Ein Hoch auf den Feierabend. Hobby machen, Hobby rauchen. Opportunities for social connection and skill development. Leidenschaft trifft Besessenheit. Wir holpern durch den Alltag, laut und erzeugend: Baggern im Hinterhof, Vogelhäuser bauen. Für Leute, die nicht mögen, was sie tun. Hobby riecht nach Kleber.
Stefan Brandmayrs Skulpturen bestehen aus Kombiniationen von Stahldraht, Presspan, Epoxidharz, Fiberglas und Styrodur. Sie sind bunt, verhandeln Geometrien und Volumen, zelebrieren das Wackelige und inszenieren sich als handwerkliche Laien. Spuren der Produktion werden immer umarmt, niemals verwischt.

Pia Mayrwöger lebte und arbeitete als freischaffende Künstlerin in Linz. In ihrer künstlerischen Praxis beschäftigte sie sich weitestgehend mit dem Themenfeld Arbeit. Mit Hilfe von einfachen Maschinen lotete Sie die Grenzen zwischen industrieller Produktion und dem Wert des künstlerischen Objekts aus. Ihre Arbeit wurde unter anderem mit dem Arbeiterkammer Kunstpreis (2021), dem Arbeitsstipendium des Bundesministeriums für Wissenschaft und Forschung und Bildung (2021/2022) sowie dem Linz AG Atelierstipendium der Kunstförderpreise der Stadt Linz (2022/2023) ausgezeichnet und werden im In- und Ausland gezeigt.

That which is, is woven in the sense of a multiple discourse: contradictory, relative; as a network of relationships and relatedness. That which shows itself always shows itself to oneself and to others; it always has something to say to oneself and to others. Here I am, it says, and at the same time, here I am not, here is another.
That which is, is always already – an outwardness and an inwardness at the same time. It is something like a multiple message and transmission that is never completely sent and yet is always already on its way, a message and transmission in which it is not entirely clear who is sending it and whom it is supposed to reach.
Peter Brandlmayr and Gerald Freimuth intuitively followed this trail. For a year, they used a variety of media to communicate with each other, with themselves and with everything that came their way. In doing so, they travelled to places that would have been hard to reach in any other context.
The exhibition Weiter, weiter, Postit… (Go on, go on, Postit…) is a document of this journey, a document of relative openness towards oneself and others.
Peter Brandlmayr and Gerald Freimuth understand their work as the materialisation of discourses, stories and messages – as a collage. Within this framework, different positions, perspectives and shifts encounter one another in a playful, performative way.
All of the works on display were newly conceptualized and created specifically for the bb15 space.

Opening Performance: » – . ! : (voices: Mzamo Nondlwana, Aaron Josi Sternbauer, Crystal Wall; accordion: Jakob Steinkellner), 7:30pm
In her work, Lisa Großkopf takes aim at the striving for perfection. She highlights a troubling worldview: one that ascribes responsibility for life’s happiness primarily to the individual, while largely ignoring essential variables such as structural inequalities and social disadvantages. Großkopf confronts the neoliberal ideal—where health, beauty, and contentment are viewed as things to be maximized solely through diligence and discipline—with the reality of hyper-capitalist societies.
At the intersection of literature and visual arts, Sarah Rinderer focuses on dealing with language itself, its pauses, gaps and in-between-spaces. By making seemingly silent punctuation marks audible together with voice performers or by sending a message into the past through semaphore gestures, she explores the conditions that make communication possible – across spatial and temporal distances, different sign systems, codes and beyond words.
Lisa Großkopf (b. 1989, Vienna) studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, and the University of Arts Linz. Her extensive exhibition history includes presentations at Lentos, Belvedere 21, the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, and Kunsthaus Graz, as well as recent participation in the Ars Electronica Festival. Her work has taken her internationally to cities such as Budapest, Tehran, Düsseldorf, Bratislava, Amsterdam, Kassel, and Jacksonville, and has included solo exhibitions in Prague, Ljubljana, and Chongqing.

Most recently, she received grants for studio residencies abroad, such as Barcelona, Athens, Reykjavík and Paris, as well as a start stipend for literature (BMWKMS, 2024).
