Information

A decision of exemplary status was made concerning the commissioning of art projects for public space in Lower Austria in 1991. For the first time, an attempt was made to award artists commissions for specific concepts in categories of interior design usually associated with aesthetic issues but seldom with artistic ones.

'Textil' (Textile) aims at an artistic representation of the permeation of mind and body as formulated by the Roman author Juvenal – "a healthy mind in a healthy body". Spot and outline, outline and colour, colour and rhythm enter into a relationship with one another, permeating a space where people ought to enter into relationships themselves. May body and mind be mutually beneficial to one another.
