Josef Kaiser :
Beine

Back
Hollabrunn, 1992

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.

'Beine' (Legs) is a torso, as are almost all of the pieces by Josef Kaiser, but not a pathetic monument to a damaged or incomplete figure, but a document bearing an extract of information about the body. It is to be understood like a sample of body tissue, whereby in the part of the whole you already have the complete information for the figure.
