Inside
H
ow can one approach a particular place, how can one describe a place and,
at the same time, inscribe oneself into it; how can one bring out the pecu-
liarities of the place whilst still focusing on and comprehending one’s own existence
as an artist?
These are the questions explored by the visual artist Ida-Marie Corell in her A.I.R.
project THE ARTIST IS RESIDENT, that has now been published as a book and that
Florian Werner takes to derive the theme for the year, INSIDE, providing an insight
into the hotel structure and its specific conditions. Ida-Marie Corell’s approach is
divided into several different phases, informed, to begin with, by a circumspection
which, manifested in the term “Resident”, also bears hints of “Resistant”. The question
of total abandonment and the necessary resistance permeates the entire publication,
explored by the artist in three topic areas. LOST IN LOCATION marks the start and the
tentative approach to the hotel as a place, DREAM AND ISOLATION the deceptive
state of having arrived, and FOUND IN CAMOUFLAGE subtle infiltration as a form of
closeness to the place coupled with a resistant stance. Parallel to this, as a subtext
to the book, the artist negotiates questions concerning the mechanisms of self-discovery, answering them with different forms of self-presentation.
Ida-Marie Corell’s presence in the hotel represents nothing but the attempt at
appropriation with the aid of the devices of irony and actionism. But much more so,
and indeed foremost, the book is an in-depth and wonderful portrait of the place itself.
Ida-Marie Corell’s project fits seamlessly into a series of artworks – site-specific
interventions – which meanwhile run through the entire hotel like a red thread, being
readable as a comment on the significance and function of the place and, slowly but
surely, beginning to change the hotel’s identity.

//hospiz art prize © national art school , sydney
Mission Statement
In its approach the Kunstquartier Hospiz corresponds with to that of the
Arlberg Hospiz Hotel as a traditional, exclusive hotel with a focus on the guests
and their well-being. In the Kunstquartier Hospiz, the focus is on the
artist instead of the guest. Accordingly, all activities at the Kunstquartier Hospiz
are based on fair and open principles of community.
In accordance with the tradition of the Brotherhood of St. Christoph, the
Kunstquartier Hospiz serves the purpose of promoting and making visible
a younger generation of artists
at the start of their creative lives. The Kunstquartier Hospiz provides
access to all artistic directions, from traditional artistic formats to New Media
Art.
The multi-layered programme at the Kunstquartier Hospiz is as dedicated to hotel guests as it is to lovers of art. The Kunstquartier Hospiz is
dedicated to its regional location, with which it is closely integrated and carries
out an active exchange, without losing sight of the international focus.
The Kunstquartier Hospiz is another exclusive trademark of the Arlberg
Hospiz Hotel.

www.lleroc.com
Ida-Marie Corell’s artistic practice is characterised by an
interrogation of consumer culture and its objects. The focus
of attention in recent years was the plastic bag object in its
range of different cultural manifestations and as a distinctive
expression and synonym of a globalised world. With her
current A.I.R. project THE ARTIST IS RESIDENT, the artist
takes an in-depth look behind the scenes of the hotel workings, thereby creating a profound and subtly differentiated
picture of the place itself.

world of objects, while at the same time distancing itself
markedly from the same thanks to its model-like nature.
The cultural empirical knowledge of their viewer always remains inscribed in the objects, a knowledge which charges
them with individual meaning. In the media room, the artist
presents the result of his A.I.R. stay, during which, with the
aid of the film medium, Kay Walkowiak explores the relationship of art and nature based on a minimalist object.

“Freedom”
The exhibition in the old sauna area features works created
by the inmates of the Saxerriet prison (canton of St. Gallen)
on the topic of “Freedom”. The more than sixty works are
showcased in hanging acrylic glass cubes which create
the impression of a connected installation. The form of the
acrylic glass cubes both protects and makes visible freedom
as a valuable asset.

“old Original Ski Posters from
Austria and Switzerland” // Passage
december 2013–April 2014
Background
As alpine sports holidays began to entice the wealthy to the European Alps in the Nineteen
Twenties, so the first ski resorts began commissioning the finest artists of the day to create advertising posters to display in travel agencies, railway stations and hotels. Such
early posters allow us a glimpse of a golden age of unspoilt Alpine slopes, wooden skis
and tweed coats.
As time passed and interest in skiing became the global phenomenon it is today, so ski
advertising adapted to suit. In capturing this changing zeitgeist from art deco through to
Sixties psychedelia (‘skidelic’) to the present day, ski posters
offer an affordable art form from our recent past which is
filled with nostalgia. Demand has never been higher, as the
booming auction market shows. Interested buyers are not
just skiers fondly remembering a special run but art collectors,
hoteliers, chalet owners, investors and even modern resorts
themselves.
The man behind OriginalSkiPosters.com, Russell Johnston,
said: “Original ski posters have become increasingly sought
after, not only because being so rare many continue to escalate in value, but also because it’s a great way for skiers to
remember a special holiday or re-live those fabulous experiences on the slopes. Most customers, however, choose to
buy simply because they love a particular poster, image or
ski resort.”

New Release of
Archival Original Ski Posters
Russell Johnston went on: “Amazing as it sounds, the Robert W. Johnston
ski poster archive of over a thousand original posters was an attic find.
Originally built by my father, an RAF navigator stationed in post-war Europe,
the collection passed to me in 2004. But I didn’t know about his collection;
he never mentioned it! Nor, to my knowledge, did he ever ski! You can
imagine my somewhat pleasant surprise when I discovered hundreds and
hundreds of these dusty old mailing tubes stacked in the family attic. Since
then I have spent time carefully cataloguing and conserving the archive (a
process which continues to this day), first going online in 2005.”
Because of the painstaking conservation and photographic procedure
required of a paper archive, OriginalSkiPosters.com only release further
posters every other year or so. The general feeling though from those who
have glimpsed it, is that the 2013-2014 vintage is another exceptional one,
featuring rarely seen large scale images of Chamonix, Zermatt and Cortina.
amongst others.

email release.
The entire poster archive can be viewed at www.originalskiposters.com.
Originals cost from £400 to £20,000 ($600-$30,000). Bespoke fine art

Johanna Braun’s painterly works are expansive and serve as stage settings in which the
artist performs. In her paintings, frequently based on historical sources, Johanna Braun
herself is regularly the motif. Her action here is in firmly keeping with a feminist tradition

Lea Titz’s conceptual work, dominated by the photography

the associated degree of authenticity are exchanged by the
artist in her manipulation of various photographs (including
found footage), thus subtly changing valences of (lived)

of expression to create astonishing languages of form which

The starting point of Samuel Schaab’s sculptural works and spatial interventions is the material itself, that provides information about the possibilities
of artistic formation. The artist puts this into new functional contexts and
combinations in search of the appropriate expression in each particular
case. Sound frequently plays a key role, embodying aspects of change and
temporality.

Hans Panschar
Hans Panschar’s artistic trademark is arguably most likely
that of a duality which joins together to form a whole. The
trained boat-builder and carpenter has taken the wood medium as his artistic material, searching for the essence of
this organic raw material, exploring how he can approach

in Berg am

and build on it in his art, and thus where the cultural intervention begins. However, he also combines wood with other
materials, for example contrasting it with concrete, neverthe-

the medium. Alongside more documentarystyle photographs, which assume a mystic
aspect due to perspectives or exposure, they
often enact still lifes and landscapes, frequently appearing themselves in their sceneries. The motifs are often of an absurd, surrealist nature, detaching the photographic
image from its everyday use and turning it
into an individualised artistic tool.

The two Vienna-based artists work on the boundary of a
wide range of media. They make use of the video medium
as easily as they create sculptural works with incredible
naturalness. Sculptural objects feature recurrently in their
mysterious – narrative – filmic video works (road movies),
be it in the film setting itself as real objects or be it as animated objects often laid over and thwarting the film. In so
doing, they lend to these objects, formally reminiscent of

Der zweite BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors präsentiert 217 private, doch öffentlich zugängliche
Sammlungen zeitgenössischer Kunst. Die prägnanten Sammlungsporträts entführen Sie in 41 Länder, dabei häufig
in Regionen oder Stadtviertel abseits des Gewohnten. Weder im Internet noch in Buchform existierte bislang
eine vergleichbare Liste von internationalen Privatsammlungen – darunter einige, die ihre Türen für Kunstinteressierte und Kenner erstmalig öffnen. Die überarbeitete und erweiterte Auflage mit 49 neuen Sammlungen ist ab
sofort online und im Buchhandel erhältlich.
