Beyond Art: A Third Culture
A new theory of culture presented with a new method achieved by comparing closely the art and science in 20th century Austria and Hungary. Major achievements that have influenced the world like psychoanalysis, abstract art, quantum physics, Gestalt psychology, formal languages, vision theories, and the game theory etc. originated from these countries, and influence the world still today as a result of exile nurtured in the US. A source book with numerous photographs, images and diagrams, it opens up a nearly infinite horizon of knowledge that helps one to understand what is going on in today’s worlds of art and science.
(Schmalix)
The Austrian painter Hubert Schmalix is best-known as a Neo-Expressionist. In the late 1970s and early 80s, his powerfully colorful works explored the genres of the still life, landscape, nude and portrait in a process that became increasingly expressive, taking on a great affinity to the painters of Die Brücke. In the mid-1980s, the female nude became Schmalix's dominant subject, and he began to work in the tradition of colorful Asian woodcuts. In the 1990s, his vocabulary expanded through his encounter with West Coast school painting to include religious subjects, the image of Christ and cityscapes of Los Angeles. In his most recent works, Schmalix has reduced his palette, and, in the tradition of photographer Nobuyoshi Araki, devoted himself to the portrayal of the female nude in erotic bondage rituals. Featuring a representative selection of paintings, this book is the first to provide a survey of the artist's entire oeuvre.

Hans Kupelwieser
Alongside Erwin Wurm and Franz West, Hans Kupelwieser (born in 1948 in Lunz) occupies a third independent position in contemporary Austrian sculpture that represents a significant step forward in the development of a Postmodern concept of sculpture. Kupelwieser has always sought new materials which he uses in the manner of Arte Povera but also in a kind of linguistic approach in which he explores new meanings associated with these materials. A flat rubber or a massive steel sculpture in which letters have been punched to create openings serve, for example, as a windscreen and thus assume an entirely new function. This interplay of material extension and operational expansion between form and function is the fertile ground of Hans Kupelwieser's analytical explorations. Presenting numerous large illustrations, the book offers an overview of the sculptor's current work as well as several important reference works from early periods. Attention is also given to his photographic oeuvre, an equally important part of his work that relates closely to his sculpture. Exhibition schedule: Neue Galerie Graz am Landesmuseum Joanneum, May 8 - June 20, 2004
