Gallery Walk - Opening in Lind Castle

The expansion of the exhibition concept to include a variety of outdoor galleries has now become a trademark of the OTHER home museum Schloss Lind in Neumarkt. In addition to the Saustall-, Schafstall-, Brechlstadl-, Turm-, Glashaus-, Große-, Gedenk-, Schmiede-, Chapel and Vorturm Gallery as well as the Felsenkellergalerie (with loans from Werner Hofmeister's "Quellenmuseum"), the architectural installation by Francesco Qualizza/Hanno Kautz (a gift from the Lendhauer Association and nominated for the Carinthia 2023 Timber Construction Prize) will expand the range of contemporary site-specific art as an immersive observatory in 2024. These art venues make it possible to temporarily bind a large number of artists to the region every year.
In a kind of circular walk around Lind Castle, visitors can get to know the exhibition area of the castle park, which includes all the former sheep pastures, with its many galleries and installations. The approximately three hectares of the park itself are in the second phase of development after clearing and cultivation work and have been slowly transformed into a near-natural, anti-authoritarian park for several years, in which not only native plants grow again (in cooperation with the Grebenzen Nature Park, we try to mow many of the meadows as little as possible in order to give not only art but also many animals a home again:the Nature/Lab/Oratory will from now on accompany and experimentally continue this process at the interface between art and science), but also to allow things from regional working and everyday culture that have fallen out of the commodity cycle to age with dignity (in the installations, it is usually not so much the "art aspect" that is of interest, but the "objectability" of these found things and their half-lives:Weathering processes are part of this concept). As gardens and parks need time, the next few years will be filled with work in this cosmos of growth and decay. The main building revolves around the connotations of "culture of remembrance" and "homelands".
As a rule, home is preserved in three forms: as a re-enactment of customs and traditions (as a sequence of sacrifices and festivals), as a definition of a social space and finally as a collection of objects, images and signs. Among other things, this is the responsibility of the traditional museum of local history, which must both preserve and historicize the homeland.So if the Heimatmuseum (and the Heimatmuseum in the mind) is about creating a compact "habitable myth" from disparate elements, as Georg Seesslen says, then the exhibitions of the OTHER heimatmuseum have been about the exact opposite for years: namely, about fanning out these disparate elements.
