Ausstellung - Christiane Muster

The architect, artist and designer Christiane Muster Brettschuh has lived in Arnfels for many decades and has left her mark on the region with her creative signature in her work in public spaces and especially in her exploration of sacred buildings. The exhibition presents works from various creative phases that document her artistic development over the years. The variety of drawings and paintings reflects the broad spectrum of her creativity. The portraits created by Christiane Muster Brettschuh are deeply rooted in the Styrian cultural scene and are also historically significant. They impressively tell of moments and people that have inspired the artist over the years.

Christiane Muster was culturally influenced early on at her parents' home in Klagenfurt and during her studies in the exciting and stimulating Graz scene of the 1970s: architecture, jazz, literature, Forum Stadtpark, Trigon, Manuskripte, Sterz - there was a lot of experimentation, boundaries (also between the arts) dissolved. She called the Stahlbauzeichensaal - TU Graz her homebase. She then won a furniture competition and a post-graduate scholarship at the Danish Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Christiane Muster has lived in Arnfels with the painter Gerald Brettschuh since 1980. Here she devotes herself to the restoration and revitalization of houses and the design of sacred spaces. She was awarded the Styrian GerambRose architecture prize for her work. She was responsible for the interior design of the two legendary inns Hasewend (Eibiswald) and Höchwirt (Graz Andritz) and the Emmaus Chapel in Wernersdorf. Less well known is her painterly work, which is presented here. The focus is on portraits, as a way of reacting to and perceiving people in greater depth.
