Author: Liddy Scheffknecht, Ernst Strouhal (eds.)The wind is a harbinger both of new beginnings and of decay, of control and chaos, and the destructive force of the wind is central to the debate on climate change. This volume is being published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name at KUNST HAUS WIEN, in cooperation with the University of Applied Arts Vienna. It presents more than twenty artistic projects that render the unseen elements air, wind, and breath visible in different ways.Ernst Strouhal traces (cultural) stories of the wind in his text 'Flying Robert and His Kin', while curators Verena Kaspar-Eisert and Liddy Scheffknecht look at air as a medium in contemporary art.
