Unbuilt Graz
Architecture for the 20th Century
The exhibition at the Graz Museum presents a selection of unrealised architecture of the 20th century in its socio-political context. Plans such as the Scheiner high-rise department store at Jakominiplatz (1929/30), the Garden City Marienwiese (1947), the Trigon Museum in the Pfauengarten (1988-93) or the Kunsthaus in the Schloßberg (1997) are exemplary in Graz for the perpetual debate about the compatibility of modern building culture with the preservation of the historic old town.
SCHLOSSBERG 1982
Branko Lenart’s Subjective Topography
The 1981/82 black and white photo series created by the Graz-based Slovenian/Austrian photographer Branko Lenart is probably the most extensive photographic work of the 20th and 21st centuries on Graz’s local mountain. The almost completely deserted views illustrate the intertwining of cultural and natural space. The unusual and yet familiar views allow for a new interpretation of the mountain freed from the tourist postcard view.
The new Graz Museum Schlossberg
Ein Making of
Im Graz Museum Schlossberg erhalten Besucher/-innen Information und Orientierung in historischer und topografischer Hinsicht. Dieses neue, familienfreundliche Museum stellt auf zeitgenössische Art die Geschichte des Schlossbergs und seine Bedeutung für Graz dar. Gemeinsam mit dem Graz Museum in der Sackstraße bildet das Graz Museum Schlossberg eine Klammer zwischen Berg und Stadt.
