Gerwald Rockenschaub / percolated / accelerated (leisure) pursuit &

This is a collection of works by Gerwald Rockenschaub (born 1952), who is currently one of Austria's leading contemporary artists.
Since his artistic beginnings in the Neo-Geo movement of the 1980s, Rockenschaub has developed works characterized by radical reduction and precision.
He is also active as a techno DJ and electronic music composer, and his activities are reflected in his works, absorbing everyday images and forms such as logos, signs, and pictograms, and moving away from the surrealist and concrete traditions. I create sculptures, wall installations, and animations with quotations.
 
Rockenschaub's large-scale installations, such as those exhibited at the Austrian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 1993 and at the Ludwig Museum of Modern Art in Vienna in 2005, are minimalist objects, but at the same time, they also influence the way contemporary art is exhibited. It's drawing attention. Animation, foil art, and objects are set as playful dialogues, and with acrylic glass surfaces, the works constantly incorporate the viewer's reflections into the work. Rockenschaub himself describes this work as ``funky minimalism,'' a term that also suggests the author's musical background and sampling of artistic genres.
 
This collection includes a wide range of Rockenschaub's works and records of his exhibitions over the past 11 years. Scan the QR code to access Rockenschaub's acoustic works.
