Editorial

The past summer might have been a mixed bag, but we at EIKON hope
to bring you an exciting fall season. We start off with our cover, where
MICHA PAYER and MARTIN GABRIEL play out the Mendelian laws of heredity in a game of role play, proposing a multi-subjective view of the world. The Austrian couple, whose work combines photography with drawing, is also featured this fall in EIKON’s SchAUfenster at Vienna’s
MQ, which as usual will open on the day EIKON appears.

The work of Finnish artist JORMA PURANEN also deals with variation and renewal. His astonishing landscapes take some time of reflection to bring the truth of a mirrored world to light. DOROTHEE GOLZ quotes art history, and at the same time disturbs the beholder by placing the figures of her digital paintings sensually and yet remotely in the present. With ALICJA KARSKA and ALEKSANDRA WENT we present two Polish artists who with great poetic sensibility explore their interest in the fugacity of things. They protect weeds with glasshouses and arrange sugar cubes like architectures in the urban surroundings to feed our doubt in what endures. MARKUS OBERNDORFER also reports of disappearance when he portrays the bunkers of the Atlantic Wall and shows how they are taken back by nature and readapted by people. His photographs are a search for traces, a narration of coming and passing.

In our Forum, in the second part of the series In Conversation Maria
Rennhofer meets Gerhard Rühm, a writer, composer, and artist, who
celebrated his eightieth birthday at the start of the year. Our section
On Collections features an interview with Artur Walther, who has now
erected a new space for his notable collection and opened the first show curated by Okwui Enwezor this past June. Our reviews of exhibitions in this issue offer a breathtaking panorama that stretches from the first Linz triennial to Jürgen Klauke’s Aesthetic Paranoia in Karlsruhe and Thomas Struth’s famous Museum Photographs in Zurich to Voyeurism at Tate Modern. In addition, Olga Kronsteiner reports of record breaking results on the art market. Also in this issue: learn more about a sensational discovery in the US and read about the new publication on virtual intrusions from Verbrecher Verlag.

We look forward to an eventful start to the new season!
For all of us at EIKON, Elisabeth M. Gottfried
