Wind
moves – both things and human thought. The wind is also 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.
The book Wenn
der Wind weht / When the Wind Blows 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.
