In Conversation: Günter Zamp Kelp

In conjunction with the exhibition HAUS-RUCKER-CO LIVE again (extended until 25 March 2008 due to popular de-mand!) is Andrea Bina, curator of the exhibition, in converstaion with Günter Zamp Kelp, founding member of the artist/architect group HAUS-RUCKER-CO.

In 1967 the architect Günter Zamp Kelp, together with the architect Laurids Ortner and the artist Klaus Pinter, founded the group HAUS-RUCKER-CO. Their collabora-tion led to the creation of proposals, objects, installations, situations and interventions that suspended the boundaries between art and architecture, expanding both fields in ways that were radical, visionary and playful. Until 25 March 2008 (extended until af-ter Easter due to popular demand!) Lentos shows a partial re-staging of the exhibition LIVE from 1970 with the usable pneumatic giant billiard and the slanted passageway Oxer, supplemented with works and documents from the HAUS-RUCKER years from 1967 to 1970.
