Change of Scene
A project by the artist group freundinnen der kunst in the course of The Curious Museum - a coop. of Lentos with Linz 2009 European Capital of Culture.
Four art works from the Collection of the Lentos Art Museum feel a need for a "change of scene". They take on the role of four personalities and approach the freundinnen der kunst with the request for a different location. In selected, publicly accessible places in the city, the director of the Lentos Art Museum together with the freundinnen der kunst will turn each of them over to a host on site, with whom the art works will spend the next 26 days.
On their "day of departure", each of the four art works will be picked up by the freundinnen der kunst and brought back to the Lentos Art Museum. In the course of a staged production in the art museum, visitors and hosts can be informed about the art works' "excursions".
