Thomas Waidhofer. STRAPPED

Thomas Waidhofer – STRAPPED. Red Carpet Art Award Showroom Altes Landgut

Les Nouveaux Riches presents exactly this private insight into the life of the Viennese artist Thomas Waidhofer. In his installation STRAPPED, the artist shows a conventional bookshelf that has been stretched into a steel frame by means of tensioning straps. The shelf, which appears to be floating, is decoupled from the outside world and protected as a kind of fragile commodity. The content is understood to be biographical; various formative stages of life and accompanying reading have been arranged in what is perceived as a typical style for a shelf.

Thomas Waidhofer, born in 1988, is a Viennese artist and designer. After his apprenticeship as a high voltage electrician, he studied digital art at the University of Applied Arts. During his study it became apparent that his work was more about artistic design than digital values. Since 2015 Waidhofer works on objects, spaces and installations, always trying to give narratives to conventional furnishings. In some cases, old furniture and lamps serve as a medium, while new objects are often constructed using all the tools of technology and craftsmanship. His results range from minimalism to the extraordinary, which is mainly determined by the mix of different styles, processing possibilities and materials. He likes to describe his work with two simple words – beauties & beasts.

Severin Dünser. Bread & Digestifs

I often get lost in the search for exhibitions that take place abroad. Through the platform Current Athens, I learned about the show „Bread and Digestifs“. The art space, Callirrhoë is relatively new, and when I see the pictures and the area, the place reminds me strongly of my hometown Tirana.
