Graz–May. 6, 2025
Kunsthaus Graz
Finally got to the modern art museum (Kunsthaus Graz).
The first exhibit was sort of meh, with only one photo worth taking:
Things got a bit more interesting on the other floors, though. Here are some links to the exhibits you see in these photos: Freeing the Voices and Poetics of Power
While the worker works, the poor man enjoys himself
There were small speakers in these cans; if you came close, you could hear them emitting sounds.
This was an interesting piece: the black cloth is surrounded by black pieces of wood with gold lettering. They go in sequence, though I did not photograph all of them. (Sorry about some of them not being in focus.)
This is the exterior of the museum (taken from top observation area)
And this is what it looks like from inside...
Some further pictures
The sections in this table had papers from political movements. Here’s a detailed description.
Yes, the spray paint on the restroom door is intentional.
This isn’t a mirror; it’s a photo of a mirror.

An artistic bench.
Other Art Pieces
“To Set Free”: The artist took coins and separated the inner part from the outer ring.
One of two somewhat odd pieces. This one shows a woman named Selma Selman, walking down a street in Washington, D.C. on election day in 2020, yelling “You have no idea!” (See a short video clip)
Another film was part of a performance piece by Marina Abramović: Freeing the Voice (1975), which was the artist lying on her back and screaming continuously for three hours. (See a short video clip)
