Under the tinkling title “blingbling”, the artist duo Fulterer Scherrer has developed a concept for new spatially relevant works created specifically for the former assembly hall of the Kunstraum Dornbirn. The dimensions extend the sculptural œuvre to include space-encompassing constructions which are based on the dimensions of the industrial hall's lattice windows: almost elliptically curved wooden fames, spanned with imitation leather coloured surfaces, fixed by gigantic rivets. The tied, suspended or intertwined forms restructure our spatial experience. In pop colours, seemingly superficial aesthetics and sensual material combinations, the artists address virulent questions of identity, sexuality, power and the construction of reality.

The exhibition was on view at Kunstraum Dornbirn from November 2023 to February 2024. The artists live and work in Vienna and the Waldviertel. Gabriele Fulterer was born in Mürzzuschlag, studied sculpture at the University of Music and Performing Arts at the Mozarteum in Salzburg and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in Bruno Gironcoli’s master class. Christine Scherrer was born in Salzburg, studied textile design at the University of Music and Performing Arts at the Mozarteum in Salzburg and painting/concept at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna with Ingeborg Strobl and Erwin Wurm. They have been working together in a collaborative, interdisciplinary and cross-media manner since 2007.
