WORK is pleased to present a retrospective of key projects by avant-garde Viennese architectural group
Haus-Rucker-Co.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haus-Rucker-Co.\u2019s designs for inflatable structures, prosthetic devices and interventions into public spaces were also blueprints for social change and an experiential theory of architecture. Situating itself in the transitional ground between architecture, design and action art, the group was unique in its distinctive emphasis on the perceptual realm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their pneumatic projects aimed to counteract apathy and passive acceptance of one\u2019s environment by distorting the experience of public and private spaces, evoking a \u201cfeeling of foreignness\u201d. Immersive environments, bubble and capsule forms, and mind-expanding structures for private contemplation or forging personal connections all delineate not only specific physical zones but also psychological spaces. Haus- Rucker-Co. also took a playful approach to architectural materials and strategies. Plastics\u2014mutable, flexible, inexpensive, and with seemingly infinite potential\u2014provided not only the material for many of their projects but also served as a model for the era\u2019s futurist vision of a democratic and mobile lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inner World \/ Innen Welt presents a comprehensive selection of archival drawings and collages, photographs, models and ephemera spanning Haus-Rucker-Co.\u2019s 25-year collaboration. Some of the projects on display were realised in public spaces; others remain virtual\u2014and often fantastic\u2014solutions for social, political or environmental concerns. Exhibited projects include Oase Nr. 7, a bubble-like personal oasis which protruded from the fa\u00e7ade of the Museum Fridericianums during the 1972 Documenta; Gelbes Herz, a psychedelically-patterned \u201ccommunications space-capsule for two people\u201d; Rahmenbau, a giant framing mechanism contrasting urban sprawl with the natural landscape; and Cover, a temporary white inflatable casing erected over Mies van der Rohe\u2019s 1921 Lange House in a gesture of architectural dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inner World \/ Innen Welt marks the 20-year anniversary of Haus-Rucker-Co.\u2019s dissolution with a celebration of the broad scope and conceptual density of this extraordinary group\u2019s output. Haus-Rucker-Co. was founded in 1967 by Laurids Ortner, G\u00fcnther Zamp Kelp and Klaus Pinter, later joined by Manfred Ortner. The group has exhibited internationally, including participation in Documenta 5 and 6, and was the subject of a major exhibition at Kunsthalle Wien in 1992, the year of the collective\u2019s dissolution. Already working together as Ortner & Ortner on major building commissions from the mid-1980s, Manfred and Laurids Ortner went on to develop an extensive portfolio of built projects, propelling the preoccupations of Haus-Rucker-Co. into a new realm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To coincide with the exhibition, WORK is also pleased to announce a limited edition photographic series by the artists, and a special edition of PAPERWORK that locates Haus-Rucker-Co.\u2019s practice within broader aesthetic, historical and socio- political contexts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
