HHouse of Stories: What’s New
Press Release
Monday 6 April 2009
The sCHICk Travel Agency by Madame Bricolage (Claudia Czimek) has been growing by leaps and bounds. And the various and sundry souvenirs of the artist’s travels have also been accumulating and becoming part of this magnificent microcosm.
And of course the Wooly Walls of the freundinnen der kunst (Girlfriends of Art) grow fluffier and more colorful by the week. The wall treatments produced at their Friday afternoon knit-ins have begun to proliferate over the space’s windows! All knitters are welcome—from seasoned pros to curious novices.
Among the new features at the House of Stories are the Rabbit Heads created by artists Cornelia Kraske and Elisabeth Windner. For a €20 deposit, you can take one out for a test run and experience Linz through the eyes of an Ill Rabbit.
Another new installation is the Photo Album Swap Meet. On hand are photo albums of all colors, shapes and decades. Whoever brings one in can takes a different one home!
Beginning in mid-April, the Theater des Kindes will be using these premises to develop a production for the Schäxpir Theater Festival for Young People. In the world premiere of Franziska Jägerstätter Tells All, the protagonist sits in her apartment and relates incidents from her long life (theater monolog, age 9 and up, 45 minutes).
The Linz Art University’s sculpture class will be moving in at the end of April (tentatively). They’ll be making the strange and spooky visible for all to see in the House of Stories’ inner courtyard and cellar.
