PETER WEIBEL Editions produced and published by Artelier

With this exhibition, we would like to express our remembrance and solidarity with the late artist PETER WEIBEL (1944-2023).

Our exhibition is a personal gesture of appreciation to an extraordinary personality who, through his above-average knowledge, quick thinking and creative power, had a decisive influence on the art and media landscape for decades - and will continue to do so.

Peter Weibel was an exhibition curator, artist, art and media theorist.

He headed the Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe from 1999 and was chief curator* of the Neue Galerie at the Universalmuseum Joanneum Graz from 1992 to 2011.

He has curated numerous legendary exhibitions and symposia in Graz, including KontextKunst in 1993, Phantom der Lust (2003), RAF - Zur Vorstellung des Terrors (2005) and many others.

Weibel's artistic oeuvre is too extensive, too expansive, too complex and can only be presented in the context of a large retrospective exhibition to do justice to its diversity and depth.

Our selection shows some of the works that Peter Weibel has created over the years in collaboration with Artelier Graz and is intended to exemplify the dialog he has conducted with this city and its art scene.

The exhibition is open from Friday, May 16 from 17:00 to 19:30.

Sat. May 17th 11:00-19:00

Sun. May 18 11:00-15:00
