Humans and Demons in Graz and Styria.

exhibition
21. 9 - 15. 10 / Tuesday - Sunday 10am - 6pm

Forum Stadtpark, which slightly resembles a modernist villa, for steirischer herbst ’23, becomes the Villa Perpetuum Mobile, the fictitious residency of Stefan Marinov, a dissident’s dissident. Unsatisfied with opposing the Communist government of his native Bulgaria, the physicist also believed he could invent a perpetuum mobile in his exile in Graz. When his experiments failed, he committed suicide. The contributions
here—by Alice Creischer, Vadim Fishkin, Hollis Frampton, Pedro Gómez-Egaña, and Michael Stevenson—are objects of a fanciful interior where Marinov could have lived, revealing different sides of his search for free energy.
