Drink tea! Eat more fruit! Wash your hands!

Helping each other, discussing ideas, maybe developing a collective practice or working individually as well as preparing food and mainting everyday life in the quarry are common ground.

Analogous to what they are aiming for in their course in the Untersberg quarry within the Salzburg International Summer Academy, Cäcilia Brown, Anna Hofbauer and Mikkel Holm Torp will approach the exhibition at the Stadtgalerie Lehen in a “surf and turf” way of collaboration and combination – of rocks and waves.

Cäcilia Brown, born in Sens (FR) in 1983, focuses with her sculptures on public space. Her latest works use roof beams and other material from demolished buildings, in allusion to socio-economics of urban life and increasing commercialisation of the property market. She lives and works in Vienna.

Anna Hofbauer works between sculpture and photography, often based on structures borrowed from narrative forms such as novels, diaries, myths, essays or screenplays. She has participated in exhibitions and sculpture workshops in Europe and Asia and performs slideshow presentations that link depictions of sculptures and landscapes with historic and ongoing narrations of sculpture and society. She is a co-founder of the non-commercial exhibition space BLACKBRIDGE OFF, Beijing, where she curated group shows and film programmes from 2010 until 2015.

Mikkel Holm Torp, born in Frederiksberg (DK) in 1987, lives and works in Copenhagen and Carrara (IT). After serving his stonemason apprenticeship in Copenhagen he studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Carrara. Based on the historical relationship between narrative and stone, his work focuses on how the solidification of the past becomes visible in the creation of personal fictions.
