Pre/scriptions in the gallery and in the public space in the town of Judenburg, Austria. Lettering in stencil technique, white dispersion brushed onto different surfaces, mostly shopping windows.

Martin Breindl intentionally misunderstands the places he finds on site. By “describing” their surface with his misinterpretations, he changes their everyday references and meanings—he “prescribes” them (and himself); doing so he perhaps releases their hidden poetic, anarchic, or philosophical dimensions.

As an analog display, the wall of a central educational institution was used as a window from and into reality by displaying the works of a number of Austrian and international artists. The reception took place both in the everyday use of the urban space and “behind the wall” in the learning room of young people. The contributions changed every 6—9 weeks, thus expanding a busy inner-city square by one dimension over a period of more than one year.

Invited artists were: Martin Breindl, Pia Lanzinger / Michael Hauffen, Gerhard Rühm, Ingeborg Strobl and Milica Tomic.
