Anyone looking for role models for a successful housing policy will sooner or later end up in “Red Vienna”. Its myth is unbroken and owes its existence to the Viennese municipality’s enduring political insight that housing is a social responsibility an …

The Great Repair” is an oxymoron. The title captures the convergence of two seemingly contradictory principles: the revolutionary ambition for systemic change and the evolutionary act of repair. The resulting aspiration is one that, despite its plea fo …

Herbert List was fascinated by the ”artificial humans“—life-size figures moulded in wax—on display at the Panoptikum in Vienna’s Prater. In 1944, he photographed these waxworks, depicting them as “corpses set in position and daubed with make-up—frozen …

Die Herausbildung des modernen Architekten fällt mit der Erfindung der Fassade als eigenständige Bauaufgabe zusammen. Es waren Theoretiker wie Leon Battista Alberti oder Filarete, die im 15. Jahrhundert den Architekten als Urheber architektonischer Kon …

Dieser Erfolg verdankt sich in erster Linie einer erstaunlichen Kontinuität der politischen Einsicht der Wiener Kommune, dass Wohnen eine gesellschaftliche Aufgabe ist und nicht allein dem Markt überlassen werden darf. Im Laufe eines bewegten Jahrhunde …

Clare Rojas is an internationally shown artist, currently based in San Francisco and is considered to be part of the Mission School. She is “known for creating powerful folk-art-inspired tableaus that tackle traditional gender roles.” She works in a variety of media, including painting, installations, video, street art, and children’s books. She received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and previously attended the Rhode Island School of Design. Referencing West Coast modernism, Quaker art, Native American textiles, Byzantine mosaics, and Outsider art, Rojas tells stories through painting, installations, and video. Often her narratives concern relationships between the sexes and among humans and animals, in their struggle to find harmony and balance. Many works quietly celebrate the traditional strengths of women, depicting them like Russian nesting dolls in conventional roles without critical undertones or hints of sexual exploitation. Quilt-like patterns in vivid colors accentuate the folk art-inspired scenes present in some works, while simple geometric forms and stark interiors evoke Bauhaus design in others. Recently, Rojas has focused her attention on the abstract shapes formed by architecture and shadow that dominate interior spaces, producing colorful, precise, abstract compositions on stretched linen.
