chocolate, what else. the rolf ricke collection April 26 – June 21, 2003       60ies and 70ies so-called new sculpture from the USA and the preoccupation with painting from the 1990ies onward form the backbone of the collection established by the German gallery owner and collector Rolf Ricke.

PLUS ULTRA   October 12th - December 21st  2002       The exhibition presents artists as navigators negotiating cultural codes, images, values and processes, dealing with social drifting, drawing up maps of the changes in and the metrics of our social condition, our dreams and obsessions. (…)

smooth ruptures. japan"   June 29th - September 28th 2002       With only a few, yet prominent, artistic outlooks the exhibition presents Japanese art of recent years. The transition from the brash Manga generation to an era returning to subtler qualities of presentation supplies the conceptual thread.

herbert brandl panorama April 13th - June 15th, 2002      Many international art venues already have paid homage to Herbert Brandl's oeuvre. As did the documenta IX in Kassel where his pictures were exhibited suggesting a comparative study with the painting of Gerhard Richter. Among the major one-man shows by Brandl over recent years have been those at the Kunsthalle Basel, the Vienna Secession, the Museum Haus Esters in Krefeld, the Museum Hedendaagse Kunst in Ghent, and the Kunsthalle Bern. This exhibition presents the pictures from the series Panorama created in 2000 and 2001.

	nachgemacht/duplicated replicated naturalness - simulated nature 26th January - 30th March 2002      In today’s recurring realism the focus above all is on the human image and the question of its coordinates. The works making up the exhibition NACHGEMACHT/DUPLICATED on the other hand are starting out from the environment and are dealing with the image at the interface between the ‘artificial’ and the ‘natural.’ This dichotomy, operating along the questions of illusion, virtuality, the dream and the awakening, has always been one of the central concerns to modern artistic production. The artistic game unfolding in these inter-spaces ultimately also touches on the sphere of psychological structures and refers to concepts like the real, simulation or imagination. Curator: Martin Prinzhorn
	THE BEAUTY OF INTIMACY Lens and Paper 24th November 2001 - 12th January 2001      With its 200 pieces by 59 artists from 18 different countries The Beauty of Intimacy offers an international cross section of contemporary artistic production. The choice of techniques - Lens and Paper - corresponds with the overall theme. These are pieces on paper and others made with the help of a lens, i.e. photographs, videos and films. Centre-stage is reserved for the human figure and the images it keeps generating. Curator: Carel Balth
	JEAN-DANIEL BERCLAZ  Musée du point de vue  "Je savais que je pouvais m'éloigner si je voulais"/"I knew I could distance myself if I wanted" 06th Oct – 04th Nov  2001      The Franco-Swiss artist Jean-Daniel Berclaz, who now lives in Marseille, in his work examines the societal and urban perceptions of landscape. It is this theme which also pervades his fictitious Musée du point de vue. For this 'open air museum' he explores cities and landscapes which he then photographs from a certain point of view. At two very diverse locations in the city or its surroundings he stages vernissages as venues for people to communicate: invitations are sent out, food and drink is served on the day by waiters. Berclaz photographs and films the events.
	LOUISE BOURGEOIS Passage Dangereux June 7th – September 29th 2001      Louise Bourgeois is one of the most important and outstanding artists of the 20th century. The oeuvre of the now 90 year old, with its ever increasing intensity and surprising freshness, is a significant expression of our situation at the beginning of the new century. An exploration of the spacious cage-like structure and all its bizarre furnishings opens up a path as much into our own as into the artist's memory. Curator: Gunther Damisch, Professor at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Vienna
	JOHN M ARMLEDER ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK II March 3rd – May 26th 2001        From an international point of view John M Armleder, who lives in Geneva, occupies one of the most influential and intelligent positions within the contemporary art world. Even more so concerning his artistic strategies than his actual artistic production. Since the late 1960ies he  has been in the public eye as a fluxus and performance artist, but also as a curator, mentor of team-works between colleagues, as a painter and sculptor. For the Kunstraum Innsbruck the artist created a comprehensive installation that will comprise wall-paintings, wallpapers and objects. The exhibition has been developed in co-operation with Dr. Renate Wiehager. Curator: Dr. Renate Wiehager, Director Kunstbesitz Daimler Chrysler
	CHRISTA NÄHER Das Malwerk und das Schöne   November 17th 2000 – February 24th 2001      In her recent works Christa Näher has managed to arrive at her very own version of a baroque imagery. The larger than life pictures and drawings take up some of the artists favourite motives. Like her 'horse portraits'. In the most recent 'castrati portraits' (Kastratenbilder) on the other hand she confronts us with irritating 'artificial figures' (Kunstfiguren) that reflect on today's reality and the conditions of artistic production. In her first cinematic work 'Nachgesang' Näher looks back on her very personal and nearly life-long relationship to a specific locality, Castle Wolfegg near Lindau on Lake Constance, and thus creates as it were a frame and a setting that help us understand her work better. Curator: Nicolaus Schafhausen, Director Frankfurter Kunstverein
	Land Art etc. July 1st - September 23rd 2000      Artists: Walter De Maria, Michael Heizer, Nancy Holt, Charles Ross, Robert Smithson, James Turrell; Ansel E. Adams, Margaret Bourke-White, Edward Weston; Joseph Anton Koch, Franz Richard Unterberger, Friedrich Gauermann, Edward Compton, Rudolf Reschreiter, Thomas Ender, McGregor/Baxter, Josef Kettenhuemer; Dellbrügge & de Moll, Werkstadt Graz mit Joachim Baur,  Franz Xaver, Timm Ulrichs; PRINZGAU/podgorschek, Wilhelm Scherübl, Olav Westphalen, Hans Kropshofer, Matthias Hammer; Andrew Phelps, Elisabeth Wörndl Curators: Heinz Kaiser, Günter Mayer Scientific Support: Patrick Werkner, Publikation Land Art USA (Prestel Verlag München, 1992)
	Der Hang zur Beharrlichkeit   8. April - 17. Juni 2000        Artists: Bernd und Hilla Becher, Hanne Darboven, Dan Flavin, On Kawara, Julie Knifer, Roman Opalka, Fred Sandback, Niele Toroni Curator: Udo Kittelmann
	The Invisible Touch January 22nd - March 25th 2000         The Invisible Touch brings together an international group of artists whose works confirm different modes of sensory based communication. Next to sight-sound, smell, taste and touch, sensual experiences that make reality palpable, play a major role in their work. The Invisible Touch provides an opportunity to experience art less as a one-sided object or effect set up for edification, than a reciprocating and less predictable exchange of communication. Through various methods, these contemporary practices expand our experience of artwork as a rich perceptual activity, urging us to rethink and reimagine the world around us. By favoring open-ended, negotiable dialogs with their public, the artwork in this project suggests sentient-experiential communication as a new realism in the making. Artists: Martin Creed, Anya Gallacio, Kendell Geers, Manfred Grübl, Jens Haaning, Michael Kienzer, Job Koelewijn, Mischa Kuball, Achim Mohné, Ernesto Neto, Flora Neuwirth, Lucy Orta, Marina Rosenfeld, Martin Walde, Fritz Fitzke/Tapsi/Julia Zdarsky Curator: Maia Damianovic, New York
	h:min:sec An exhibition on time October 2nd - December 31st 1999      Hours, minutes, seconds. This is how time elapses. It is almost always perceived in different ways both objectively and subjectively. In terms of philosophy time could be defined as the irreversibility of succession which allows experience. In terms of psychology time means the passing of the present into the past and of an expected future into the present as experienced by human consciousness though in different persons. The exhibition at Kunstraum Innsbruck assembles artistic and filmic contributions, film and video material which make us aware of this feeling and perception of time and at the same time asks us to spend time - if one really wants to watch all the exhibited works in full length, one has to spend more than a whole day. Yet since time is one of the most precious resources of our modern life, viewers will hardly have enough time to do so. Hence the exhibition intentionally exceeds the time one normally spends in galleries and at the same time emphasizes the artists concern of gaining an expansion of time for art which it usually and in its classical forms does not have. Artists: Peter Fischli/David Weiss, Douglas Gordon, Pia Greschner, Derek Jarman, Joachim Koester, Jeroen de Rijke/Willem de Rooij, Beat Streuli, Rosemarie Trockel, Fred Zinnemann Curator: Udo Kittelmann
	cuba Maps of desire June 9th - September 18th 1999      Manuel Piña, Öde Wasser, 1992-1994 Guillermo Cabrera Infante, the exiled Cuban author, once described Cuba as an island full of ambiguities. It is a country hovering between social utopia and economical isolation, nursing a love-hate relationship to the American dream. Cuba - Maps of Desire demonstrates how universal topics of contemporary social relevance are taken up and reflected on by artists in the specifically Cuban situation. Thus the exhibition offers a completely different perspective on international art. The artistic outlooks presented here are characterised by the typical Cuban ambivalence pervaded by questions of identity, freedom, borders, ideology and dreaming, questions which are condensed into the common theme of desire. Artists: Eduardo Aparicio; Kcho; Manuel Piña; Abigaíl González; Ernesto Pujol; Marta María Pérez Bravo; Tania Bruguera; Ana Mendieta; Felix Gonzalez-Torres; Carlos Garaicoa Curators: Eugenio Valdés Figueroa (Havanna), Gerald Matt (Wien)
	Insight Out Landscape and interior as subjects of contemporary photography February 20th - May 8th 1999      Jan Koster, de Koppelerwaard en de Harsenhorst, 1995 The artistic photography of the last ten years frequently uses the topics of landscape and interior as the thematic starting points for its ideas of the picture. In view of the vast number of artists who are turning towards these motifs one could almost say that they define some of the fundamental attitudes in contemporary photographic art and even once more put the genres up for discussion. The exhibition Insight-Out. Landscape and Interior as Subjects of Contemporary Photography deals with these questions and presents a variety of international artistic standpoints. Artists: Dominique Auerbacher (F), Miriam Bäckström (S), Boris Becker (D), Katharina Bosse (D), Susanne Bürner (D), Joachim Brohm (D), Thomas Demand (D), Willie Doherty (GB), Elger Esser (D), Günther Förg (D), Mads Gamdrup (DK), Dan Graham (USA), Betsy Green (NL), Andreas Gursky (D), Maria Hedlund (S), Matthias Hoch (D), Dieter Huber (A), Axel Hütte (D), Candida Höfer (D), Kocheisen + Hullmann (D), Jan Koster (NL), Christopher Muller (GB), Walter Niedermayr (I), Mikael Olsson (S), Jack Pierson (USA), Lois Renner (A), Jörg Sasse (D), Thomas Struth (D), Alessandra Tesi (I), Edwin Zwakman (NL). Curator: Barbara Hofmann
	El punto ciego. Spanish Art of the 90ies November 6th 1998 - January 23rd 1999      Dora Garcia, DJ los muertos, 1998 Short after the death of General Franco in 1975, the international artistic scene paid special attention to what occurred in Spain. In just a few years the international circuit found itself virtually invaded by Spanish presence. After quite a few years, the normalisation of the democratic situation in Spain and its full political and administrative incorporation into the Western European context caused the interest in the novelty, as such, to decrease and little by little, Spain has once again been converted into al "dead angle". This "vanishing" is  what the chosen title – El Punto Ciego. – The Blind Point – is meant to reflect first and foremost. Artists: Pep Agut, Ana Laura Aláez, Txomin Badiola, Jordi Colomer, Salomé Cuesta, Dora García, Pello Irazu, José Maldonado, Itziar Okariz, Montserrat Soto, Eulalia Valldosera Curator: Josè Luis Brea
	New Art from Britain June 27th - October 3rd 1998 Laura Ford, Chintz Girls, 1998 For over fifty years sculpture in Britain has been one of the most dominant and interesting art forms. Each decade had witnessed a new wave of artists concerned with expanding the boundaries of sculpture. Talent, creativity, innovation, and above all individualism, have been the hallmarks of many of the artists who have secured an international profile for British Art. Recently there have been a number of large group exhibitions of "young British artists" which have provoked much discussion of and speculation about the character of the British art scene. However, it has become obvious during the preparation of this exhibition that the idea of "Britishness" can often be a barrier to the understanding and enjoyment of the work created by individual artists. This exhibition does not attempt to explore any national trends, instead it aims to focus attention on the qualities and achievements of fifteen individual artists who were either born or work in Britain. (Peter Murray, Yorkshire Sculpture Park) Artists: Anya Gallaccio, Christine Borland, Catherine Yass, Hermione Wiltshire, Willie Doherty, Tania Kovats, Craig Wood, KIT, John Frankland, Laura Ford, Cornelia Parker Curator: Peter Murray
	Landscape. The Trace of the Sublime March 14th - May 23rd 1998 Axel Hütte, Oberalp, Schweiz 1996 For centuries landscape has been one of the great themes of art. Even today, after man has pushed into the last undiscovered paradises and the results of destruction are becoming ever more obvious, the landscape has not yet lost its quality as a space enabling human experience, moods and poetical inspiration. To whoever observes or moves within it, it offers an immediate aesthetic experience. The image of the human figure surrounded by an overwhelmingly vast, precipitous and bare landscape was a basic motif of romanticism springing from a metaphysical longing. Artists: Marina Abramovic´, Michael Biberstein, Hamish Fulton, Franz Gertsch, Axel Hütte, Olaf Nicolai, Simone Nieweg, Panamarenko Curator: Ute Riese
	Hermann Nitsch. Collection Morra 1962-1997 November 29th 1997 - February 14th 1998 Hermann Nitsch, Schüttbild, Neapel 1986 Giuseppe Morra, friend and collector of Hermann Nitsch since the 60ies, very early-on recognised the complexity and power of the artist's work and had a major part in realising different performances and happenings. His collection, apart from numerous 'relics' of happenings, comprises extensive documentary materials like photographs, video tapes, scores and books. The objects presented in Innsbruck date from 1962 up to the present day. The exhibition accordingly does not focus on Nitsch's painting but on his idea of the Orgien Mysterien Theater which in the summer of 1998 will be premièred as a 6 day spectacle in Prinzendorf (Lower Austria).
	From Head to Toe. Fragments of the Body July 12th - October 4th 1997 Philip Pearlstein, Ohne Titel, 1997 The set-up of the exhibition, following the tradition of the Surrealist games, re-constructs the human figure in parts and fragments and reflects the intensive examination the human body is put to by contemporary art, be it the body of oneself or of another. The fragment is not only an expression of the general crisis of modernism but equally a mark of sadistic love. The body thus serves as the playing field for erotic desires and at the same time as the medium for reflecting on one's own existence. Artists: Siegfried Anzinger, Christian Ludwig Attersee, Donald Baechler, Sylvia Bächli, Hans Bellmer, Neil Blade, Bernhard Blume, Peter Bömmels, Jonathan Borofsky, Louise Borgeois, Günther Brus, Miriam Cahn, Eduardo Chillida, Anton Christian, Francesco Clemente, Pjotr Dluzniewski, Marcel Duchamp, Marlene Dumas, Günther Förg, Andrea Fogli, Javier Gil, Betty Goodwin, Antony Gormley, Asta Gröting, Johannes Grützke, Alfred Hrdlicka, Kocheisen und Hullmann, Peter Kogler, Maria Lassnig, Ulrike Lienbacher, Antonio Lopez - Garcia, Urs Lüthi, Piero Manai, Carlo Maria Mariani, Paul McCarthy, Victor Mira, Hannes Mlenek, Franz Mölk, Josef Felix Müller, Guillem Nadal, Albert Oehlen, Luigi Ontani, Claudio Parmiggiani, Fabrizio Passarella, Philip Pearlstein, Javier Perez, Bernard Perlin, Jack Pierson, Oliviero Rainaldi, Arnulf Rainer, Juliao Sarmento, Hubert Schmalix, Kiki Smith, Yi Soon - Joo, Sarah Stevenson, Astrid Stricker, Manfred Stumpf, Tom of Finland, Roland Topor, Leif Trenkler, Elmar Trenkwalder, Jan Peter Tripp, Rosemarie Trockel, Andy Warhol, Alison Watt, Tom Wesselmann, Rainer Wölzl, Kevin Woll, Brenda Zlamany Curator: Peter Weiermair
	corps/décor Zeitschnitt France January 25th - April 1st 1998 Bernard Lallemand, Little Emotions Sensor 1, 1994 The six artists presented in this exhibition are by no means representative of French art. The diversity of objects shown though testifies to a wide range of positions and above all demonstrates the absence of groups, movements or schools, which may well be characteristic of the current situation in France. Artists: Eric Corne, Christophe Cuzin, Bertrand Gadenne, Jackie Kayser, Bernard Lallemand, Jean-Francois Maurige Curators: Bernard Jordan, Marcel Lubac
	Tussen de mazen - Zeitschnitt Netherlands - "Between the Meshes" April 12th - July 6th 1997 Rineke Dijkstra, Kolobrzeg, Polen, 1982 It is those artists who, according to curator Lex ter Braak, 'slip through the net,' go their own way, look for their own rules and therefore make visible a hidden, very personal side of life beyond the conventional. Artists: Renée Kool, Wouter van Riessen, Keiko Sato, Fransje Killaars, Voebe de Gruyter, Ronald Ophuis, Rineke Dijkstra, Albert van Westing Curator: Lex ter Braak
	Pop Art and Hyperrealism in the USA October 26th 1996 - January 11th 1997 Don Eddy, Ohne Titel, 1971 An exhibition arranged by Loránd Hegyi, Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Vienna, whose collection is regarded as one of the foremost in the world in the fields of Pop Art and Realism.

	Zeitschnitt ’96 Actual Art from Austria July 20th - September 20th 1996 Walter Gundolf, "Semmelfresser", 1993 The exhibition is aimed at drawing public attention at those Austrian artists who have not yet or only marginally been given the opportunity to present their work. Artists: Gottfried Feldner, Mario Gander, Geschwister Odradek, Günter Gstrein, Eudokia Gundolf, Walter Gundolf, Stefan Gyurko, Andreas Holzknecht, Annelies Oberdanner, Klaus Pobitzer, Isa Rosenberger, Clemens Stecher Curator: Ulli Lindmayer
