As part of his project RIOT DESIGN Pablo Chiereghin (b. 1977 in Adria, Italy, lives and works in Vienna) in autumn 2020 showed a multimedia presentation in the tresor of the Bank Austria Kunstforum curated by Lisa Ortner-Kreil. A continuation of the project will now take place in the “Stadtraum” of the Friedrichshof Collection.
It centres around everyday commodities such as furniture; the artist does violence to it intentionally, rebuilds it with artistic restoration methods and gives it a new design. The “disowning”, presentation and conceptualisation of this process within an exhibition context form the core of the project.
