Graz–Apr. 20, 2025

Austrian Sculpture Park

This place is in the southwest part of the city. It’s just wonderful, and it’s big—7 hectares (17 acres). If you want to see the titles of all the sculptures, here’s the web site.

These signs are painted on the ground so you don’t have to go right up to the sculpture to find out its name and the artist’s name.

There’s different wording on each side of this artwork...

No Longer Visible

This one is called „sechs komma vier“ (six point four), and it is utterly cool. The artist made a mold of a 200-kg rock and made 6.4 copies of it. (The 0.4 is on the right in this picture.)

The Globe as a Suitcase

This is a work by Yoko Ono; “Painting to Hammer a Nail In / Cross Version”.

Large empty metallic picture frame with human figures along the frame’s inner edges.

I was absolutely taken by this one.

Here are some closeups of the figures inside the frame.

Fat House; there’s a video playing inside the house where the house is talking about whether it is a house or an artwork. Here’s a video when it was installed indoors.

And here’s a video of the fat car talking...
