PREFACE Andras Palffy, President of the Secession For his first large-scale solo exhibition in Austria, Klaus Weber transforms the Secession's main exhibition hall, often cited as the original White Cube, into a synaesthetic and dynamic organism whose architecture is shaped by "living walls" formed by hanging plants, openings in the ceiling's skylights, the subtle extension of a wall, and not least importantly by a deployment of daylight dependent on the whims of the weather. Within this scenario, Klaus Weber organises his sculptures and installations as though they were theatrical props on a stage. Social questions of a philosophical, psychological, or economic nature are generally the points of departure for Weber's artistic work; methodologically, it is always in close contact with conceptual art. The realisations usually bear the marks of subtle irony or anarchic energy. One guiding idea in the conception of this show was transformation; loss of control was another. Time and again, Klaus Weber draws on images of an overwhelming and unruly nature, images that express a sharp contrast with the impetus of (Western) societies toward regulation and control. He recognises a constructive potential in this uncontrollable aspect of nature, something that is usually seen as problematic or destructive. His Sonnenorgel [Sun Organ], a work developed specifically for this exhibition and the "central organ" of its mise-en-scene, illustrates this antagonism, including some of its contradictory aspects. The artist had a heliostatic mirror installed on the Secession's roof that collects the sunlight and projects a concentrated ray into the exhibition space. There, the light strikes an octagonal mirror object that scatters reflexes across the room, illuminating the exhibits as though with a spotlight or merely streaking them and thus establishing an immaterial connection between them. But the entire mechanism works only on clear days, when there is enough sunlight? on gray autumn days, these highlights will be absent: an element of chance the artist has deliberately chosen to accept, making it a part of the very concept of his show. We would like to thank all those who have lent their support to this exhibition project and the catalogue: first and foremost Klaus Weber for the confidence he has shown in us and for the excellent collaboration. We thank Alex Farquharson 88 pages.
