Artist: Leo Schatzl
2017 – today
Loose Harbour is the title of the annual program curated by Leo Schatzl at Symposion Lindabrunn in 2017. The basis of the project can still be seen on site: two sea containers and a pontoon for variable crane constructions. One of the containers contains a “metal construction kit” that makes it possible to simulate different constructions of a port facility. In 2017, these building materials were used in a spectacular way. The communication center, commonly known as the Arena, was briefly flooded and a temporary summer oasis with a sauna, bathing boat and sunbathing lawn was created with the Sun Deck installation. With Loose Harbour, Leo Schatzl takes a playful approach to the site and picks up on the history of the quarry, which was formed from the fossilized Tethys Sea. The dream project “Harbour”, which was experimentally designed by the participating artists in Lindabrunn in 2017, is located between the past, present and future.
