Drawing an Orange Line

Rainer Prohaska’s work, conceived at the invitation of the Albertina, takes on the architecture of the museum’s palatial setting. Orange straps stretched around the architectural complex by the artist, who is known for his modular architectonic forms and furniture creations, serve to effect a graphical interconnection of its individual elements. The Albertina is thus transformed into a three-dimensional drawing board, that augments the exhibition Drawing Now: 2015 by an extension into the exterior space. With his intervention, Prohaska effects a particularly intense articulation of an expanded notion of drawing: Drawing an Orange Line demonstrates quite clearly how drawing is no longer limited to paper, but can also conquer walls and rooms, architecture and the cityscape.
