Seating
Podestal Seat designed by Thomas Feichtner
Podestalseat (Sitting Platforms)
Exhibition installation for the Gmunden symposia for concrete art at the State Gallery Linz, Austria.
Josef Linschinger, organizer of the Gmunden symposia for concrete art and an internationally accepted leading exponent of concrete art in Austria, was Thomas Feichtner's professor at University of Arts Linz. The Landesgalerie (State Gallery) Linz presented a documentation of the symposia in 2008. The symposia, which have been organized since 1990, have been documented in 20 publications so far. These publications were presented by Thomas Feichtner within the framework of an exhibition installation. Five sitting platforms in mirror-inverted arrangement offer the visitor a chance to study the 20 volumes. The function of the platforms is not reduced to the presentation of the books but to invite the visitor to sit and linger. The so-called podestal seats are hollow and self-supporting through the precise, computer-supported miter cuts. The inside of the hollow bodies is purple - a blend of cyan and magenta, the colors of the mural texts.
