We try to schematize it in dots, lines, grids and spaces, understanding its passing as cyclical and then linear again. It constantly surrounds us, regardless of whether we want to take it seriously or not. We all fight against it from time to time and then remain exhausted. Since the modern age, it has been collectively consumed as a finite resource, becoming ever more expensive and scarce.

From the much-cited “15 minutes of fame” to the “bitter end”, Erich Wolf has repeatedly compiled works on the subject of time over many years. With their clock objects, motion studies, painting books, film snippets, lifelines or nature studies of seasonal growth and decay, the artists persistently try to hold on to something that reliably slips away from us in the most essential moments of our lives.

Sammlung Wolf

The collector Erich Wolf has transferred his collection of Styrian contemporary art, including the specially adapted art room in the Spiegelgitterhaus, to the cultural centre at the Minoriten. Johannes Rauchenberger, director of the KULTUM, will curate thematic exhibitions from the collection, supplemented by additional loans.
