Als Individuen wickelt uns die Um-Welt in mehrere Hüllen. Sie umgibt uns in Schichten, angefangen bei der Kleidung, sozialen und physischen Räumen, die uns Deckung geben, bis hin zur Erdatmosphäre und dem Universum. Under the Outer Shell verwandelt den Ausstellungsraum in einen Unterschlupf, der von Daniela Trinkls Plastiken sowie Malereien von Blanca Amorós, Victoria Iranzo und Judith Grassl belebt wird. Diese neue Realität zieht uns unter die äußere Oberfläche und stellt beengende Grenzen in Frage.

Under the outer Shell delves into the layers that surround us, from the corporal to the cosmic. The exhibition space transforms into an otherworldly shelter, inhabited by Daniela Trinkl’s sculptures and paintings by Blanca Amoros, Victoria Iranzo and Judith Grassl. A new reality that immerses us beneath the stratum, questioning the barriers that constrain us.

A Glitch aesthetics, once seen as mere digital malfunctions, have evolved into a powerful visual and conceptual language. From Rosa Menkman’s explorations of compression artifacts and error aesthetics to Nam June Paik’s pioneering experiments with television distortions, artists have long used malfunctions as a means of exposing hidden structures and questioning dominant narratives. How can these ideas be pushed further in today’s world?
Exploring analogue interpretations of digital disruption, we have created a show exploring how glitches, blips, and bugs manifest beyond the screen through physical media, material decay, disrupted processes, or hacked infrastructures. This investigation delves into the potential of error to transcend mere malfunction, questioning how it can be depicted tangibly and transform into a method of creation, a dynamic movement, or even a powerful act of resistance.
Over twenty local Austrian artists and international artists will be presenting artworks addressing the theme, across all media, from moving image, sound, and installation to print, sculpture, and performance.

Daniela Trinkl's artistic practice explores the changing relationship between humans, technology, and the environment. In a hybrid space between the artificial and the organic, she creates works that address the fragile balance between human control and loss of control, between order and decay. The exhibition unfolds across multiple media and levels, in which reality and staging intertwine, making the rupture between humans and nature tangible. This raises questions about intervention in nature, failure, and the finiteness of humankind. This creates a field of tension in which the familiar becomes alienated and the relationship between humans and their environment is renegotiated.
The exhibition is realized in cooperation with forum presents.

Diocesan Art Prize Linz 2024: Daniela Trinkl
Submitted work: Genetic Blossom
Statement from the jury:
With her spatial installation, Daniela Trinkl explores the question of the controllability of the manipulation of life by blending science and science fiction into an artistic narrative. [...] With three sets of large-format PU foam sculptures, she creates swelling mountains of foam reminiscent of biological formations and cell structures. [...] Through a very stringent and consistent implementation, her concern becomes clearly understandable, and with this artistic statement, she succeeds in reflecting a controversial social issue. The excesses of excessive technology are dramatically illustrated in Daniela Trinkl's artistic work. The high ethical relevance of GENETIC BLOSSOM corresponds in a very special way to the specifications of the call for entries and convinced the jury to select this work for this year's Diocesan Art Prize .

And upon individual request
The spatial installation "Genetic Blossom" by Daniela Trinkl explores the topic of genetic engineering and its risks. The attic at Hauptplatz 23 is transformed into a secret place where experiments are carried out with a genetically modified material. Science and fiction merge into an artistic narrative in which visual and atmospheric elements intertwine to raise the question of the controllability of this technology.

In the exhibition Interbreeding Daniela Trinkl explores the emergence of new hybrid life forms through the influence of plastic on biological life. The artist is interested in the idea of artificial generation of life and its controllability. In genetics, the term interbreeding describes the reproduction of two genetically different plant or animal species. What happens when biological material merges with synthetic matter?
