{"product_id":"steffi-von-rainer-grilberger-und-noele-ody","title":"Steffi","description":"Heavy, idiosyncratic, caught between shelf and wall – Rainer Grilberger’s artist’s book Steffi is not merely a book but a sculpture. Encased in sheet steel and fitted with thermoformed acrylic glass, it unfolds as an object that can shift between lying, hanging, and standing.\n\nIts point of departure is a steel sphere – a sculpture that sank into Pleschinger Lake near Linz in December 2019 and was recovered a year later by divers together with Noële Ody. Covered in rust, algae, and deposits, it resurfaces: as a transformed body, as an image, as a narrative.\n\nThe publication documents this process of creation, disappearance, and return. Photographs, video stills, and precise captions trace the chronology of a sculpture whose form and meaning continuously shift in the tension between painting, relief, and object.\n\nThe artist’s book is both a continuation of the Relief Relief series and a work in its own right. It weaves together references – from pop-cultural finds such as Daisy and Donald Duck: Von Kunst keinen Dunst to exhibition contexts in Linz (EFES 42), Vienna (Belvedere 21, ES49), and beyond – revealing how a sculpture reappears not only physically but also across different spaces and times.\n\nPublished as Edition Kunstuniversität Linz, Volume 3, in cooperation with Verlag für moderne Kunst, the book is part of a series conceived by artists of the University of Arts Linz, realized with a distinctive, reflective approach to the medium of the book.\n\nAn object between documentation and sculpture, between materiality and fiction – heavy and at the same time fleeting like the surface of water.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783991531876\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783991531876","offer_id":57483050647877,"sku":"9783991531876","price":89.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/aced4192-3824-467d-be61-7e115e1df919.jpg?v=1774937740","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/steffi-von-rainer-grilberger-und-noele-ody","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
