About the exhibition
The studio of Diakoniewerk Gallneukirchen offers people with physical and intellectual disabilities the opportunity to develop their personalities through creativity and artistic work. A special approach is to support each individual with their own identity and style. The studio's activities range from free drawing and painting, printmaking and applied graphics to three-dimensional work with a wide variety of materials, as well as workshops and projects. Further focuses are increased cooperation with other institutions and artists and work in the public sphere in the form of exhibitions and art projects. The five exhibiting artists – Rosemarie Heidler, Erika Staudinger, Jutta Steinbeiß, Johanna Rohregger and Heinz-Frieder Adensamer – belong to the studio of the Evangelical Diakoniewerk Gallneukirchen, where they have had their permanent artistic workplaces for years. Their works are held partly in private ownership, partly in the Arnulf Rainer Collection, at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg and in international travelling exhibitions. Each has an unmistakable style and develops their own themes.
