Ein Kunstprojekt im Botanischen Garten dreht sich um den Lein und seine Verwendung

Lein ist eine der ältesten Kulturpflanzen der Erde. Er wurde schon vor 10 000 Jahren zur Fasergewinnung genutzt. Im Botanischen Garten widmeten sich in den letzten Monaten KünstlerInnen und WissenschafterInnen dem Anbau, der Erforschung und der Verarbeitung der Pflanze. Die Abschlusspräsentation und fotografische Dokumentation des Projekts ist noch bis 22. November 2017 in den Gewächshäusern zu sehen.
Das Konzept erstellte der Philosoph und Kunstwissenschafter Bozo Raic. Seine Intention war, den Rohstoff von der Saat bis zur Ernte zu verfolgen und im Anschluss diesen natürlichen Vorgang mit einem künstlerischen Prozess buchstäblich und im übertragenen Sinn zu verweben. Zu diesem Zwecke wurde ein archaischer Webstuhl nachgebaut und bespannt, der ebenso im Botanischen Garten ausgestellt ist. Die Malerin Barbara Raic bearbeitete schließlich fertige Leinwand mit Acrylfarben, ihre Bilder sind nun ebenfalls zu besichtigen.
Der Botanische Garten ist die einzige Lein-Anbaufläche in Graz. Die wissenschaftlichen Hintergründe zur Kultivierung und Verwendung der Pflanze lieferten Ursula Brosch, Christian Sturmbauer, Gabriele und Christian Berg.

Die Ausstellung zum Kunstprojekt „tenuis textura“ ist bis 22. November zu den Öffnungszeiten der Gewächshäuser täglich von 8 bis 14.30 Uhr zu besichtigen. Der Eintritt ist frei.

In hot water: New Report reveals record losses in glaciers, permafrost and snow cover

Climate change is driving up temperatures not only in summer. Winters are also getting warmer – with dramatic consequences for glaciers, permafrost, snow cover and the freezing of lakes. The recently published cryosphere report provides specific figures for Austria. “Our monitoring shows a clear trend with record losses of ice and snow,” says project leader Wolfgang Schöner from the University of Graz.

Theologian at the University of Graz: What the excommunication of the Society of St Pius X

Following the schism involving the Society of St Pius X, there is a need for discussion.

“HeinrichBiCool”: University of Graz demonstrates the effects of green facades and roofs

The University of Graz has launched a pioneering project at the University Centre for Theology. Its name, “HeinrichBiCool”, says it all: a comprehensive system of green facades and roof will cool the building at Heinrichstraße 80 during the summer. At the same time, this will create a new habitat for plants and animals, helping to increase biodiversity. The accompanying monitoring programme will provide detailed data on the impact of the measures on indoor climate, energy consumption and biodiversity. The findings will lay a scientifically sound foundation for further projects aimed at making cities sustainable, climate-resilient and liveable. The partners in this project, funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), are AEE INTEC – Institute for Sustainable Technologies, Technisches Büro Siegfried Stark, the landscape architecture and urban planning firm “studio boden”, and Ökoteam Graz.
