Neue Ausstellung am Uni-Zentrum Theologie: Kooperation mit Accademia di Belli Arte di Brera in Mailand

Dem heimischen Künstler Hermann Nitsch ist die neue Ausstellung „Kunst heilt Medizin – Zehn Werke“ in der Bibliothek der Katholisch-Theologischen Fakultät der Uni Graz gewidmet. „Thematisch ergänzend zum kürzlich eröffneten Campus der Med Uni Graz fügt die Theologische Fakultät mit einer feinen Semesterausstellung eine wichtige Nuance zum Schnittfeld von Ethik, Theologie, Medizin und Kunst hinzu“, erklärt Hans-Walter Ruckenbauer, Koordinator der Ausstellungs-Plattform ZeitKunst am Uni-Zentrum Theologie.

Für die aktuelle Ausstellung zeichnet Isabella Guanzini verantwortlich. Die Professorin am Institut für Fundamentaltheologie kuratiert in Kooperation mit der Accademia di Belli Arte di Brera in Mailand ein Spektrum aktueller künstlerischer Interventionen. Die Werke thematisieren das Verhältnis von zeitgenössischer Medizin und vorherrschenden Menschenbildern. Ruckenbauer: „Damit führt es mit ästhetischen Mitteln den Diskurs fort, den das internationale Symposium Blickpunkt Mensch – Medizin – Begegnung im September dieses Jahres an der Katholisch-Theologischen Fakultät mit dem Instrumentarium der Wissenschaften führte.“
Das Werk Cura (Sorge) von Vittorio Corsini verteilt sich auf zwei Standorte: die Fakultätsbibliothek Theologie und gleichsam als Außenstelle das Kulturzentrum bei den Minoriten. In Cura fungiert die künstlerische Praxis als symbolischer Behälter, der die Fragilität des (leidenden) Lebens in der Form von blauen, zarten Blumen zu schützen vermag.

Die Ausstellung findet in Kooperation mit der Galerie des Kulturzentrums bei den Minoriten statt und ist bis März 2018 am Uni-Zentrum Theologie bei freiem Eintritt zu besichtigen. Die Fakultätsbibliothek Theologie ist wochentags jeweils von 9 bis 18 Uhr geöffnet, während der Ferienzeit von 9 bis 14 Uhr.

Career Booster: How the Research Careers Campus supports researchers

They are innovative, creative and productive – researchers who have not yet been appointed to a professorship make a massive contribution to a university’s research output. To provide them with even better support on their career path, the University of Graz has established the Research Careers Campus. The official launch took place on 22 April 2026 with a ‘festival’.

Greenery on the rise: over 500 new flowers, perennials and shrubs on campus

Bright blooms and fresh greenery make our hearts beat faster in spring. But it is not just us humans who delight in this colourful growth. For many animals, this splendour provides, above all, food and habitat. There has recently been an increase in this on the University of Graz campus. More than 500 native flowers, perennials and shrubs have been planted on strips of fallow land around Universitätsplatz 2.

Building biological bridges: Chemist discovers an ecological tool for the pharmaceutical industry

Building a relationship on a solid foundation is also important in chemistry. To produce medicines, disinfectants or plant protection products, stable bonds between carbon atoms must be formed. Conventional chemical methods rely on environmentally harmful reagents and solvents to carry out the desired reaction. This process also produces unusable by-products. Chemist Lilla Gal has discovered an enzyme that enables the same process to take place efficiently and sustainably. The results of her research were recently published in the prestigious journal Angewandte Chemie.

Higher Education Strategy 2040: Austria’s universities on course for the future

Austria has 77 higher education institutions, which is above the EU average – but does this really make sense? The new Higher Education Strategy 2040 focuses on cooperation rather than mergers. As one of the six largest universities in Austria, the University of Graz plays a central role in this.
