Peter BRANDLMAYR

"In my artistic work I mainly confront science's form and content. In doing so, I use artistic and scientific methods to deal with a theme in a complex way. The play with fact and fiction constitutes an essential element in this. I thus founded the Institut für Wissenschaft und Forschung (Institute for Science and Research) in 1999, where a series of fictional scientists are employed. In my works, I am concerned primarily with these characters, their lives and their works, and I attempt to pull them from the realm of fiction through the collection of photographs, personal objects, sketches, manuscripts, etc., and make them potential facts. The physicist Prof V. Krylov emerged in this way along with ADAM, Prof Merkel, and C. Fouche. Since the IWF defines itself as an institution situated between art and science, there are also references to art within this cosmos of scientific figures, which are personified mainly by the artist C.I. Brom."

Apparatur zu den Grundlagen der Physik I
an awesome sound installaton work composed and performed by Peter Brandlmayr. Experiment N1725/33. Experiment E1916/802. Experiment H1944/56. Elektromagnetischer Konflikt. Experiment E1916/774. First experiments with the instruments of the "Apparatur zu den Grundlagen der Physik I" [apparatus to the fundamentals of physics], based on the manuscripts of Professor V. Krylov. "Each instrument consists of a basic frame, super 8 projectors, and projection areas. Every instrument is accompanied by a s…
Interaktionen
Sectioned and muffled reverberation opens the latest work Interaktionen by Peter Brandlmayr, a work of austere mystery, fractured space and premeditated anxiety. Ostensibly, a work that crookedly hangs between your ears, operating on oxides and ancient gases that perfume the air with the spirit of inopportune, fearsome outcome. The wiry hiss of studio experimentation of 'Relikt R89' with its dusting metals, rubbery prepared stringed instruments recall recent work by Joseph Suchy, a…
