Hofstetter Kurt's "Eyes" Found a New Home in Vienna's Schottentor Subway Station

For 15 years, two large eyes looked at each other and the passengers in the hall of the South Station - since the art installation "A Moment in Time" by Hofstetter Kurt was installed there in 1994. Until the building was demolished in 2009 and the artwork lost its home. This was followed by years of exile in Peter Weibel's ZKM in Karlsruhe. But now the male and female monitor eye, embedded in steel hemispheres, are back in their old home.

Legendary Art Installation "Eyes" Returns to Vienna

The early digital work has now found a new home at the Vienna subway station Schottentor, along the escalators in the west of the facility. This is more intimate, because it's closer, the 65-year-old Hofstetter Kurt is pleased to announce. His art also keeps up with the times: the eyes are no longer on heavy tube televisions as before, but on modern, significantly lighter flat screens.
