The Art
of Listening.
Stories about art, memory and the imagination. An invitation to discover what we cannot always see.
The Art of
Reinvention.
How did artists find new forms of expression after the catastrophe of war? From photography to poetry and sculpture, twelve encounters with the art of seeing, speaking and inhabiting the world.
Art
without
the image.
A photograph can be described. A sculpture can become a landscape of words. A poem can reveal an entire world through its sound.
LinBoRen presents a cultural audio series devoted to the artistic reinvention of Vienna between 1945 and 1989. Through carefully researched conversations, we explore individual works, artistic decisions and their historical contexts.
Created for curious listeners, art lovers and those who experience images differently, these programmes begin in Vienna but reach far beyond it.
The first programmes are available in German. English and Italian editions are planned.
Photography.
The city and its memory. From postwar photojournalism to the poetry of colour, from remarkable portraits to the overlooked edges of Vienna.
The City, the Image and Memory.
Photography in Vienna after 1945. Destruction, exile, reconstruction and the camera’s role as witness to a changing city.

Literature After Catastrophe.
The Viennese literary avant-gardes and the search for new possibilities of language after 1945.
Friederike Mayröcker.

Sculpture.
Body, object and space. How sculpture moved beyond the monument to become a new encounter between materials, people and the world.
Beyond the Monument.
From the pedestal to the expanded object. New materials, new spaces and new ways of experiencing sculpture after 1945.
Kiki Kogelnik.
The body, technology and three-dimensional experimentation. An artistic imagination moving across disciplines and continents.

To listen
is another
way to see.
Art is not confined to museums, concert halls or books. It lives in the conversations we cultivate and in the attention we give to one another.

Join the conversation.
Art becomes more interesting when we think about it together. Which episode stayed with you? Did it change how you see a photograph, a poem or an object? Share a thought, a memory or a question. Every perspective is welcome.
