Art by the Lake: Holzinger Performance, Stelar Paintings, and Mahler House Intervention

Art enthusiasts can experience Florentina Holzinger's acclaimed "Glocken" performance by Lake Constance this summer. Following its viral success at the Venice Biennale, the piece will be presented with free admission on July 11 at 6 p.m. on the Sunset Steps at Molo Bregenz. The performance features a nude Holzinger, or one of her performers, emerging from the water with a bell, accompanied by wild music.

Further south, at Lake Traunsee, Austrian pop artist Parov Stelar is showcasing his visual art. An exhibition titled "Leave the Future behind" features 36 of his paintings at the K-Hof Museum Gmunden. The exhibition, opened by former Albertina director Klaus Albrecht Schröder, reportedly displays a "certain dark undertone" rather than the "optimism of electro swing." The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., until August 16.

At Lake Wörthersee, the historic composing house of Gustav Mahler in Maiernigg, now a venue for the Mahler Forum for Music and Society, will host a performance art intervention. This year's theme is improvisation, and performance artist Carole Dertnig will engage with the site. She plans to "ensnare" the house by hanging colorful nylon stockings in the surrounding trees. The exhibition opens on July 11 at 11 a.m. and runs until October 31.
