For Theresia. Anton Bruckner: a HerStory

Portrait panels on the move.

This project focuses on ten women who played a role in Anton Bruckner's life. Linz-based artist Zoe Goldstein spent over a year collecting information in order to compile these biographies. The aim is to make these women visible and to get an idea of who they were and how they lived. This exploration through old portraits and biographies enables a questioning of the role of women in society then and now. The title of the project links the importance of women to his art and refers to his mother Theresia Bruckner, who was an important female constant in his life. In order to bring the topic closer to a broad public audience and to stimulate a discourse, this project is conceived as a travelling exhibition in Linz, Steyr und Attersee. An additional programme item after the opening in the Brucknerhaus on International Women's Day is a production with a concert and reading in the last month of the presentation on the Platz des Mariendoms.
