For six weeks, the fifth edition of Dimensions Variable# follows in the footsteps of the Swiss sociologist Lucius Burckhardt and his wife, the urbanist and object artist Annemarie Burckhardt. "Bringing the environment back into people's minds" - a maxim of the Burckhardts, who developed promenadology or Spaziergangswissenschaft from their reflections - a cultural-scientific and aesthetic method that aims to purposefully expand environmental perceptions with reflexive walks.
National and international artists were invited to develop 15 interventions around the nursing home Lainz - the former "Geriatriezentrum am Wienerwald". Along the artistic works, an urban-rural walking path is formed, which spans the arc from Urban Art to Land Art and depicts the transition from city to natural landscape in Lainz.
The exhibition is accompanied by open-air concerts, discourse events in the Rote Kapelle and weekly, thematic tours that accompany visitors on their walks as performative art mediation.
