The monument to commemorate Vienna's mayor Karl Lueger erected in 1926, who held office from 1897 to 1910, is highly controversial among the public today - and not without reason. Karl Lueger (1844 -1910) skillfully managed to build up an unprecedented cult around his person and captivated people as a "modernizer" and "advocate of the little people." With radically racist rhetoric and ruthless populism, he turned anti-Semitism into a political program.

With the installation "LuegerTemporär" Nicole Six and Paul Petritsch extend the discussion about the monument to other traces of Lueger in the city: they measured and documented commemorative signs - from busts to plaques - that can be found in Vienna and are dedicated to Lueger. Sixteen of these signs were gathered on Lueger-Platz in the form of their outlines in original size. Here they are now temporarily stored as a public archive. It is a kind of temporary memory storage system that shows us how Karl Lueger inscribed himself in the memory of the city of Vienna in many places.

The public is provided with a symbolic "display warehouse" that illustrates the process of ordering and structuring as a necessary basis for forming opinions. The artists thus invite a public process of reflection that can be thought beyond the square and be the starting point for public discussions or further artistic interventions. They expand the specific questions raised by the memorial to an overarching one: how do we as a society want and should deal with our historically burdened heritage today?
