Life

Ingeborg Strobl grew up as the daughter of a teacher with two siblings in Schladming. In her childhood, nature and rural life with her aunt in a small village in southern Burgenland on the Hungarian border shaped her.

At the age of 18 she went to Vienna and studied until 1972 at the University of Applied Arts with a focus on graphics . During her studies she started taking photos. From 1972 to 1974 she attended the Royal College of Art in London, where she obtained a Master of Arts in ceramics . In the 1970s she mainly worked as a ceramist and graphic artist. Her sculptural works are considered anti-design . In 1987, together with Ona B , Evelyne Egerer and Birgit Jürgenssen, she founded the feminist artist group Die Damen , to which she belonged until 1992 and which “showed sexisms in funny, relaxed self-presentations”. From 1999 to 2001 Strobl taught design as a visiting professor at the University of Applied Arts. Ingeborg Strobl has exhibited in renowned museums, mostly in Austria, since the 1970s. She lived in a small apartment in Vienna's 7th district and worked as a freelance artist until her death. She bequeathed her estate to the Mumok in Vienna.

Collages, object art

Ingeborg Strobl collected everyday objects and found objects, arranging them with her photographs, watercolors, texts and printed matter into collages or with sculptures into room installations . She created poetic miniatures out of seemingly incidental matters, marginal phenomena of civilization. With her works she thematized and satirized concepts such as society, consumption, longing, pain and explored the relationship between nature on the one hand and people and their things on the other, which she herself once called the “clash of cultures”.

In her exhibition Dear Vienna, Your Ingeborg Strobl at the Wien Museum 2015, she arranged photographs and mementos from everyday life on a foray through her personal Vienna. In memory of her, the Lentos Art Museum Linz has a showcase with works by the artist in the permanent exhibition The Collection in April 2017 . Set up classics, discoveries and new positions .

Art in public space

Memorial for lost biodiversity

In 1997 Ingeborg Strobl created a two-meter-high stele made of smoothly polished Danube sandstone in the Paasdorf cultural landscape in Lower Austria, in which she carved the names of 14 different cattle species that were native to the region around 1880, and the names of the three remaining in 1997 Cattle breeds. The memorial was created before the media debate about cattle farming.

a garden (for example)

In 2008 she realized a permanent art-in-building project entitled a garden (for example) in Novaragasse in Vienna-Leopoldstadt , which was formerly known as Gartengasse (1797–1812) and Gärtnergasse (until 1862). She designed the facade with large enamel panels, on which plants are depicted that would thrive in Vienna. Stylistically, she made reference to woodcuts from the 19th century that are reminiscent of the Novara expedition .

Glass facade UnterWasserReich Ramsar

The UnterWasserReich Ramsar in Schrems is a visitor and research center for raised bogs in the Waldviertel . Ingeborg Strobl won the architectural competition for the design of the glass facade in 2004. She brought black representations of pond frog , sand lizard and adder by screen printing on the glass outer skin over a background ornament of white amphibian skeletons on. The facade design also provides sun protection.

reception

Ingeborg Strobl was a refusal of “product compulsion and consumption dictates”, said Andrea Schurian . Strobl mistrusts the art market, to which it supplies “no marketable merchandise”. Their method “was slowness, precise observation”, wrote Roman Gerold in his obituary. She did not want to be distracted from the attentive gaze by the digital media . Wolfgang Kos described Ingeborg Strobl as a serious and politically thinking artist. They tend to have great connections with ecological and civilization-critical impulses without romanticizing. In her photographs, which are components of her picture arrangements, her focus is on the detail, on the ignored, on the battered. As it were, she picks up things from the floor.

“Ingeborg Strobl gives the everyday, the inconspicuous, the lapidary dignity and, in the truest sense of the word, prestige. This is great art. Your art. "
