The work of Austrian artist Gerwald Rockenschaub is closely associated with the Neo-Geo movement of the 1980s, exploring the intersections of abstract avant-garde, minimalism, and pop art. His visual language is characterized by a uniquely coded aesthetic, drawing from elements of popular and everyday culture, as well as a fascination with industrial, depersonalized production processes. Rockenschaub’s spatial installations—such as those presented in the Austrian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 1993 or at the mumok in Vienna in 2005—merge minimalism with reflections on the dynamics of contemporary exhibitions within the “white cube.” Often, he intervenes directly in the architecture of a space, challenging the relationship between the viewer, the artwork, and its environment. In addition to his visual practice, Rockenschaub’s musical background plays a key role in understanding his artistic approach. Deeply rooted in pop culture, his time as a student at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna led him to immerse himself in the music scene. Influences include concerts by Sun Ra, Prince’s legendary Purple Rain Tour, and his own role as guitarist in the New Wave band molto brutto, which all contributed to the cultural polyphony of his work. Between 1995 and 2001, Rockenschaub ran the nomadic club the audioroom in Vienna, staging events in unconventional venues such as the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine or the then-closed 20er Haus (now Belvedere 21). Key milestones in his career include appearances at documenta 12 (2007), exhibitions at the Kunsthalle Bern (2008), the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg (2011), and the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen (2016).
