Die KünstlerInnengruppe setzt sich in vier Modellhäusern mit den Fragen nach der Konstruktion von Lebensentwürfen, nach Rollenbildern und Gesellschaftskonzepten direkt am Schauplatz ihrer kommerziellen Verwertung auseinander. Die Arbeiten werden in den von den Firmen Genböck, Griffner, Rubner und Veritas zur Verfügung gestellten Häusern entwickelt und ausgestellt.

Bereits seit 2006 bespielt das Kollektiv leerstehende Räumlichkeiten, um ungenützte Häuser temporär wiederzubeleben und Perspektiven für Zwischen- und Weiternutzungen aufzuzeigen. Während die drei vorangegangenen Projekte der Gruppe in Linz und Brüssel stets Gebäude zum Thema hatten, deren eigene Vergangenheit stark in die Inhalte der Arbeiten einfloss, bieten die Modellhäuser nun erstmals Gelegenheit, die Denkmöglichkeiten ihrer Nutzung auf vielfältige Weise zu erweitern. Eine Zusammenfassung der Arbeit des Kollektivs wird derzeit in der "Leerraumzentrale" des Architekturforums Oberösterreich im Rahmen der Ausstellung "Reclaiming Space - Temporäre Zwischennutzungen" gezeigt.

Neben Fotografien sind Video- und Soundarbeiten sowie Installationen der sechs KünstlerInnen Ulrich Fohler, Thomas Kluckner, Kristina Kornmüller, Ingo Leindecker, Petra Moser und Ulrike Seelmann zu sehen. Begleitet wird die Vernissage von der Performance "Willentlich von Jemand".

The art collective KOMPOTT searches and temporarily livens up abandoned urban buildings.
On Feb. 19, 2009 we published a documentation of the past three exhibitions in form of a small fifty-two pages catalogue.

Involved artists:
Ulrich Fohler, Thomas Kluckner, Kristina Kornmüller, Ingo Leindecker, Petra Moser, Doris Prlic, Ulrike Seelmann and Jimena Kato Murakami

The collective searches and temporarily livens up abandoned urban buildings.
Main fields of interest are the historical background as well as constructional pecularities of the premises. After two exhibitions in Linz/Austria the group develops site-specific art installations, photos, sound and video for the first time in Brussels.

The opening is taking place in the former hotel "Le Noailles" on August 8 at 7pm, starting with a live sound performance of leindecker/prlic. The exhibition can be visited for three days.

Involved artists:
Ulrich Fohler, Thomas Kluckner, Kristina Kornmüller, Ingo Leindecker, Petra Moser, Doris Prlic, Ulrike Seelmann and Jimena Kato Murakami

A group of young artists from the University of Art in Linz came across the abandoned house and will expose art installations and videos there starting from April 21st until 28th.

This exhibition antecedes the project "Leerstand Blumau" which was organised by the same group of artists Ulrich Fohler, Thomas Kluckner, Kristina Kornmüller, Ingo Leindecker, Petra Moser, Doris Prlic, Ulrike Seelmann and Wes Westenburger in July 2007.

The main topics of reflection are particularly the ongoing change of the reception of the medium radio, the different forms of listening as well as new technological ways of consumption. The processes of searching, finding and personalising are integral parts of the performance.

Every performed track is built on a different topic, fragments of broadcasts are cut, chopped, looped or transformed into atmospheric ambient music. Sometimes the topic of a track is obvious and serves as a statement, some tracks are more sound-collages than music, and with others the audience experiences an atmosphere created by abstract sounds.

In this way content evolves into music and music becomes content.

A project together with Barbara Huber

The emotional clash and the conflict of identity of the main character of the performance is introduced by a remake of a german "Schlager", which transports all imaginations of luck on an emotional level. The character begins to resist against the heteronomy and perambulates different stages of emotional conditions. The well image is being questioned while the hassle with oneself gets out of hand and drifts to capricious madness.

The character begins to wish itself back in an infantile way to the ideal childlike world.
In the end it falls back into its original, moderate and assimilated condition.
The lyrics are reduced to four repeating strophes, which intensifies the disposition of the sound and lets the audience comprehend the different emotional conditions of the character.
