About the Item

Bernhard Leitner, (Austrian, 1938) From a portfolio "Sound : Space" "Ton : Raum" Self published by artist in 1975/1976, Limited edition of 50 Hand signed in pencil by artist. According to his gallery it is a photomechanical litho etching process. It is hand signed and numbered. It might be a screenprint of sorts. Bernhard Leitner, born 1938 (Feldkirch, Austria) Architect and artist, Pioneer of sound, space and light installation art. Leitner studied Architecture at the Technical University in Vienna. Lived from 1968 until 1983 in New York City. Worked first with the Department of City Planning, than as Associate Professor at New York University, Co-director of "Urban Design Studies: Humanistic Perspectives"1983–1986 in Berlin. 1987–2005 Professor for Media Art at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Bernhard Leitner’s work in Sound Architecture and Sound Space Sculpture goes back to his artistic-empirical research (1969–1975) in New York, i.e. to his physical-acoustic analyses on experiences of spaces that are formed, designed and composed with the sculptural material Sound stemming from his interest in architecture, music and dance. Three-dimensional movements of sounds shape new architectural spaces. He was influenced by American Minimalism and Minimalist art. The scale of his work reaches from large permanent urban architectural installations (Le Cylindre Sonore,Paris; Sound Field 1020 Vienna; Sound Space Technical University Berlin) to body-related sculptures (Sound Chair; Vertical Space for one Person; Sound Arch; Sound Suit). As with the work of John Cage even the silences are loaded with meaning. This work combines architectural drawing with a photograph of his work. He was also instrumental in preserving the architectural work of Ludwig Wittgenstein, the Austrian philosopher who was also a one-shot architect. Leitner helped save the single house designed and built in Vienna by Wittgenstein.
