In this collaboration between Radio
Helsinki and HALLE FÜR KUNST
Steiermark, we recorded a workshop inside the current
exhibitions of Eva
Ursprung and Susanne Wenger.
Together with participants, we explored the artworks directly in
the exhibition space and produced material for this radio
program.

The recordings begin with a guided tour led by
Caro, introducing both exhibitions. Afterwards,
participants chose artworks that caught their attention and we
discussed them together — sharing perspectives, questions, and
critical reflections that emerged while encountering the works.

Eva Ursprung is an Austrian artist,
musician, and curator whose feminist and socially critical
practice moves across media such as installation, performance,
and sound. In her exhibition The Art of Surfacing, the
element of water becomes a central metaphor for ecological
crises, transformation, and collective resistance.

Susanne Wenger (1915–2009), born in Graz,
was a key Austrian artist of the post-war period and an early
figure connected to Surrealism. Her work combines sculpture,
painting, and drawing with spirituality and Yorùbá mythology,
reflecting the decades she spent living and working in Nigeria.

If you’re curious to experience the works yourself, you can visit
the exhibitions till 19.04.2026 at HALLE FÜR KUNST
Steiermark — admission is free.
