FOCUS IN JULY: 50 YEARS SINCE THE MOON LANDING

"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.". Neil Armstrong's words mark the biggest adventure of mankind to date. On 20 July 1969, at 03:56 hrs CET, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first terrestrials to step on the Moon as part of the NASA Apollo 11 mission. To this day it is the only celestial body on which a human has stood.

ANDREA BUCK & FRITZ FRANZ VOGEL: LEONARDO LUNATIC
Arnulf Rainer Museum. Talk. German. Free entry

 

While the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing is being celebrated and it is also 500 years since the death of Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), Andrea Buck & Fritz Franz Vogel have already spotted the man in the Moon: it is Leonardo himself. His reflections on the Moon, as well a his universal interest in painting, technology, botany and astronomy, inspired the two Swiss artists to visit him with their satellites on the Moon. Not least to explore what would have happened if Leonardo had invented the camera. Would he have turned into an early Helmut Newton or even David LaChapelle…?

DENIS PELLERIN, HERMINE RAAB:
BRIAN MAY’S MOON LANDING IN 3D"

 

Arnulf Rainer Museum. Talk. English, German. Free entry.

 

 
Brian May discovered his passion for stereo photography even before his love for the guitar made him lead guitarist of Queen and world-famous. Later he founded The London Stereoscopic Company, curated by Denis Pellerin. In memory of the first Moon landing, Dr May – he also studied astrophysics – and Pellerin transformed the ‘flat’ pictures of the Moon landing into 3D photographs. In this way they give us the Moon landing, 50 years later, in a stereoscopic view. Hermine Raab, President of the 3D Club Austria, supports their project.

WERNER GRUBER: WERE WE ON THE MOON – OR WEREN’T WE?
Arnulf Rainer Museum. Talk. German. Free entry.

 

Physicist and former Science Buster Werner Gruber can not only stand up professionally to any conspiracy theory around the Moon landing, he will also explain why everything is the way it was. ‘Inconsistencies’ quoted include: multiple shadows in different directions – caused by spotlights on Earth? The US flag waving even though there is no wind on the Moon. And near the lunar lander one can see footprints of the astronauts, which the engine of the lander should have blown away during the landing. There is no trace of a deceleration crater or of the acceleration propulsion on lifting. In any case, the NASA in the 1960s would not have been technically advanced enough to fly to the Moon...

FOCUS IN AUGUST:

 

50 YEARS SINCE WOODSTOCK | 180 YEARS OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Friday 16 August 19:00
PETER BITZER / LAIF: 3 DAYS OF PEACE AND MUSIC – 50 JAHRE WOODSTOCK
Arnulf Rainer Museum. Talk. German. Free entry.

 

With the help of exclusive photographs from the Woodstock Museum in Bethel, Peter Bitzer shows us how a perfectly normal commercial festival turned into a myth, mystified to this day, of a peace-loving, artistic and ‘other’ America. The festival took place from 15 to 18 August 1969 on the farm of cattle rancher Max Yasgur in White Lake, near the small town of Bethel, around 70 kilometres south-west of Woodstock, the place that lent the festival its name. 32 bands and solo artists performed in front of an estimated 400 000 visitors. The event was plagued by bad weather, which created catastrophic conditions in some places. Despite these drawbacks, Woodstock has become a singular icon of rock music.
