7 Todsünden

Pride, greed, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, sloth. What influence do these moral concepts have on our actions today? In all cultures and religions, standards and laws are formulated to regulate coexistence and set limits on human behavior. In the Bible, these are the Ten Commandments, which were supplemented in the Middle Ages by the seven deadly sins of Christianity. Their interpretation and the severity of punishments have continuously adapted to societal conditions. The Kunsthalle Krems has invited thirteen international artists to comment on the seven deadly sins with contemporary artworks. Additionally, seven authors wrote texts on each of the sins. Artists: Julia Belova, Christa Biedermann, Adam Dallos, Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg, Rob Frogoso, Ev van Hettmer, Teresa Margolles, Jonathan Meese, Herta Müller, Ulrike Ottinger, Dan Perjovschi, Nedko Solakov. Authors: Juri Andruchowytsch, Noemi Kiss, Ana Marwan, Verena Stauffer, Michael Stavaric, Katharina Tiwald, Alexander Urosevic.
