COLLECTIVE BATHING. PART OF THE LONG NIGHT OF THE MUSEUMS.
For the Upper Austrian designer Andreas Strauss "social bathing" is an everyday ritual beyond the current wellness boom: a loose gathering of family and friends in a relaxing and mutually respectful atmosphere. Strauss has nestled a wooden bathtub in the Kunstraum for the duration of the exhibition. His project "Hotpot" accords with the parasitic idea of temporarily re-coding defined areas. It is free for all to use in accordance with the bathing rules on certain days.
