Study Center
Generali Foundation Study Center
The Generali Foundation Study Center is conceived as a multifunctional research, reading and retreat space for art from classical modernism to the present day and is open to the public for free use. It combines the libraries of the Generali Foundation and the Museum der Moderne Salzburg with currently around 48.620 titles as well as archive, text and media collections. With the Mediathek, the Generali Foundation additionally makes available audiovisual works of art from the collection and other materials.
The reading and media lounge on the third floor of the Rupertinum provides access to the collections of the Museum der Moderne Salzburg and the Generali Foundation libraries. The seating area in the lounge consists of an inviting ensemble of furniture sculptures by artist Franz West, which he designed together with Marcus Geiger, Peter Kogler, and Heimo Zobernig. West himself said that his seating sculptures “only become art when you sit on them.”
The Generali Foundation library currently comprises around 16,760 monographs, exhibition catalogs, relevant specialized literature, and international art journals. The focus is on the artists in the collection and the exhibitions realized by the Generali Foundation since 1989.
It offers a broad overview of current art events since the 1960s, with a special focus on contemporary art, the thematic priorities of the collection, and art theories and discourses. The holdings are continuously being expanded. Current, important, and rare historical publications are acquired in a selective manner. We are in active exchange with internationally renowned art institutions and in contact with specialized bookstores and archives.
The media library offers access to around 500 film and video works from the Generali Foundation Collection, as well as documentations of lectures, discussions, and performances. Since its founding, the Generali Foundation has built up one of the most important collections of media art from the 1960s onwards. It includes many important Austrian and international positions. The focus is on media-reflective film and video art, political film, and feminist and performative video works. Almost the entire film oeuvre of VALIE EXPORT, Andrea Fraser, Harun Farocki, Gordon Matta-Clark, and Martha Rosler is available in the media library.
For each exhibition at the Generali Foundation Study Center, thematic accents are set in the reading and media lounge, curated by Stefanie Grünangerl. There are corresponding book recommendations, films, archive material, and program events.
