Here’s a glimpse into the making of Andrea Ferrero’s site-specific installation “It portends something awful for us” (2026), created on site at Kunstraum Niederoesterreich. ⛲️
In our exhibition “Attitude Era”, we trace the connections between spectacle, power, and manipulation. For this, the artist Andrea Ferrero has gone back to the Middle Ages. For “Attitude Era”, Ferrero has recreated three gargoyles from the façade of St. Stephen’s Cathedral in precise detail. The material comes with a sweet twist: these sacred specters are not cast in stone, but in chocolate. Monsters made to melt. ✨ In her artistic practice, Ferrero examines the continuities and transformations of ideologies across time and space.
And you can, of course, see the result on site at Kunstraum Niederoesterreich until Sat, 25.07.2026 (and maybe even taste it). 🧡
The work by Andrea Ferrero was realized with the kind support of the Viennese confectionary specialist HEINDL
