the MAMUZ Museum Mistelbach is dedicating an exhibition to the beginnings of modern man in Central Europe in the Ice Age epoch (2.8 million to 11,700 BC) when Homo sapiens travelled through the vast steppe landscape as Ice Age nomads which was curated by a team from the Austrian Archaeological Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences an Ice Age camp and a diverse animal world which together provide deep insights into the lives of these resourceful hunters and gatherers a life-size mammoth and a varied puzzle booklet make the exhibition an experience for young visitors too Our ancestors moved from one campsite to the next following the herds of animals and eating what nature offered them They camped by the fire and found shelter in tents Parts of Europe were covered in glaciers and ice sheets and the average temperature on earth was around 6 degrees Celsius below today's level cyclically recurring climatic fluctuations These resulted in frequent changes to the environment to which the groups of hunter-gatherers had to react creatively in order to survive This can be seen in the finds of hunting tools as well as jewellery and cult objects such as the famous Venus statuettes Using around 300 impressive original objects and replicas the ICE AGE exhibition explains the living conditions from the early Upper Palaeolithic to the Mesolithic until people began to settle down with the arrival of the first farmers from the Middle East Some of the oldest finds include stone tools On display are artefacts from the Aurignacian period from Krems-Hundsberg The 27,000-year-old twins from Krems-Wachtberg were buried as newborns just a few weeks after each other Wrapped in red ochre with mammoth ivory beads and protected by a mammoth shoulder blade it gives an idea of the esteem in which the youngest members of society were held This find from Lower Austria is considered a sensation as there are only a few well-preserved remains of children from this period Only about one metre away from the twins' grave is the site where another baby This find is being shown to the public in its original form for the first time all three burials can be seen together for the first time An important archaeological site for the Epigravettian period is located in Kammern-Grubgraben bones and a large number of tools and projectile points this site provides a picture of how people lived around 22,500 years ago Of particular note is the only known flute found in Austria Unique in Lower Austria is the perforated stick found here which is considered a sign of expertise in the production of hunting weapons The perforated and carved pieces of antler were probably used to straighten spear shafts that had been heated in the fire making them more effective in the production of hunting weapons Many sewing needles with eyelets and bones from reindeer and horses suggest that these animals were hunted primarily to make clothing Around 30,000-year-old mammoth bones bear witness to the fact that mammoths were native to our latitudes skulls and molars that indicate the physical dimensions of such an animal It was not until spring 2024 that a Lower Austrian winegrower in Gobelsburg-Rossgraben found mammoth bones in his wine cellar The sensation was not long in coming: the remains of 3 to 4 mammoths as well as two flint artefacts and charcoal were unearthed These artefacts can also be seen for the first time in the ICE AGE exhibition The lives of our ancestors were characterised by constant movement They moved from one campsite to the next and developed strategies for killing They usually hunted in groups and used different methods with stones A life-size mammoth in the exhibition gives an idea of the skill required to conquer an animal of this size brown bears and mountain hares provide an overview of the hunting spectrum of humans and the diversity of animals many thousands of years ago Gathering is also considered an essential means of survival at this time people helped themselves to various fruits The widespread notion that only men hunted and women gathered cannot be substantiated Thanks to modern analyses of genetic material at archaeological sites much more is possible: it is assumed that modern humans retained their dark skin colour until long after the invention of agriculture and even had bright blue eyes in between He also did not tolerate milk and was lactose intolerant Children and their parents are invited to actively participate at a total of six stations Which animals were hunted and how was food cooked Did colours exist in the Ice Age and how were they made What do animal tracks and bone finds tell us What did a camp look like and what kind of dwellings did people live in And how long did it take to drill a hole in a bone flute dwellings and experimental archaeology are explored in a playful way An exciting puzzle booklet also guides you through the exhibition Press Images Astrid Pircher |

reality The artist detects their transformative potential as if with a divining rod landscapes emerge in ghostly monumentality while the people in the images and their fetishes are barely perceptible as spectres beneath the dragnet drawn over them Though his work may bring to mind Arnulf Rainer’s overpaintings and the aesthetic strategies of collage Strobl developed his style absent any references to art history His works are compelling not only for their diaristic nature but also for their consistent orientation from an internal perspective The curving black edges in each image resemble eye sockets gazing towards an enigmatically luminous sky when the overpainting rises like dark grey lava only a sinuous fragment of this sky remains This is the first time the work of Leopold Strobl is

Hermann Nitsch died at a hospital in the Austrian town of Mistelbach on Monday after a serious illness, his wife said.     Nitsch, born in Vienna on Aug. 29, 1938, was versatile - with performance art, painting, sculpting and composing among his activities. He was a co-founder of Viennese Actionism and best known for his Theater of Orgies and Mysteries, conceived as a visceral synthesis of the arts.  It peaked with a '6-day Play' in 1998, featuring more than 3,400 gallons of wine, hundreds of liters of blood, a kilogram of grapes and tomatoes, several animal carcasses and musical accompaniment. Nitsch was part of the 'Actionists', a radical 1960s avant-garde movement known for skinning animal carcasses, tying up human bodies and using blood, mud and urine in their works. His works and performances drew plenty of criticism.  In 1966, police in London were called to one of Nitsch's performances at a venue on Fleet Street after a dead lamb was disembowelled live on stage, prompting complaints from witnesses. And in 2017, Nitsch held a controversial live art show in Hobart Tasmania which featured a dead bull and its bloody entrails, along with performers who had been made to look as though they had been crucified.  After police were called to the event in London in 1966, Nitsch said in the Daily Mail: 'I am working with reality and not with illusions. 'There is no play, it is all really happening. 'The traumatic construction of the play is modelled on the laws of psychoanalysis.'    In his 2017 show in Tasmania, performers were seen hanging from crosses with blood dripping down their naked bodies.  One unimpressed witness said: 'Disgusting! Totally sick. It is a barbaric act, definitely not art.'  Protesters had attempted to have the show cancelled before it began, claiming that the bull had been slaughtered specifically for the event. In response to criticism that had dogged him throughout his career, Nitsch said in 2011: 'In my conceptions of being, there is everything, life, death, illness, pain, aggression... Through my work, I want to show all of this.' He added after further protests in 2015 that 'the meat I use is not eaten but used for a theater performance, a higher purpose.'  He told German news agency dpa before his 80th birthday that 'overcoming the revulsion barrier is a task of art.'  There are museums dedicated to Nitsch's work in Mistelbach in northeastern Austria and in Naples, Italy. Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen tweeted that Nitsch 'redefined' the Austrian art world. 'Austria is mourning a fascinating painter and an impressive person,' he said. 'His work will live on; I am certain of that.'

They are also preparing a psychiatric report. Mr Philipp said: 'It has to be clarified whether my client was sane or not due to his outer and inner tumours.'  Residents in the market town claim that the nobleman may have killed his brother in a dispute over family inheritance. Neighbours said that the once-wealthy Goëss family is in financial dire straits and has had to sell off property again and again. Father Johannes Ulrich von Goëss reportedly burdened his sons with the financial problems, which allegedly resulted in repeated fights between Count Tono and his brother Ernst over how to manage the family wine-making business. The Count is believed to have accumulated a huge amount of pent-up hatred towards his father, stemming from years of suppression.   Tono has described how much he suffered under his father's strong hand and local media report that he 'hated his father like the plague'.     A neighbour said: 'We can hardly believe it. Everyone thought that they had a lot of money and no problems, but it turned out that they have some financial issues.' But locals also said that Tono von Goëss was a friendly and helpful person who always behaved respectfully towards the townsfolk.  Investigators are now trying to recreate what played out in Bockfliess Castle in the final hours before the murders.  Count Tono was found to be online at 2.44am last Thursday, sharing a video on social media about a neurosurgeon dancing with his patients.  Less than twelve hours later, he would fire five deadly shots from his gun in the castle's office. He must have reloaded the weapon twice. The Austrian duke frequently used social media to discuss politics and had showed a recent interest in the yellow vests movement in France and vouched his support for Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz and the government's anti-immigration laws.    The Goëss family originates in Portugal, from where they moved via the Belgian region of Flanders to Austria in the 16th Century. In 1530, the Habsburg monarchy, which ruled across the region from 1415 to 1806, gave the Goëss family noble titles and land, which they have held ever since.  They have estates and castles all over Austria, with most properties found in the state of Carinthia where even an entire mountain is owned by the Goëss family. One prominent family member Johann Count Goëss was a close advisor to Emperor Leopold I (1658 – 1705).  Later, three more Counts Goëss became provincial governors of Carinthia.  Ulrich Goëss-Enzenberg was descended from Empress Maria-Theresia through his grandmother, Countess Marie of Meran.   Maria-Theresia reigned from 1740 to 1780 and was the last ruler of the House of Habsburg.  She was also the only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions -  Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Bohemia, Transylvania, Mantua, Milan, Lodomeria and Galicia, the Austrian Netherlands and Parma.    The family are renowned in Austrian high society and particularly appreciated for the production of their wine, the Manincor.    The family also participated in public life, often letting the castle out for concerts and other events for the community.
