Griebler | ReisenbauerJune 1 – 30, 2021 The newest gallery gugging Online Viewing Room, dedicated to the works of Heinrich Reisenbauer and Manuel Griebler, is live now at galeriegugging.com. In our current selection, there is an exciting clash between the works of Heinrich Reisenbauer, a renowned art brut classic with a unique formal language, and the works of Manuel Griebler, the newcomer of the hour, who has developed his own unique style in recent years.
Untitled, Manuel Griebler, 2020. Coloured pencils, 42 x 29.7 cm; Courtesy gallery gugging Gallery director Nina Katschnig puts it in a nutshell: “The aspect that unites our two artists is that they have a certain order and structure in their works. While Reisenbauer’s works are arranged in a very linear way and literally dance at the work, Griebler’s repetitions are structured and arranged in a more complex way. Thus, the two artists, who
are after all 53 years apart, complement each other in an exciting way.”

Walker Rock Garden, Seattle:
Outsider Environment DemolishedOn June 2, 2021, Walker Rock Garden in west Seattle was sadly knocked down as part of the city's development plans. An outsider-art masterpiece of stone, glass, and mortar, the most magical and astonishing “visionary landscape” north of Los Angeles’s Watts Towers, fell to the city’s development juggernaut and the hazards of family legacies.
"Seattle's Walker Rock Garden gets razed", by Eric Scigliano (2021) The Walker Rock garden was the fine madness of a truck driver-turned-Boeing rigger named Milton Walker, played out around the modest bungalow where he and his wife and constant collaborator, Florence Walker, lived for nearly 50 years.

KOHLER ART CNETER A stunning new building to store and exhibit Kohler’s collection
Seeing is believing – and to be able to peek behind the scenes and catch a glimpse not just of artworks from the John Michael Kohler Art Center’s (JMKAC) permanent collection that might be on view in temporary exhibitions but, instead, of the full range of its holdings in an array of different media and genres is to grasp just how ambitiously and discerningly this museum has amassed a trove of sculptures, paintings, and other objects over the last half-century since its founding in the late 1960s. With the imminent inauguration of the JMKAC’s new Art Preserve building, which will open on June 26, 2021, following a long delay caused by restrictions related to the coronavirus crisis, visitors will be able to do just that – examine up close the breadth of this unique
American museum’s extensive holdings. Read the full article in Raw Vision #107.
