Since 2009, the Spoerri Exhibition Centre has been demonstrating to an ever-growing audience that Daniel Spoerri invented far more than the »snare picture», with which his career as a visual artist began in 1959.
Following Daniel Spoerri's sudden death last year, it was decided that a pure Spoerri exhibition with works from as many creative phases as possible should be organised for the 2025 season.
It is intended to offer visitors an opportunity to encounter this great artist on a personal level and fully immerse themselves in his work. The premises of the Hadersdorf Museum allow such access, as the character of a private environment has been preserved.
In addition to early works from private and museum collections, assemblages from various series and creative phases that have not yet been shown in the exhibition centre will be on display. These include the »Cinnamon Magic Preserves«, to which the exhibition owes its title. They mark a turning point in Spoerri's oeuvre from the »snare pictures« to free assemblages of simple everyday objects and found objects: shoes, a piece of rope, bones, horns, pieces of iron...
The beautiful term »cinnamon magic« contains much of what Daniel Spoerri was known for: linguistic wit, scepticism, enigma.
