Adelheid (2016)
Sculpture – Pewter
Adelheid is a cooperation between Korinna Lindinger and Julia Rosenberger, both part of the female art collective maschen.
Pewter figures usually show historical idealised persons or groups of persons. In play, children acquired these roles and their place in society. The tiny sculptures of play and display have been darstel mainly depictions of male honour. Female representations are more rarely found. For the sculpture Adelheid, Lindinger and Rosenberger searched various archives and collected tin women. The found objects show ladies of courtly society at dance and representation next to servants and peasant women at their daily work. Also pornographic postures and mothers with their children are found. All of them women serving or pleasing others. These glorified images were melted into a grotesque figure called Adelheid, a name of old high german origin, translating into "one of noble character".

Wild (2017)
Artistic interventions – twitter, ceramics, arylic paint, glass, steel, plastics and textile
Salzburg is home to many other animals besides humans – including wild animals. Some of them, the indigenous ones, have already spent the last ice age here. Others immigrated and adopted to the area later. Humankind, her transport routes, borders, economic and agricultural interests, as well as conservation policies, are changing wildlife habitats. Korinna Lindinger and Karla Spiluttini conducted interviews with biologists, ecologists, hunters and foresters to understand routes, stories and regulations of wildlife migration along the GermanAustrian border in Salzburg. In five cross-media interventions the art project places utopian perspectives into tamed wilderness, speculating on animal strategies to find their ways in an anthropocentric environment. Wild is a cooperation between Korinna Lindinger and Karla Spiluttini, together forming the female art collective kaquadrat.
