For my recent show in the Tyrolean capital Innsbruck I married interior design with work-life balance with art. The blend was called “Einrichtungsberatung” – essentially a system of interior design and visual arts theory and therapy.
The installation, at Schauraum für zeitgenössische Kunst und Design, assembled work related elements – like the filing cabinet “Ordnungshalber” – and stuff for having fun – like the video work “The influence of alcoholic drinks on the social intercourse of the intelligentsija” (a piano-inspired TV-rack, a 56′ film, TV and DVD) – to an out-of-this-world living room.
Although I resisted to bring some of my paintings, the mansion was fully equipped with distinctive Lapschina-isms.
It apparently arrived from outer space. “Destination reached,” a monitor is breathing monotonously. It’s unclear if the message ever will be decoded.
A new piece – actually a three-channel video installation with sound.

The Walloon capital Namur plays host to my solo show “Before I Start II”. Given the extraordinary location – it’s at the Central Station – I decided to make a monolithic installation which responds to the 24/7 opening hours.
The MUTE – Museo Municipal Tecleño – is currently presenting my very new video installation “Get Fit With Dr. Lapschina”. I had the chance to transform three halls into a parade ground (or a gym, depending on your point of view). Visitors are bewitched by the possibility to grab simple tools or fancy stuff and reenact in realtime what they are seeing on the screen.
Meant as a comment on the zeitgeist, the videos discuss public health and literacy, gadgets and glamour.
The series, which has significantly enlarged since a first preview at Zorzini Contemporary in 2012, currently consists of seven channels. Requirements for showing: a silent projector or a big plasma TV, good stereo speakers and a subwoofer.
On the occasion of the inauguration of their new space on Bankers Hill, I left the drawing “2 p.m.” on the walls of Helmuth Projects in San Diego, California. The work examines aspects of eternity. It is modest 4.75 meters tall.
