Sad news today:

Vienna - One motorist was killed and 37 other persons injured in a mass pile-up on the Vienna-Salzburg motorway amid heavy snowfalls on Tuesday, police officials said. The accident took place on the stretch between Seewalch and St. Georgen on a highway covered in ice from a winter storm which struck the European continent.

The person killed was a woman from Switzerland who was hurled from her car in the collision and then run over by a lorry, officials said.

The autobahn, or motorway, was closed in both directions as rescue efforts involving dozens of ambulances and helicopters got underway. The efforts were hampered by ongoing heavy snowfall and poor visibility.

Officials also revised downwards the numbers of injured and the vehicles involved once they had a better assessment of the scene where dozens of cars had smashed into and piled atop each other in a scene of chaos.

Initial reports had spoken of at least 60 injured and upwards of 100 cars.

Police cited not only the slippery road conditions and poor visibility, but also blamed motorists for driving too fast, as factors in the mass collision.

Meanhwile, parts of Austria have been hit by harsh winter again. Meteorological services in Tyrol warned of "deep wintry conditions" and the danger of avalanches has increased dramatically in the Austrian Alps.

At least 20 centimetres of new snow were measured in west and north Tyrol and up to a half metre of snowfall was expected by Tuesday evening. The latest snowfall has led to mass traffic delays on several roads.

Five centimetres of snow fell in valleys across Salzburg state and up to 30 centimetres have been forecast for Wednesday.

The avalanche warning service has raised the risk of avalanches to "high" in areas where they have been particularly heavy falls of new snow namely in Silvretta, Arlberg/Ausserfern, the Northern Alps and the Kitzbuehler Alpen. The Salzburger Land region was also in danger of avalanches.

Avalanches were to be expected because of the weight of the new snow.

thanks for sharing, I can't wait to be there again!

Thank you, the handsome, have a look at the strange mechanical device on the table.

The Snow Show - a singular cultural project
Absolute Zero: A Lighthouse of
Temporality, 2003
"It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome, with caves of ice!"

So wrote Coleridge of Kubla Khan's unconventional edifice, when was it, sometime in the 18th century. What follows here may not live up to the poem's menace and mystique but read on anyway.

The Snow Show does at least promise to be a remarkable cultural event that will bring together internationally recognized artists and architects to design collaborative installations using snow and ice as their primary materials.

In the winter of 2004 these designs will be translated into an outdoor exhibition presenting fifteen unique constructions of significant scale and beauty. The spectacle will be staged jointly in the towns of Kemi and Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland, the country's most northerly province.

The curators of the Snow Show, and the main minds behind it, are New York independent curator Lance Fung together with the director of the Rovaniemi Art Museum Hilkka Liikkanen, both in cooperation with colleagues in Kemi and Rovaniemi. The exhibition will be open to the public from February 12 to March 31, 2004.

The philosophy
Speaking about the artistic principles that underpin the Snow Show, project coordinator Tuula Yrjölä explains that rarely do art and architecture have a chance to meet in an environment that does not favour either discipline. The Snow Show brings an eclectic group of artists and architects together, challenging them to work in a neutral, ephemeral material. The attraction for many of the distinguished participants in the project is in this collaborative premise. For others, it is the uncertainty and excitement of working with the natural element of water in its surprisingly varied frozen forms.
