Secession Podcast: Members is a series of conversations featuring members of the Secession. This episode is a conversation between the member Marianne in conversation with the members Christine and Irene Hohenbüchler. It was recorded on December 11, 2023. Marianne Maderna (b. 1944) lives and works in Vienna and Lower Austria. Her interdisciplinary installations, environments, and performances grapple with socially relevant concerns that address the human condition and devise novel ways to frame patterns of human behavior and hierarchical systems. Her work has been featured in exhibitions including RADICAL BUSTS, Arkadenhof, University of Vienna (2015); HUMANIMALS, Zeitkunst NÖ, Dominikanerkirche Krems (2013); Das erste Haus, Architekturzentrum Wien, Vienna (1996); Raum und Ausgang, Secession, Vienna (1990–91); and Maderna, Secession, Vienna (1982). She was awarded the Grand Decoration of Honor for Services to the State of Lower Austria in 2018; the Prize of the City of Vienna for Sculpture in 1996; and the Honorary Award for Visual Arts of the State of Lower Austria in 1991. Christine and Irene Hohenbüchler live in Eichgraben near Vienna. They have been partners in life and art since 1990; the idea of “multiple authorship” plays a central role in their work. In the 1990s, they primarily worked with socially marginalized groups: prisoners, people with mental illnesses, and individuals with additional needs. Their creative practice subsequently shifted toward collaborations with children and school and university students. In addition to these group works, they have made art engaging with its historical, social, and political context and produced participatory projects that underscore the visitors' or users' active involvement in creative processes. Large-format drawings have flanked their work throughout the years. Christine has been professor of drawing and visual languages at the Institute of Art and Design in TU Wien's Faculty of Architecture and Planning since 2002. Irene has led the class in cooperative strategies at the University of Fine Arts Münster since 2011. The Dorotheum is the exclusive sponsor of the Secession Podcast.

This month, Money on the Left is joined by Thomas Schwab who, as mayor of Gramatneusiedl in Lower Austria, oversees a promising Job Guarantee pilot program. Seeking to eliminate long-term unemployment, the program guarantees public jobs to anyone in the community who seeks them. In our conversation, we explore the philosophy and structure of Gramatneusiedl's municipal employment service. We also discuss a key inspiration for the program: a Depression-era study of the effects of unemployment conducted in the same region as Gramatneusiedl. Titled “Die Arbeitslosen von Marienthal” (or, “The Unemployed of Marienthal”), the report detailed the deleterious effects of systemic unemployment in wake of a severe economic downturn and soon became an early classic of European sociology. Decades later, Schwab wrote a master's thesis about the report, aiming to revive its findings in defense of public employment today. The Gramatneusiedl program is presently being studied by Jörg Flecker, a sociologist at the University of Vienna, as well as Lukas Lehner and Maximilian Kasy, economists at Oxford. The pilot is set to expire in 2024. Thereafter, however, Schwab and his allies anticipate leveraging current academic studies to renew and potentially scale up Gramatneusiedl's public employment program.

OSKA - "Starstruck" from the 2022 album My world, My love, Paris on Nettwerk Music Group. Though paying tribute to the City of Lights on her debut album My world, My love, Paris, singer/songwriter OSKA (real name: Maria Burger) was born in a small village in Lower Austria, the youngest of eight kids. She moved to Vienna at the age of 18 to study music, busking on the streets, and sharing her debut EP, Honeymoon Phase, in 2020. The five-song release won her the XA Music Export Award at Waves Vienna Festival 2020. Conceived near the beginning of the pandemic, OSKA envisioned the story of a couple "who board a boat as the world comes to an end" as the theme for her eagerly-anticipated first full-length. She cites her inspiration as the Edith Piaf song "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" (which translates to “No, I do not regret anything”). Today's Song of the Day has a particular cinematic influence. "This song was inspired by one of my favorite movies, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," she shared in a press release. “It's about celebrating someone great that is in your life while also dealing with the fear of losing them.” This week's Songs of the Day were selected by KEXP DJ Kevin Cole, host of Drive Time, showcasing artists playing at this year's ESNS (Eurosonic Noorderslag) Festival. ESNS is a European new music showcase festival and conference committed to presenting and supporting the best new and emerging artists. This year's festival will take place January 18-21, 2023 in Groningen, NL.

How can a city have a winery and top it all an outstanding one? Well this time, I sat down with Peter Mandl from the winery Stadt Krems from the Kremstal region in Lower Austria. Stadt means city in German, so this winery word for word bears the name of this artistic town on the shore of the River Danube, just on the edge of the Wachau region. In this episode, you can hear vintage recommendations from the area, learn about the steepest and most cherished cultivated vineyards in Krems and how do they taste like, and of course, how does a quite small city manage to administer such a top-notch winery that the entire city can be proud of.

Elena Roch won first place in the women's division of the Race Around Niederösterreich (RAN) in 2020 with a time of 22h 36m. The beautiful 600km, or roughly 373 mile, course took racers through Lower Austria, one of the 9 states of Austria, climbing 6,000 meters or almost 20,000 ft. Elena had not planned to ride RAN as her first ultra race ever, but after watching the Race Around Austria (RAA), she fell in love with the atmosphere and decided to spontaneously try to simply finish RAN. Elena has also completed the Ötztaler Radmarathon in 2018 and 2019 - its 230km with 5,000m of climbing (143 mi and 16,404 ft). Let's roll!

The Wine Thieves begin their cruise along the Danube exploring Neiderösterreich (Lower Austria), pausing to marvel at the magnificent, steeply terraced vineyards of the Wachau, the variegated side valleys of the Kremstal, Kamptal and the Traisental, with a pampered pitstop in Langenlois before next week's hike into the Weinviertel. Sara loses John briefly to a reverie on loess, whose thick strata are the origins for the world's greatest grüner veltliner, but brings him back in time for a conversation with Michael Moosbrugger, thoughtful winemaker and estate manager of historic Schloss Gobelsburg in the Kamptal, celebrating 850 harvests this year. He's also the president of the ÖTW (Österreichische Traditionsweingüter), and speaks to us about the ongoing development of the Erste Lagen - "1er cru" - classification and the 30 years of study and research and tastings it will take to realize the  project. Our conversation gets Cistercian again as we delve into pre-industrialized winegrowing, the importance of terroir over grape variety, and how history continues to define us. So, settle in with a gneiss glass of riesling, grüner veltliner or sankt laurent and join us for part one of our winding journey through the Danube Valley. 

"Art and culture touches not only our intellect but also our souls and our hearts" This episode, which is the second part of "EU to your home", will focus on European integration politics.

The Race Around Lower Austria (or Niederösterreich as it's called) provides competitive ultra cyclists and their crews with a world class race experience starting in the historic town of Weitra, everything from a fast course through the four quadrants of Lower Austria to fierce competition with elite racers like Christoph Strasser and Philipp Kaider who we had as guest on the show in episode 23. Uniquely to this high-quality event, while just finishing it's second edition in 2020, has been a pioneer for ultra cycling by live streaming the entire 600 km race (around 372 miles) with professional commentators, world-renowned cycling guests, and live interviews on the road with crews and racers.

On today's episode Ute talks with Daniela Vadehra, endurance rider, horse breeder and entrepreneur. Daniela's love for horses goes back to her childhood and when she received an Anglo-Arabian stallion as wedding gift, she decided to breed with him. Today she is a successful rider and breeder and lives with her family on a farm in Lower Austria close to Vienna. When her son developed a lactose intolerance she set out on a journey learning all about nutrition, microorganisms and fermentation and started experimenting. This was the beginning of her company Calapo which she built up from scratch, manufacturing fermented food supplements for humans, horses, dogs and cats. And she is still full of plans and enthusiasm for the future.

Wachau in Austria is one of those places that should be on everyones bucket list to visit. I've not been there but it truly looks stunningly beautiful. Domäne Wachau makes wine that should  be on everyones bucket list - to taste.       I have been there! The vineyards of Wachau lie on the banks of the Danube in Lower Austria slightly NE of Vienna. The Wachau is a 33 km long gorge listed as a Unesco Cultural Landscape. Within this the slopes, aspect and soils of the valley provide a unique setting for vines to flourish. To cap it all the vineyards owned and managed by Domäne Wachau have been awarded the extraordinary title of 'Best Vineyards in Europe' and 'Third Best in the World'!   Of course great vineyards don't naturally make great wine - they only have a potential whose release is crystalised by fabulous winemaking. This podcast explores how this is achieved with one of the great Master of Wine winemakers - Roman Horvath.   Domäne Wachau epitomises the symbiotic nature of culture and landscape where dry stone walled terraces are as much part of the wine as the Reisling, Gruner Veltliner, Zweigelt vines are. Unique geology from exquisite slopes. Stunningly beautiful wines.     Domäne Wachau is distributed across Ireland by Cassidy Wines. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While all restaurants in Ireland were closed until recently many have now reopened. This is great news - Open Again! We should remember that many of these, including the wonderful Monty's of Kathmandu, are family businesses. They are often small and brilliant and need our support more than ever. Keep Safe and Keep well.  Kevin Ecock's WinePod is brought to us with the assistance of the Santa Rita Wine Room at Monty's of Kathmandu - an excellent place to host your next event or celebration.

In the final episode of our mini-series, What Is Architecture?, we look into a piece of Architecture that sparked the creation of a nation! Kugelmugel is a micronation located at the Prater in Vienna, Austria. The Republic declared independence in 1976, after disputes between artist Edwin Lipburger and Austrian authorities over building permits for a ball-shaped house which he erected in Katzelsdorf, Lower Austria in 1971. This podcast episode can also be viewed on Youtube, where we include plenty of visuals to accompany the story of this incredible ball home.

Chrissi Schranz: Hi Melissa. Melissa Breau: To just start us out, can you remind listeners just a little bit about who the dogs are that you share your life with? And I think you have a new addition, don't you? Chrissi Schranz: Yes, I do, so there are four. Fantasy, my oldest, is my greyhound. His main job is to hold down the couch and get all the old dog benefits. And then there's Phoebe, my poodle. She's always happy and cheerful and up for anything. My favorite thing for her is training tricks and taking her on hikes and also taking her to all kinds of places. She can go to restaurants, and she's just good wherever you take her. She just fits in. Then there's Grit, my young Malinois. With her, I've been working on tracking and on obedience foundation. Maybe we'll get our TEAM 1 sometime soon. That would be nice. I also hope that sometime this year we'll do our BH. That's the first trial for obedience sports, for FCI sports. And my new addition, that's Game. She's also a Malinois, almost 6 months old now, and in pretty much all respects she's still a puppy. Lots of puppy brain and puppy behaviors and puppy-ness. Melissa Breau: I can't believe she's already 6 months. It feels like not long ago you brought her home. Let's start by talking about her a little bit. What kinds of foundation stuff have you been working on with her? I know you shared some awesome videos on Facebook, and for our listeners, we're going to put those in the show notes for you guys because Chrissi shared the YouTube links with me. Do you want to just talk about those a little bit? Chrissi Schranz: Yeah. So in general I think you can train skills later in a dog's life, but you really need to put a strong foundation of confidence and relationship on them as early as possible, because the younger they are, the more moldable they still are, and the more open they are to new experiences. So I usually take puppies out into the world, introduce them to people and dogs and places and smells and sounds. It has been really interesting working with Game because she's so different from Grit. Grit is very handler focused and Game is very environmentally focused, also extremely confident and very social too. So when I take her out, I try to not let her directly meet people and dogs because she already thinks people and dogs are awesome, so she doesn't really need more of that. We mainly work on being OK just sharing space with people and dogs without always approaching and playing with everyone. So usually I give her time to acclimate, and then I transition into playing with her, sometimes without any food or any toys, sometimes just food, sometimes toys. I talk about that more in the videos you mentioned. Melissa Breau: I think it was cool to watch some of the stuff and how you handled some of when she got distracted or what happened. It was really interesting to see all that. You've mentioned that Game and Grit are pretty different. Do you want to talk a little more about what you mean by that and how it has influenced your training? Chrissi Schranz: Grit is really handler focused, so it was pretty easy to get her to focus on me in any environment. We didn't really have to work on it. She just offered that, even as a puppy. Game, on the other hand, is super-environmental. She thinks the world is fun, smells are fun, sounds are fun, people are fun. She needs to check it all out. I haven't had an environmental dog since Snoopy, my dachshund, and he was the most difficult dog I've ever trained. He was so independent. So I'm really glad that I know more now than I did then. With Game, I was confident that if I just gave her time to check out the environment, then always would come the moment when she would push me to interact with her. In the beginning, when I took her interesting places, she didn't show a lot of interest in me, and I just accepted that because I don't think it's possible to make yourself more interesting than the environment anyway. I worked on our relationship at home. I could actually see how her interest in playing with me increased every time we went out into the real world. I think in hindsight it really was the best approach I could have taken for her. She'll now happily engage with me soon when we're entering new space, and it's always her choice and not my request, which I really like. I like it to be that way. But I'm pretty sure her environmental interests will come back when she hits adolescence, so this will be very interesting. Melissa Breau: As somebody who has a young dog and is working on foundation stuff, what do you feel is the most important skill — or skills, if you want to dive into more than one — to really focus on or teach a new dog? Chrissi Schranz: I think it really depends on the owner and their goals for themselves and their dog. For me, I really want a strong relationship. I find that more important than anything else. In order to get that, I start with lots of playing and being together, and doing things together that the dog enjoys. I want the dog to know that they can trust me and feel safe with me. Also I want off-leash reliability because I really love hiking. Everything else is secondary to this foundation. Melissa Breau: Part of, I'm guessing, that off-leash reliability is recalls, and since you teach a class on it, and have a book coming out on it, do you want to just tell us a little bit about the book, when it will be out, where it will be available? Chrissi Schranz: Yes. The book is in German, unfortunately, so I'm afraid many of you won't be able to read it, but it will be out this fall. The publisher is Kynos, and it should be available on Amazon. It's a workbook, so it has lots of free space to take notes, and tables and checklists that the reader can fill in. I want it to be a fun book that you can take places, and it will give you a clear training plan on one hand, and it helps you keep track of your progress on the other hand. Melissa Breau: Your syllabus, to shift gears and talk about your class a little bit, mentions establishing a radius. You mentioned earlier off-leash reliability. I think that's maybe not something I've thought about before with recall training, the idea of establishing a space. What do you mean by that? Can you talk us through it a little bit? Chrissi Schranz: When you walk your dog off leash, you probably don't want him to run more than maybe 40 feet away from you, so that's the radius you want him to keep. With radius training we teach an awareness of this distance where the dogs learn that fun things happen 40 feet from us and closer to us. There's various elements to this. One of them is that we play all kinds of games within that radius. Another one is that we change directions when they step out of the radius. So basically the way they were just headed sniffing, that ends if they go further away than the radius we want them to have. Melissa Breau: You also mentioned the idea of auto check-ins. Do you want to talk a little bit about what those are and how they help with recall training? Chrissi Schranz: That's one of those things that I want to happen within the radius. When I casually walk my dog and she looks at me unprompted, that's an auto check-in. The more often you capture that — for example, with a click — the more often it will happen. It's part of what I call shifting the responsibility to the dog, because I want the dog to think it's her job to make sure not to lose her off-leash human and not the other way around. It's more relaxing for the human if the dog makes sure not to lose you than if you constantly have to make sure not to lose your dog. Melissa Breau: Right. I think a lot of people probably would love it if they could trust their dog not to lose them. One of the common analogies out there that people talk about when they talk about recall training is the concept of this piggy bank. You've got to put a lot of money in before you can make a withdrawal out. I have no idea where that concept or that analogy came from, but I was hoping you could explain a little bit about how that works and what that concept means. Chrissi Schranz: I don't know where it comes from either, but I also like the image. For me, it means that I always try to follow a recall up with good things. If you keep calling your dog and then ending the off-leash fun, she'll learn that she better shouldn't come. So every time I call and then pay her well or let her run off again, I put money in the piggy bank, and every time I call and put her on a leash or end the play date, I'm making a withdrawal. I feel that you want to have as little withdrawals as possible. Melissa Breau: Part, I think, of what most people struggle with, they can get the recall in the house, they can get the recall maybe in the yard when there's a low level of distraction, and maybe they get it 100 percent of the time awesome. So the first time they face something hard to recall their dog off of, they're shocked, amazed, terrified, horrified, whatever word you want to choose, when the dog doesn't come. The problem there is they struggle with generally adding distractions in training and actually thoroughly proofing the behavior. Since recalls are often most important when distractions are their highest, proofing is perhaps even more important with this particular skill than with most of the things we teach. So I wanted to ask you a little bit about how listeners can do it the right way. Chrissi Schranz: I think you already touched on the most important part: proofing. Many people just forget about that part when it comes to real-life behaviors. They remember to proof sports behaviors and competition behaviors, but somehow just expect the recall to work in real life after training it in the house or in the training building. But of course it doesn't because it's a very different environment. There are always sudden distractions. So ideally you think of it just as you think of any other behavior. You train it in an easy environment first — for example, your house, or a training building, or your yard — and then you don't just skip a few steps and ask your dog to recall off a dear; you gradually build to this environment, and gradually introduce distractions. For example, you can work with a low-value food distraction in your own house, and then a slightly higher-value food distraction, and so on. Melissa Breau: Kind of building complexity at home before you take it out. Chrissi Schranz: Yes, exactly. Melissa Breau: Is it realistic to believe that every dog can have a strong recall cue, or are there some dogs that simply are always going to struggle with it? Chrissi Schranz: I think some dogs will always struggle, and I'm sure some people disagree, but while training is important, it's only part of the picture. There's breed tendencies and individual temperaments, and those are also really important factors. For example, a dog who's genetically wired to work independently of humans, and a dog who has a strong prey drive, that's a dog that will be much harder to train when it comes to a recall for off-leash hiking, for example, than a handler-focused dog with a high will to please and no prey drive whatsoever. Melissa Breau: Right. What do you do with those dogs that maybe don't have a lot of built-in interest for reinforcers? How do you handle that? Chrissi Schranz: That's a great question. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I'm actually developing a class on building reinforcers. I think we usually assume that a reinforcer is a thing that the dog wants, and that we just need to have the thing and give it to the dog, and we can reward the behavior anywhere, anytime. But very often it just doesn't work that way. For example, some dogs only take treats at home, or they're only interested in toys in certain contexts. For example, you can't reward a recall with something the dog doesn't want when he's out. It doesn't matter how much he likes that same thing at home. So I think it's really useful if we try to see reinforcers as behaviors rather than things. So instead of food, we have the act of eating, and instead of a tennis ball, we have the act of playing fetch, and so on. If you think of a reinforcer as a behavior, all of a sudden it's pretty clear that reinforcers can be trained and generalized just like any other behavior. We actually shouldn't expect them to work anywhere and everywhere without building them and generalizing them and working on them. Melissa Breau: Since you're working on a class on that concept, any thoughts when we might see it on the schedule, or anything else you want to get into about what it's going to cover? Chrissi Schranz: I'm not sure, but it will probably be on the schedule in June, and we'll go into all kinds of reinforcers, including the ones we don't typically think of. For example, there'll be lectures and games about environmental rewards, like chasing squirrels or chasing birds, and we'll talk about things that are genetically reinforcing, like, for example, herding might be for a Border Collie.
