Most of Rainer Ganahls works are language related, be it written, spoken or read. He uses methods of reading (alone and in groups), massive text production, is integrating text in his works, or collageing it together with graphical elements. From the perspective of being born in Austria and living in the US, he deals with the more or less classical leftist topics, e.g. Karl Marx, Lenin & Stalinism, the Iraq War. Currently he learns Arabic and Chinese. He runs a set of websites, that integrate neatly with his work, represent it and transform it, so it makes sense to take a tour and visit them. www.ganahl.info, www.dadalenin.com, www.useabicycle.com, www.ganahlmarx.com, www.properteaistheft.info, www.perpetualmotionfood.com, www.pleaseteachmechinese.com
