INTERSPACE


Group show at Galeria WY

Opening times: January 12 – 19, 2024
Więckowskiego 38, Łódź, Poland

We invite you to join us as we open Interspace – an exhibition that aims to explore the progression of mediums in contemporary art, from the formal and material to the conceptual and ephemeral. The exhibition’s main focus is on the transition that appears while going from one state to another. Through non-verbal dialogue, Interspace, erases the border between digital and traditional forms of art and takes into consideration the transgressive experience as a critical form of response to the world of supermodernity.

PARALLEL VIENNA 2023


Exhibition by a collective of several generations of the Vienna Class for Transmedia Art

Vernissage: 5 September 2023
Opening times: 5–10 September 2023
Otto Wagner Areal - Baumgartner Höhe 1, 1140 Vienna
Pavillion 16, Room 20

A collective of several generations of the Vienna Class for Transmedia Art (Jakob Lena Knebl, formerly Brigitte Kowanz). What does transmediality mean? In the best case, this concept guarantees the greatest possible freedom beyond the rigid boundaries of media, genres or disciplines. The claim to transmediality implies that forms of mediation come into view in all their diversity and interweaving. For this, it is essential to grasp each medium in the spectrum and history of its identity. Through such a practice - precise analyses instead of "anything goes" - the best forms of expression and translations for the respective contents can be developed.

The interdisciplinary artist positions are define in a dialogue between diverse media: installation, painting, digital/video work and sculpture.

FIGURES OF IMAGINATION
TRANS...


Group show at GEORG KARGL PERMANENT
curated by SHE SAID

Vernissage: November 11, 6:00 – 8:00 PM
Opening times: November 12 – 27, 2022
Schleifmühlgasse 17, 1040 Vienna

The Vienna November fog is inert, opaque and blurs contrasts and contours. Among the different sensory impressions of a situation, the brain can filter the ones it considers most important at that moment.  These impressions become the foreground, the "figure", and can thus be made visible. Figure means at the same time structure, gestalt, appearance or condition and can also be described by the fact that it becomes visible or tangible or differentiated from something else.

The question of which emotions, thoughts and work processes are given form and how the inner experience of this can be made visible and shaped is a unifying moment of the works in "Figures of Imagination. TRANS...".

WISHLIST


Group show hosted by Okay Works
curated by Sophie Halder

Opening times: August 4 – August 20, 2022
Zirkusgasse 38, 1020 Vienna

Wishlists are intimate and personal collections of thoughts and desires. If shared, one reveals him- or herself but by doing so allows for the wishes to come true.The works shown may or may not depict the artists desires as much as it may be merely an observation by the viewer. The lines between fact and fiction blur. Personal story and emotional state turn observations into wishes and vice versa, revealing most secret desires.

ANTI–ANTI–ANTI: de-visibility, unbiased biases and friends


Group show at Angewandte Festival, Vienna
curated by Mauricio Ianes de Moraes

Opening hours: June 28 – July 1, 2022
Every day from 11:00 am till 9:00 pm

The large-scale, biased manipulation of public opinion by the media and social networks has reached a new level of international visibility. Yet awareness of this manipulation has not diminished its success. It has fed on widespread dissatisfaction and on a loop of biased oppositional attitudes. Fragmentation, agitation against exploited and oppressed groups, conspiracy theories, and lies have become part of our everyday lives. Inversely, these oppressed groups have implemented cultural strategies of darkness and opaqueness as a tool to counter hegemonic propaganda and populism.

“Search for Your People” (“Ищи Своих”) is a name of a Telegram channel containing photos of killed and captured Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine. The image of a torn apart soldier was found in that Telegram group and was then transformed into a massive puzzle with the dimensions of 15 m x 18 m. During a 5 hour performance, the puzzle was put together by the artists and passers-by, and then swept back together and burnt outside.

A SHOP IS A SHOP IS A SHOPbeta. Conceptual store


Group show at Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna
curated by Klaus Speidel

1 – 13 February 2022

For ten days in February, Kunsthalle Wien’s entrance hall, which is now an exhibition space, will once again become a shop where young, well-trained vendors will help you find what you hadn’t been looking for. Rediscover the pleasure of shopping, style and lifestyle, upcycling, value creation in the experience economy and negotiations around enriched goods. As “retail stores are once again becoming a central place for community”, the encounters you make will be as important as the things you (do not) buy.
