Sophia SĂźssmilch at Akademie Graz

Feminismus oder Schlägerei
Sophia Süßmilch works primarily with performance, painting, photography, video and literature. Her extraordinary cosmos of images is an iconography of intensity, a stunningly imaginative world of bodies and transformations. With humour, poetry and beauty, she exposes the absurd power of patriarchal structures that only cause problems. Her artistic defence is nudity, statements condensed into striking images, a courageous, funny, ironic, in an appealing way free artistic creation that breaks things down and takes them to extremes.

Opening:
Thursday, 6 March 2025
7.00 pm

Exhibition duration:
07.03. – 04.04.2025

Esther Stocker at Haus Konstruktiv

The spatial intervention A Space for Thoughts by Esther Stocker (b. 1974 in Schlanders, IT, lives in Vienna, AT) exemplifies integration of the museum’s architecture into art. Using black adhesive tape and black-painted wooden slats, this artist has covered the walls, windows and floor of the large entrance hall with an orthogonal network of lines.

Schneckenhaus warnt Flugschnecke by Anna Meyer

Join us for the Opening of Schneckenhaus warnt Flugschnecke by Anna Meyer on Tuesday, December 17th from 11:30 am onwards at Pohlgasse 16 in Meidling, Vienna.

As the mother of all houses and a hybrid between plant, animal, human and house, the snail shell stands for a utopian mobile living space. The snail decelerates and is economically and ecologically optimised. The spiral-shaped shelter stands for ideally shielded living space. The warning waistcoats stand for the last generation and are protective waistcoats for life, work and tenants. Schneckenhaus warnt Flugschnecke invites you to think about issues such as the protection of life, housing, the world of work, nature and the climate. In the sense of we belong to the snail, to nature and not the other way round.

This work of art was created on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the ÖSw in collaboration with KÖR

Ugo Rondinone at Aspen Art Museum

The Aspen Art Museum is pleased to present ugo rondinone: the rainbow body, the artist’s (b. 1964, Brunnen, Switzerland) first major institutional show in Colorado in a career spanning over three decades. The Museum’s second-floor gallery is recast as a prismatic arena where fluorescent, lifelike sculptures of dancers sit at rest and in waiting. In his practice at large, Rondinone is celebrated for expansive installations, working with photography, painting, poetry, outdoor sculpture, and neon rainbow signage. His visual vocabulary often incorporates the natural and primordial world, wherein rocks, clouds, trees, and the sun are recurrent motifs. Language and systems of communication such as lyrics or slogans mark other modes of exploring human subjectivity and experience.

SOFIE THORSEN - MELANIE ENDER - JENNI TISCHER | IRREGULAR NEWS

Krobath Vienna @ Petra Rinck Gallery – ‘Irregular Views’, 30 August – 26 October

We are pleased to announce a new exhibition of ours at the Petra Rinck Gallery in DĂźsseldorf as part of this year’s DĂźsseldorf Cologne Open Galleries weekend.

The exhibition IRREGULAR NEWS, brings the three artistic positions into a considered context that allows the common analytical interests, the individual and subtleties of the works shown to emerge, but above all to interact for the first time. What all the artists have in common is that they live and work in Vienna and that their artistic approach and work, all phases of their artistic production and their authorship are always reflected in it. The results of their investigations and analyses, and especially the places of their presentation, their spatial structure, are an equal part of the artistic debate.
In the exhibition situation itself, this can lead to the addressing of spatial specifics and furthermore to moments in which transitions between the works become fluid and incipient sensitisation by one artist’s work finds a possible continuation in the work next to the other.
In the exhibition situation itself, this can lead to spatial specifics being addressed and also to moments in which transitions between the works become fluid and incipient sensitisation by one artist’s work finds a possible continuation in the work next to the other.
Even within the works, contrasts in the nature of the materials used can lead to openings in perception and expansions of perspective. Sofie Thorsen characterises the wall background of the gallery with the instrument of the chalk line in expansive installations with quick and precarious markings, in front of which selected showpieces made of stone find their place. The resulting tension between the accurate stroke of the chalk line and the eternal, natural shaping of the stones becomes comprehensible in the notational character of the presentation. The novelty value of Irregular News, which is assigned to the exhibition title despite the irregularities also mentioned, can also aim at a recollection of historical knowledge with regard to social reproduction, thus also referring to details of former unrealised urban planning models such as Llano del Rio (Antelope Valley, California, 1911-1914) by the feminist architect Alice Constance Austin, to which Jenni Tischer refers in her canvas formats and sculptural sketches in a concrete and diagrammatically mediating way.
The artists bring approaches to artistic work on infrastructures into focus, exposing their tools, the radius of their use and also the how within their fields of activity and criticism, including a historical reference or exposing it. The choice of materials, often used in contrast to their usual application, due to additional characteristics of interest, unites these three artistic processes in terms of attitude, ambition and care, in addition to the basic feminist conviction. In Melanie Ender’s works, the basic material of plasterboard, in addition to its already multi-flexible options for use, also becomes the site of fine incisions and inscriptions that end just before the boards break. In sketching and recording the work steps while hinting at the imminent result of further repetition, Ender undermines and focusses her authorship on one of her signature materials itself. The fact that the materials and techniques now mentioned often stand for and are used in architectural planning measures in modelling, conversion, design, etc. is just as remarkable in this context as it also describes the scope and incompleteness of the otherwise independent artistic projects by Ender, Thorsen and Tischer, which are comprehensively and worth seeing here in Irregular News.

While Sofie Thorsen draws lines directly into the exhibition space with a chalk line and loose pigment, the movement in Melanie Ender’s sculptures lies directly in the material, which she bends, moulds, grinds or cuts into fine gestural objects. In Jenni Tischer’s work, the material flows into her installations and pictures in the form of diagrammatic data.
