Work by Isabella Burtscher

Keiner Einzige Weniger - Nem um a menos, 2022

Poplar plywood plates processed with laser cutter, welding wire

The work shows the number of murders of women* based on their gender in Austria since the beginning of the year 2022. On average 3 women* or girls* are murdered per month in Austria, in most cases by close persons like (ex-)partners, sons or fathers. The most dangerous place for women is not out on the street at night, but at home in broad daylight in the family.

*Women and girls are given an asterix* to mark gender as a social construction.

The exhibition is open to the public from July 22, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., to on July 24, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. these two days.



Work by Lisa Waldner

revelation of the unspoken truth, 2022, on view.

"The rose came up yesterday morning, remember? And now it's already wilting," the woman said as she fastened the strap of the apron with a pin.



Artwork by Julie Kohn,

surrounded by human ashes, 2022

Linoleum print, Okashi paper, Printing ink consisting of wood ash and binder, 45,5cm x 61cm

Being surrounded by dust, debris, destroyed dreams and hopes, as well as gray tones and suffering are omnipresent in war experiences. This is also the case in the text "The Prophet" by Samuel Rawet. The latter did pioneering work by being the first to address the Shoah in Brazil. In this work, the linoleum prints serve as an allegory of the mediating feeling of inner emptiness. Imagine you are surrounded by human ashes.



Artwork by Mattia Minelli:

Insta(n)t_Reflection,2022

Adhesive foil on mirror, 60cm x 96cm

A look in the mirror can be different.

But is it true and honest?

In the setting of an Instagram feed we often show ourselves from a different side, but are we then still ourselves?
