I was asked in 2023 to curate one of the three yearly shows at Künstlerhaus Wien: to choose a subject, a potential co-curator, and select artists and their works.
I asked Esther Hladik to consider co-curating “Substanz” (the title was her idea), an exhibition about individuals who got frustrated with the societal efficacy of art: to change something in the world, can it be enough to create art?
The exhibition took over 1.5 years to realize, and had it’s opening on October 31st, 2024. Here are photos form the show, I’ll write more soon.
