Project room Zieglergasse 46
Exhibition "The Next Episode"
curated by Walter Seidl
With works by Verena Gotthardt, Birgit Graschopf, Viktoria Morgenstern and Mariella Lehner
The Next Episode continues the program of Galerie Rudolf Leeb in a pop-up location and shows works by female artists of the gallery with new young positions. The ephemeral character of the presentation manifests itself in a specially created fog atmosphere with reference to the project series "Cool Art in the Cool Mile," in order to recall the transience of current times.
Birgit Graschopf and Verena Gotthardt show photographic perspectives from their work, which deal with the medium and its time-based recording situation and focus on the fleeting nature of the gaze. Viktoria Morgenstern's sculptures resist this transience by demonstrating their metallic stability in the middle of the room as well as in the display. Also on display there are works by Mariella Lehner, which were transferred as set pieces from the former exhibition space in Kaiserstraße and generate new models of a synopsis. The focus on female positions underlines the strength of a younger generation of female artists who have established themselves as active players in Vienna's art scene in recent years.
