Exhibition text
Black is “the darkest of the dark”; the most original color and the loneliest.
There's no black in the rainbow.
Nevertheless, the nuances, facets and connotations of the color phenomenon black are almost infinite.
It is not by chance that “black art” once flourished.

Recently, it has experienced a remarkable renaissance in contemporary art.
Does black exist at all or is it merely a construction of the brain?
Is it a “nothing without is it a nothings out possibility” or is everything potentially hidden in black?
The artist in the exhibition explore a complex field of differences in black.

What black is and what it appears to be can be very different.
Because “what appears black to us it's only a hunch something filtered, the Sud.
What we think is black is a bluff,” Franzobel writes, thus emphasizing the incomprehensible in the perception of black, but also the frightening, the other.

It is better to see in color, to live in light.
Doubt, darkness, holes, magic, the night, the hidden and human consciousness are hidden in black.
The German philosopher Theodor W Adorno wrote in his “Aesthetic Theory” that radical art is “black and it's basic color”, as dark as the reality it is meant to withstand.
In the current Pandemic apocalypse, fear, loneliness, isolation become commodities.

Time hurts, makes one pensive, thin-skinned and melancholic; already in melancholy there is black bile.
A new sensibility for black has awakened.

Curated by Bjorn Stern for Galerie Kandlhofer, the exhibition "Weltgeist" examines the influence of humanism and its development over time. Seven international artists, including Janine Antoni, Reza Aramesh, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and the renowned late Hermann Nitsch, employ their individual techniques to shed light on the theme.
In her exhibition WATER, artist VIVIAN GREVEN reveals a series of large-scale paintings depicting different moments of birth. Greven paints birth explicitly, depicting it in itself, as an act of action. And despite the explicit pictorial subjects, it seems as if time stands still in the paintings: they hold something infinite.
Munchies Art Club is thrilled to share Alfredo Barsuglia's first solo exhibition "Pille" at Galerie3 in Austria features paintings, objects, and large pneumatic pills. The exhibition offers a unique and fantastic spatial experience, with clear and poetic image motifs and graffiti sprayed directly onto the gallery walls.
Our eyes, restlessly moving, almost dancing, follow the lines and diagonals shooting from the core in multiple directions. Every single line of colourful fabrics, hand-written expressive notes, tokens of systems, symbols or other visual aids imply a passionate, deep dive into unexplored topics. An information cluster instantly triggers our fantasy. What are these?
