Zachary Formwalt. Aber wo sind die Hundertarmigen?

On the occasion of the recent painting restoration in the Aula of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the Academy invited artist Zachary Formwalt to create a site-specific artistic work. The video Aber wo sind die Hundertarmigen? is an exploration of Anselm Feuerbach's ceiling paintings depicting the fall of the Titans and the architecture surrounding them. Zachary's artistic-essayistic reflection makes the triumph of culture over nature (Feuerbach) or of thought over the laws of time (Schiller) seem less assured than the frescoes and surroundings might at first suggest.

Opening: 8.10.2021, 7 p.m.
Exhibition: 9.10.2021-30.1.2022
Location: Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Aula, Schillerplatz 3, 1010 Vienna
