    Exhibition

    University Library

    Two portrait collage works in mixed media with colorful abstract acrylic painting. Left: "Homage to Simone de Beauvoir" with this text: "The entire history of women: Made by men? Primarily, mostly, but not only. Ever since time immemorial there have been matriarchies, where all power is organized through the descent of the maternal line, and religious beliefs are traced back to a beldam or great goddess. But these were archaeological cultures. Thus, women must continue to work intensely for their liberation ..." On the right, the "Homage to Hugo von Hoffmannsthal" with the following text: "When the development of imagination turns against fate, does that break what we plan - or do new possibilities not also arise? And is not also the value of rational thinking for visions to be questioned?"

    TBT. Your childhood, goth friends and a waving burberry scar

    Exhibition as part of the series „Wer A… sagt“ of the University Library of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna

    Exhibition

    Schillerplatz/ University Library (Reading room, M7)

    University Library

    The picture shows a concreted sidewalk on which something happened. In the middle of the floor are fragments that tell a story. There is a wig with long glossy hair, on top of that a cap that reminds one of the the car-brand Subaru, the label of the brand is on it, decorated with tribal-style-flames. Underneath the cap and in the nest, that the hair has built on the street, are pieces of broken sunglasses. They have a neon color and one of the shards reveals the Gucci logo on them. Next to the human traces, are parts of a scooter. A handlebar from which one side has broken off, one other pole with a holder to regulate the size of the scooter and a reflecting metal wheel.The title of the artwork is: “Cute babe fell off the scooter and broke their Gucci glasses. Uff.“ All the pieces, accept for the wig, are made out of ceramics and have the same glossy, smooth surface the glaze creates.

    You can see a small-format oil painting, the photo was taken from the side, therefore the canvas appears distorted in perspective. The canvas depicts a format-filling mouth interior presented in an unusual way. The gums as well as all the teeth are clearly visible, the lips seem to be folded back or put over the "lens". In the center of the painting, a label of the Gucci fashion brand has been turned inside out and sewn on
