CURATOR'S TOUR with Serena Fanara
through the
Solo Exhibition “Otis Rem” with Nika Kupyrova
The exhibition takes place as part of Erste Bank ExtraVALUE Art Award 2017. The artist received an Honorable Mention and will have a solo exhibition at das weisse haus.
Nika Kupyrova considers the abstract quality gestures develop once their physical object of interaction is removed. Browsing for gestures online finds digital hands scrolling, zooming and swiping – with no actual device in sight. The idea of ‘seeming’, the strategies of illusion and imitation laid out a path for a series of works combining sculpture, found imagery and a playing card set, which acts as a connecting element through the entire project.
Group exhibition: “Saluti da Riccione”: with: Cristina Calderoni, Chiara Campanile, Ryts Monet, Niccolò De Napoli
curated by Serena Fanara (das weisse haus Graduate 2017) artists: Cristina Calderoni, Chiara Campanile, Ryts Monet, Niccolò De Napoli
The project „Saluti da Riccione“ is a reflection on collective memory, carried out by a group of Italian artists operating in Vienna. It’s a project on the stratification of traces, the relativity of time, the evocation of forms. The aim is not to consolidate the identification processes of a community abroad, but to explore a common feeling that draws on the same system of symbols.
Supported by Istituto Italiano di Cultura Vienna.
duration of the exhibition: 04.10. - 18.11.2017
