Peter Sandbichler

In the Studio Peter Sandbichler, Vienna

The Tyrolean-born artist Peter Sandbichler frequently uses cardboard as his source material, which he cuts, folds, and thereby into three-dimensional objects. His preference for modular systems is just as apparent in the large-scale sculptures that interpose themselves within a space as in his smaller-scale origami-like works. Sandbichler’s particular interest in the fold in sculpture is equally evident when he reaches for other materials such as concrete or metal.

With her art, Patricia Piccinini opens up a sculptural world of animal-human mutants, cloned creatures, and cyborgs. It is a world that looks at once familiar and fantastic-futuristic. At first sight, these creatures may well appear alien and surreal. On a closer look, though, one can see friendly faces and caring gestures.

From the outset, with the foundation of the Wiener Werkstätte (WW), women artists were also involved in its creations. Their number grew constantly until the company’s liquidation in 1932, and especially in the interwar years Mathilde Flögl, Maria Likarz, Felice Rix, or Vally Wieselthier defined the look of the WW with fantastic fabric patterns and expressive ceramics. In the course of our research, about 180 female artists were identified and approximately half of these are represented in this exhibition. TIME SLOT BOOKING REQUIRED!

Marianna Uutinen

Marianna Uutinen, Berlin
For over thirty years, Finnish artist Marianna Uutinen has been making works that reject the making of gestural marks in favor of an expanded notion of painting. She is best known for her large-scale abstract paintings made using her signature technique, which comprises building up layers of acrylic paint to make a skin and then draping these skins directly onto the canvas.
