Over the years Christoph Meier, Ute Müller, Robert Schwarz, and Lukas Stopczynski have been creating to-scale, site-specific variations on the legendary architectural icon the Loos American Bar (also known as the Kärntner Bar and the American Bar), in various locations and using a range of materials. The bar, designed by Adolf Loos in 1907/08, is located in Vienna’s 1st district, and measures only 27.36 m2. From episode to episode, the artists have broadened their repertoire of cross references and levels of abstraction pertaining to the Loos Bar’s interior, rendered almost infinitely expandable by its mirrored walls.

Happy Birthday, Gianni Manhattan (@giannimanhattan)! 🌺🎈 Today the gallery celebrates its 5th year anniversary, which coincides with the official opening of the show “Laurence Sturla: THROUGH TONGUE AND SOIL”. Stop by to celebrate and bring some kind wishes!

Early body art and performances, feature films and kinetic sculptures, intimate drawings and poems – Rebecca Horn has been practising her art now for fifty years, during which time she has created her own symbolically charged multifaceted cosmos. Her works make up an expanding web of objects, motifs and themes that she constantly spins anew. In doing so she interweaves numerous traditions of art, literature and film – likewise mythology and the world of fairy tales.

What makes objects and objects memorable? And when do the corresponding memories cease to exist? Do memories even exist, without someone to share them with, without the place to which they belong?

The multi-layered photographic interventions by Vienna-based artist Sophie Thun complicate the relationship between the imaginary space of the image and the real space of the viewer. By revealing the sites, mechanisms, and performances inherent in the production of the image, Thun breaks its seamless illusion, honestly documenting the performance of its construction. In her new exhibition, MERGE LAYERS, the artist creates a superimposition of her previous projects. Featuring the archive of Zenta Dzividzinska, Sophie Thun not only overwrites her own works but also merges the layers of both artists’ past and present.

Tony Cokes’ solo exhibition SM BNGRZ centers around and observes club culture as hubs for celebration of life through love, desire, queerness, music, art, aesthetics and bodies moving. The show questions the potential loss of such hubs through the impossibility of no longer gathering collectively. As a starting point, Cokes takes Rainald Goetz’s RAVE (1998) to examine clubs of the past, the present and the future and hence, its political quality in the creation of subculture, activist movements and political resistance.
