Max Schaffer 'All clear' @gabrielesenngalerie on View till April 21. The checkered dish-towel hangs neatly folded in the kitchen. The curtains are drawn. It is after six o’clock. The newscast is about to start. A storm is looming. With his solo exhibition “all clear” Max Schaffer ventures into uncertain terrain, all cleverly reflected but with a slightly cheeky implicitness. A space-capturing installation of new textile works illustrates the theme that ‘domestic bliss is undergoing radical change’. This time the artist, whose style explores conceptually and formally the charged relationship between everyday culture and cultural discourse in a multi-layered interconnection of appropriations and references, uses conventional dish-towels as the basic material of his exhibition – not as a readymade, but as an item of encroachment. Tinted in batik technique with black dye, the textiles usually associated with conservative domesticity seem to mirror the characteristics of the exhibition concept with a subtle undertone: something is out of whack here, the uncontrollable, the unknown, the other has upset the order of things and is now asking for an unavoidable confrontation with something that remains undisclosed, an event that can no longer be reversed. #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #contemporaryvienna

‘Möbel und’ at @christinekoeniggalerie . —- Furniture has always existed in an unclearly defined zone where life blends into art and art into life. There’s a utilitarian aspect to it—we need it to store our things—as well as a decorative one: one wants it to look nice. In early minimal art, on the other hand, pieces of furniture were design objects that not infrequently mutated into nonfunctional art sui generis, thereby tossing classic design vocabularies into an entirely new intellectual context. The exhibition MÖBEL UND plays in a refined, provocative, and humorous way with the multifarious coding of meublements, with the gains of both pleasure and knowledge thus squeezed out being ends in a quintessentially Kantian sense. In this group show, which includes works from various decades by artists from different generations, “furniture” is, so to speak, a potentially flexible thing unto itself—a thing that can be configured to form diverse assemblages and be subjected to formal permutations associated with violence and passion. #contemporaryart #contemporaryvienna
