The art of Amelie von Wulffen is a wild combination of dream and joke, in which the unconscious and the suppressed, the subjective and the objective, the political and the artistic, balance each other and reflects the artist’s own involvement. “Brown” undertones, family, and genre scenes in a pseudo-romantic, rural idyll meet set pieces from art history. Ice cream flavors such as Magnum, Cornetto & Co frame the scene, timeless triggers for childlike substitute satisfaction.
The hybrid character of the works created by Adrian Kiss in recent years has evolved from the synthesis of the sensuality of his artistic approach and the rationality of his creative process conceived of as design. Kiss’s unique narrative installations created in recent years are deconstructed and constructed, their thematic unity provided by the formulation of the human body in abstract forms, their medial basic tone by the extensive use of materials, and their visual character by the appropriation of details and industrial design forms borrowed from the world of everyday objects and fashion.

This year’s opening of the Venice Biennale was as wet as inspiring 🌊 Fruzsina Kacskó, Head of External Relations at viennacontemporary, is sharing her experience and top picks of national pavilions with focus on Eastern Pavilions.
In the art of Zsófia Keresztes, the complex and plastic system of iconographic shapes melting into each other, is paired with the formal language and references of the Millennials. Her works can be interpreted as embodied mosaics that uniquely combine sensuality and virtuality, analogue and digital, real and surreal: creating an archaic, yet extraordinarily contemporary visual language, they revolve around the issues of subjective self-identity. 
For Stano Filko the power of the colour red makes you feel how bodies may understand the world 🟥 But what now, if the body is displaced, in exile, out of sync with its surroundings? This is what the work coming out of Filko's New York years speaks of. Arriving in Manhattan, in 1982, after fleeing the ČSSR, he absorbs the urban energy psycho-physically. Filko gets body-checked by USA where money talks, and sets rules for art: "Show me. Don't tell me. Where is the beef?" Filko responds, work gets fleshy, pink, red, big, and loud. In turn he wants to know: "I show you. Now tell me: Where is the love?"
