| Andreas Leikauf: How to make money
Andreas Leikauf recycles words, which puts the recycling of pictures taken from newspapers and magazines on a new level: empty catch phrases are unmasked, high-gloss pictures begin to crack, bucolic settings wobble and wilt, customary things are filtered and become obscure, and what is simple, unspectacular, actually a detail, is made significant. The letters and words seem to float in... |

| Thomas Hirschhorn: DAS AUGE
Thomas Hirschhorn
"Das Auge" ("The Eye") is the title of my exhibition in the Secession. "Das Auge" has nothing to do with Georges Bataille – who I admire greatly. As an artist, I want to make a work that in no ways bows down to historical facts. With "Das Auge" I want to give form to this resistance against a form. I want to produce a work that does not bow down to facts and... |

| Bad Painting – good art
In an eye-opening exhibition the MUMOK draws attention to the phenomenon of ‘bad painting’ which, up till now, has been given too little consideration. Twenty-one painterly positions will be shown that, in accordance with the concept’s spectrum of meaning, manifest their ‘badness’ in various strategies of bad, ugly or malicious painting and thus contain elements of irony,... |

| Miha Štrukelj - Virtual Networks
Images on the paintings and drawings by the Slovenian painter Miha Štrukelj take us into the world of traumatic historic moments of civilisational madness and self-destruction, while delving into the stories about lyrical and withdrawn urban landscapes, random glimpses into the core of the life of metropolis, where the human figure exists only as an insecure witness to the manifested... |

| Punk. No One is Innocent
Art - Style - Revolt
KUNSTHALLE wien, hall 1
Besides Hip Hop, Punk was the last global pop culture movement that aimed to be more than just an acoustic furnishing of teenager bedrooms: a complete upheaval in fashion, gestures of style, artistic forms of expression, and music − from the improve-the-world poses rampant in the sixties’ Summer of Love to the nihilism and the No... |

Already before the time when Hrdlicka committed himself primarily to three-dimensional art, he was in contact with plastic structures, in the form of dental impressions made of gypsum, during his apprenticeship as a dental technician between 1942 and 1945. It was in 1944 – in other words... |
