Galerie der Stadt Schwaz

On April 18th, 2013, at precisely 7pm, the Galerie der Stadt Schwaz will open the exhibition "Frau Prüde zu Dr. Loch und Frau Sxxxx zu Dr. Ernst" by the British artist Josephine Pryde. Pryde's photographs have been described as dealing with the production of affects. In Schwaz, she will combine works from the last three long decades, including works not yet shown from the series called 'This Time Last Year' (2012), as well as a sculpture from 1990, and further previously unexhibited framed photographic prints.

When bodies tumble from the Venice skies, they seem to plunge ecstatically into infinity. Until they dissolve into point clouds shimmering in the light of the projection. Rens Veltman mistrusts the promises with which the digital revolution forges ahead. He neither succumbs to the dizziness that makes us stagger nor to the shenanigans aimed at convincing us to believe that we are witnessing the conquest of a new world. For the exhibition presented in the gallery of the city of Schwaz, Rens Veltman decided to let machines operate, which, fed with specific algorithms, produce drawings. The machines are robots constructed and programmed by Veltman himself. According to the robots’ program, the lines mark the shortest possible routes between the various points at the given coordinates. Painting by numbers, Veltman’s robots resemble travelling salesmen striving to optimize their itineraries between stops.

Walter Obholzers (1953-2008) Arbeiten zeichnen sich durch ihr besonderes Interesse an systemischen Zusammenhängen aus. Es würde zu kurz greifen, ihn als Maler zu bezeichnen. Für Obholzer waren die Lücken von Bedeutung, die sich zwischen den Dingen auftun. Sie erlauben ein ungehindertes Einfließen von Informationen, Bedingungen, Systemen, die in der Organisation des Bildes reflektiert werden. In der Galerie der Stadt Schwaz sind neben frühen Arbeiten, die mit Überlagerungen von Fotografie und Malerei arbeiten, Bilder aus den Reihen „Otaku“, (was soviel heißt wie leidenschaftliche Selbstbezüglichkeit), und „Vertikale Panoramen“ zu sehen. Walter Obholzers Malerei ist eine Malerei der Gegenstimmen, bei der Farben und Formen nacheinander in verschiedenen Stimmen auftreten.

An open conversation between the artist and the curator of A-ZZZ.

Opening: Saturday, November 5, 11:00

Michael Hakimi (*1968) belongs to a generation of artists whose work developed with a critical awareness of the expanded art practices that have shaped art since the 1960s.

On Signs from Nicole Bianchet

On this Saturday our opening hours are from 18.00 to 01.00 o'clock. The ongoing exhibition is called "Wünschelwas" from Nicole Bianchet. There will be guided tours on the hour. Further we play music from the artist - vocals with guitare.

Bianchet’s abstract painting draws references to art of the 1960s. Her questioning of tachism and the introduction of this abstract form to painting leads to horizontal formats or pre-Raphael tondis. Her technique of partially removing acrylic paint from the surface reveals the wooden board beneath, creating ornamental or crater-like forms that recall abstract, almost romantic landscape shapes.

In cooperation with Galerie Michael Haas in Berlin.

Cosima Rainer is appointed as new artistic director for Stadtgalerie Schwaz starting from summer 2010. She will be supported by her new assistent Bianca Moser.

in cooperation with Kunsthalle Krems
Mahony´s working method is mainly influenced by the idea of a processual character of artwork and marked by collective development of work. The project Odyssey 500 itself is an artistic analysis of the cultural history of global travel, which examines the emotional connotations of the travel theme in historic derivation, constructed narratives and established myths in its reference to problems affecting real societies nowadays. In this sense it is an attempt of a contemporary artistic inquiery of phenomena such as movement, definitions of space, situatedness, allocation, translation, transport, time (etc.).
The artist group Mahony was founded in 2002 by Stephan Kobatsch, Jenny Wolka, Andreas Duscha and Clemens Leuschner. All four currently live and work in Vienna.

In 2007, after earning a Master's degree in Fine Arts, she began her PhD studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. She is current Associate Researcher at GradCAM in Dublin.
Roberta focuses on her own body as theme for her work and uses various media, such as photographs, video and installations. Additionally that she investigates space and appropriates aspects of different places and contexts – from subculture to science, from popular media to historical reference and feminist theory – for producing art and starting discussions on the role of artist and viewer.
