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.

Kirstine Roepstorff
Illuminating Shadows
7th February – 4th April 2010
The first major individual exhibition in Austria by Danish artist Kirstine Roepstorff extends to two institutions, showing a series of works developed especially for this context: Galerie im Taxispalais, Innsbruck and Stadtgalerie Schwaz.
Kirstine Roepstorff belongs to a young generation of artists who are working in a novel way with the technique of collage. Using this medium she has developed an unusual visual language, which she transposes into space-consuming installations, objects and sculptures in order to investigate cultural contexts and trigger new narratives.
Stadtgalerie Schwaz is looking for a new director.

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space and appropriates aspects of different places and contexts – from subculture to science, from popular media to historical reference and feminist theory – for producing art and starting discussions on the role of artist and viewer.
