The upcoming exhibition in the project space of Galerie Hrobsky entitled “Sister.wood” shows works by the artists: 
L.Naumanen, R.Hadraba, L.Leverenz.
Their works are linked by the contemplative seclusion in their studios, like hermits in their cloisters. The title thus refers to hermits in Switzerland who called themselves “forest brothers” and gave their name to a plateau in Basel with the field name “Bruderholz”.

Observing the increasing interest of the younger generations in contemporary art, with the new FORMAT [Bild.er.lesen] | [paint>ing<read] we want to provide answers to common and frequently asked questions, such as:
WHAT does the artist want to say, WHAT was the motivation?
WHY is this particular technique or material used?
We therefore invite you to a journey through the world of ideas, forms and imagery of the artists in our gallery with the upcoming evenings of [Bild.er.lesen].

[Bild.er.lesen] - Introduction and objective /

project description ; read more ...

The [Bild.er.lesen]|[paint>ing<read] project is intended to offer the opportunity to broaden our perception of painting.
Because in today's diverse art scene, we find painters who work in different styles, with multiple techniques and concepts. Every stroke, every color, every blank space, every material has a different meaning that is waiting to be deciphered by attentive viewers. Only by "reading" their pictures do we learn something not only about the art itself, but also about the world in which they and we live.
The [Bild.er.lesen] concept aims to open the door to an intimate and fascinating journey to reflect on the artists' thoughts and immerse ourselves in their world. Into a world where art becomes a book, full of stories told in colors, shapes and symbols. Artists use their canvases as pages on which they translate thoughts, emotions and perspectives into visual narratives. Each painting style is a chapter, with the works as pages waiting to be deciphered. These works invite us not only to look at them superficially, but to go deeper and thereby understand the often diverse stories that lie hidden between the creative acts.
In a world where visual communication is becoming increasingly dominant, "reading pictures" can become a key skill. It sharpens our ability to see beyond the obvious and recognize the subtle nuances and messages hidden in the works of contemporary artists. It is an invitation to break through the surface and explore the depths of art to understand the stories they tell.
But by reading paintings, we also want to tell stories that interpret these multi-layered narratives, to initiate a dialog between the creator and the viewer, where the interpretation complements the artist's intention. To see painting not just as decoration  but as a living expression of thoughts, emotions and ideas.
With the resulting film presentations as creative acts, we try to overcome the boundaries of verbal communication and enter into a higher, personal level with the painters.
[Bild.er.lesen] R.Hadraba & L.Leverenz & L.Naumanen /

with Ulrike Jakob (head of gallery); read more ...

The unifying basic idea of the works, each created in contemplative seclusion, contrasts with the obviously divergent, individual forms of expression of their works. In this “sisterly” approach to the material WOOD, the three talk about their ideas, associations and also material approaches, in direct relation to the exhibited works.
 
[Bild.er.lesen] Dialogue recording: Marco Spitzar /

by Rupert Eder (Maler & Kurator); read more ...

Marco Spitzar  was in conversation with Rupert Eder in the gallery on 13 February 2023, discussing the background as well as their motivation and experiences during the often long creative processes and dealing with the perennial question of whether and how art can be interpreted or made tangible ?

They also talk about overcoming conventional approaches, the external influences but also personal, actually inner thought processes and the associated inspirations and ultimately about the path that M. Spitzar ultimately took with his "Klebungen" /"glueing".

They also philosophise about the duality of time and form, their contraposition and effect in a 3-dimensional context.

Duration of Video ca 16 min.
[Bild.er.lesen] Dialogue recording: Martina Tscherni /

by Vanessa Bersis (Kunstforum STRABAG); weiterlesen ...

Martina Tscherni  has been talking to Vanessa Bersis (Strabag Kunstforum) about her motivation and hence impressions during the long swim experiences and explore the question:  What does swimming have to do with art ?
 
Martina Tscherni recently swam across the Strait of Gibraltar and will give some initial insights into her artistic treatment of the event at Galerie Hrobsky.
We also talked about her projects, the approach, the choice of motif, the external but also personal influences and inner inspirations and finally about further plans and projects.

In this introduction to Maria Temnitschka, we talk to the artist about her series of works, her approach, her choice of motif, the external but also personal influences and inner inspirations, the decisions derived from them, her messages to the viewer, and finally about further plans and projects.

Larissa LEVERENZ: 5.-10.09.2023 /

"PARALLEL Vienna - 2023"; click on & read more ...

„Larissa Leverenz " takes the viewer into a world of surreal, alien beauty. The technique used is particularly fascinating: the artist paints and draws, she prints and collages on thin wooden plates, which with their natural grain and structure make up the background of the picture. Sometimes she carves into the panels or expands them into installation works in space - an unusual visual language for us, never seen before in this form, and a clever interweaving of very different artistic techniques."
{G. Oberhollenzer}

Martina TSCHERNI - "über Wasser" /

10. July - 17. Sept. 2023 >> click on & read more ...

Southern view, drawing rolls "kryokonite", 2014-15
The exhibition will take place in the former Jesuit Church  (6060 Hall in Tirol).
 
Duration of the exhibition:
1. July - 17. September 2023
 
Opening: 10.Juli 2023
 
The architecture of the baroque Jesuit Church in Hall is somehow ideal for the presentation of Martina Tscherni's works. The nature of the sacred space allows the entire spectrum of her work - drawings, textiles and video installations - to be presented.
 
Confessional booths, "textilia", 2022-23
The overarching theme is water - from which our life comes - it reflects our entire social condition and points to the fragility of life and survival.
Everything is in motion, everything flows, everything is in constant change.

The side chapel is conceived as a contemplative space, the video "....vom Schwimmen im Fluss" shown there shows the artist's deep relationship to this element.
MARTINA TSCHERNI, a native of Hall, has lived and worked mainly there since her studies at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.

Artist's talk with S. Aigner: 18.10.2022

What had happened ?
On a Saturday in May Martina Tscherni completed the "long run" from Vienna to Bratislava, an artistic swimming event !
This resulted in  " . . about swimming in the river "  -  | thoughts | experiences | impressions in video-technical processing, which could be shown in "near real time" in the gallery.
 
As a logical continuation, an exhibition was organised in the Austrian Cultural Forum, Bratislava [Rakúske kultúrne fórum Bratislava] from 13 to 28 October 2022. At the same time, an artist talk was held by Frau Mag. Sylvie Aigner (PARNASS) - which has been moderated at an event   "On The Road Again" Initiative at the Künstlerhaus Wien am 18.10. 2022 .

 
For the video presentation of real recorded swimming actions:
Beginning with the tiny creatures that are inaccessible to the unaided eye and become visible through the drawing, the material-related basis for a video installation was created, which owes its content to a temporary life in the river.
