The title Love-Peace-Art at this years Vienna City Gallery Walk connects more than 40 Galleries with a unique program between 4th an 6th may 2023. It symbolizes the love of art, the freedom of expression, the adventure and playfulness, diversity in art and a great come together of art enthusiasts. The program is very versatile and varies from exhibition openings, musical performances and compositions, sculptural performances, live drawings and text readings.
On this occasion, I will present the collection TERRA INCOGNITA in my former Studio STOSSIMHIMMEL in Viennese first district. The collection will consist of my works made between 2020 – 2023, made of titanium, silver, gems and wood.
The opening of the exhibition will be on 4th May 2023 at 18.30, in Studio STOSSIMHIMMEL, Stoss im Himmel 3/3a, 1010 Vienna, with a planned City Gallery Walk Tour. I will be reading from my books in the evening on 5th May at 18.00. On Saturday at 11.00, there will be a breakfast with me where you can discuss and ask questions about my works.
The exhibition will last until 31st May 2023.
