Description: The city as a theme is an inexhaustible treasure trove and a source of inspiration for the creation of art. The urban space itself is far more than the sum of its buildings, for it is a social space, one that is constantly growing and developing and that is conditioned by changing and often divergent political, economic, social and cultural interests. This state of constant evolution and change is documented from the artist's perspective in the substantial exhibition catalogue "In der Stadt" (In the City). Using the fictional portrait of a city, the exhibition explored what conditions and situations are responsible for the mood there. Rejecting conventional ways of organizing and categorizing cities and using associative terms allows for a different form of narrative about the urban sphere and the atmosphere of the city. Exhibition: Museum Moderner Kunst Kärnten, Klagenfurt a.W., Austria (8.2. - 20.5.2018).
Notes: Catalog of an exhibition held at the Museum of Modern Art Carinthia, February 8 - May 20, 2018.
