From March 13 till July 17, 2013 will see the presentation of the exhibition open spaces | secret places. Works from SAMMLUNG VERBUND in the Vertical Gallery in Vienna. It unites artistic positions that visualise the perception of "spaces and places" in different ways. From the 1960’s, artists have increasingly been abandoning the two-dimensional surface of painting. They are leaving their ateliers, creating enormous sculptural formations in the expanse of the desert; voluminous environments are arising in the backyards and beginning to intervene in public space in a site-specific manner. From the 1970’s, a collective consciousness to act spatially thus forms in contemporary art production. The last four decades illustrate that the contemporary art scene would be inconceivable without the radical change that took place earlier.
Opening: 13 March 2013, 6 p.m.
