The exhibition showcasing the winners of the Kunsthalle Wien Prize 2023 will gather ten artists that
graduated last year from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna or the University of Applied Arts Vienna:
Jusun Lee
and
Marielena Stark – winners of the first prizes – as well as
Željka Aleksić, Mila Balzhieva, Luisa
Berghammer, Daniel Fonatti, Valentin Hämmerle, Michael Reindel, Anne Schmidt, and
Marc Truckenbrodt.
The exhibition is meant as an institutional amplifier for the artists and the various concerns they articulate in
their works. The diversity of their creative perspectives and the forms they use – for the first time, graduates of the Graphic
Art and Printmaking as well as Stage Design departments and the interdisciplinary program Art & Science are among the
winners – is suggested by the show’s title. It invites both the artists and the public to engage in a shared reflection on
the ambivalence of the contemporary world, as between our perpetual sense of urgency and our yearning for a slower life –
or as Nirvana sang way back in 1991: “Take your time, hurry up.”
The
Kunsthalle Wien Prize 2023 is realized
with the kind and generous support of Steirer Mika & Comp..
