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..
