Conversation 

Video

The book presentation accompanying Evelyn Plaschg’s exhibition Viscous City features a conversation between Vanessa Joan Müller, Sandro Droschl, and the artist herself. Müller’s essay Ansichten des Unbestimmten (Views of the Indefinite) describes Plaschg’s painting as a poetic-analytical reflection on the body, pictorial space, and urban experience, inviting an in-depth exchange on image, text, and perception.

Viscous City

Slide show

Evelyn Plaschg combines sophisticated technique and her own idiosyncratic imagery to produce a kind of painting that is figurative in ways that transcend all standard approaches.

Viscous City

Louise Giovanelli
A Song of Ascents

Slide show

Louise Giovanelli paints striking hypnotic works that emit light both on a visual and metaphorical level. Her works often show mysterious objects, such as a closed curtain, a glimmering shock of hair, or the reflecting surface of a cocktail glass. There are also human figures, often women, seemingly caught in moments between awe and desperation, or about to cross over a border of experience and knowledge.

Artist Talk 

Video

Together, artist Evelyn Plaschg and curator Jan Tappe will speak about the process of painting, shifts within the artist’s practice, the role of photography as a point of departure, the presence of the body in the image, and a growing interest in urban spaces and infrastructures.
