Lavinia Lanner. Assume form / Portal V
Lavinia Lanner. Assume form / Portal V

“What a pity”, the artist states, “it’s the basis of all visual production, the essence, so to say – black and white, a simple yet powerful means to create contrast – accompanied and varied by the intensity of pressure applied to the paper, with your body holding a pencil. If this isn’t fundamental, I don’t know what else is.”

Constructed line by line, also a certain temporal aspect is captured in the work. In doing so, she focuses on making time – or rather the passing of it – visible by the bundles of lines.

Be it ephemeral strokes, geometric constructions or – as in the Showroom Volkstheater – organic shapes, Lanner’s artistic practice centres around drawing, more precisely, 3B pencil on paper. The simplicity of the means is what she is interested in, being the most direct and immediate way of giving shape to thoughts, and, at the same time, allowing her to create and construct complex gestures with it.

In small and large-scale formats, Lavinia Lanner pursues a drawing’s ability to slip into different roles, all being unfamiliar to the technique, such as sculptures, furry objects, metallic monuments, or, as an ongoing series of hers, brushstrokes. What pretends to be a dynamic and expressionistic doodle, is a precise reconstruction of a brushstroke by means of pencil and its single lines bearing only the concept of the original material. Other series include drawings of found objects, forgotten relicts of everyday life shown in a drawn close-up, resurrected in the new environment and context. She is interested in the ambiguity of shapes and their respective overlappings and boundaries.

Born in 1985 in Austria, Lavinia Lanner is a Vienna-based visual artist. She studied at Slade School of Fine Art (University College London) and graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 2010. In 2022 she received the Austrian State scholarship of Fine Art (bmkoes Staatsstipendium). Her studio is currently at studio das weisse haus (Hegelgasse 14, 1010 Vienna).

In ‘Time Passes’, the middle section of Virginia Woolf’s novel To The Lighthouse, the prose tracks through the Ramsay family’s vacated summer home. The island airs survey the house.

Magnets, stitches, wires, and belts are holding together the artist’s installation. The jewelry she made, pearl earrings standing in pairs on a print framed and hung with the leather belt, textile flag, and earring.

The artist decided to take up the abused definition of the era of the human being to peruse its end, imagining a world in which anthropogenic interferences continue their course even after us, an era close to its end.

Gert Resinger has been preoccupied with the word for a long time. Already in 2016, as part of his solo exhibition, he exhibited works under the title „RELAX“ that contravened the term.

Exhibition: How to disappear. The colours used in the works range from grey, beige, white, milk paint and eastern European green. Altogether, they manage to puzzle the viewer. So does the gallery showcase.

Laid out as a vertiginous landscape, Diego Perrone’s exhibition at MACRO brings together twenty years of the Italian artist’s multi-media output as well as five new works in the form of two work/displays.

If we preserved his style of giving titles in this series and exhibition, we would have called the panel talk „Meanwhile at 18.00 of the 15th of October“ but we are not the artist; therefore, we entitle it „Panel Talk. Meanwhile“.
