The format and the idea of the exhibition fehlerhaft [koetlʏð], which is conceptualized and executed by the Viennese art collective d.band, is not only to present this body of work of Hallgrímur’s but also to explore and experiment with the multi-dimensionality of paintings as a phenomenon by constructing new perspectives of experience through experimental space manipulation and with the help of additional tools and media.

Hallgrímur’s action-driven abstract works, loaded with energy and life, have a tendency to subtly lose their abstraction to him, somewhere along the process. Visions of figurations and meaning slowly reveal themselves on the canvas, hidden within an interpretation of color, texture, form, and the (im)balance of chaos and order that compose his paintings. These appearances spark conversations within the artist which often lead to titles. Neither too revealing nor direct, the titles, serve only as an invitation and an entrance into the abstraction, sparking the viewers curiosity and imagination as well as the personal interaction between viewer and painting, where everything can, and should, happen.

Having primarily focused on the three-dimensional art of architecture and industrial design, Hallgrímur took the step from three to two dimensions only shortly before returning to the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in 2020, where he most recently studied under the guidance of Daniel Richter.

Special Guests of fehlerhaft [koetlʏð] are two artists with separate performances: Andrea Gunnlaugsdóttir, will present her new performance, Liquid, at 16:00 and 18:00 on the 12th of Feb, together with Julia Müllner. Marco Kleebauer will perform and premiere a new concept of his, Calculated Music, at 20:00 on the 16th of Feb, exploring the relationship between numbers and music through experimental musical calculations.

Exhibition duration: 11th till the 17th of February, daily from 17:00-21:00 (with the exception of the 12th when Andrea Gunnlaugsdóttir will perform at 16:00)

The exhibition is held at Brick-15, Herklotzgasse 21, 1150 Vienna – www.brick-15.at

Walking among these strange new surroundings, I keep wondering, are they just as suspicious of me as I am of them? I leave parts of myself behind wherever I go, and now I’m reassembling.

The Korsaks’ Museum of the Contemporary Ukrainian Art (KMCUA) in Lutsk, Ukraine, has launched the „COSMOGONY“ project, within which it is planned to create the world’s largest painting.

They post content every day, basically a bulimic creation. The problem is that if I don’t see anything new for more than 48 hours, I go myself to see if they’ve posted anything, in case I missed it.

Chelsie Kirkey (b. 1987) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. In 2022, she had a solo show with Taymour Grahne Projects, a two-person show at F2T Gallery and participated in group shows at Thierry Goldberg Gallery.

Lena Brazin (b. 1985, Kosice, Slovakia) is a London-based artist whose figurative paintings explore the seen and the unseen with an attempt to materialise immateriality, to reflect the fullness of human existence.

It is accessory and signature piece, everyday object and above all: a political sign, created— one almost wants to bring to mind the avant-garde tradition— by happenstance. One word.

Her work studies the concept of perception and its alteration of it in painting and installation. From the light-shadow relationship, perception its alteration expand toward the investigation of art and the art system itself.

Nazım Ünal Yılmaz’s approach in peinture that evidently leads the spectator „always forward“, carries the traces of the self-justification of an artist who is dizzy with his personal palette of colours and space.

Saxon Quinn is a self-taught artist with a background in Visual Design. His mother – Dianne Coulter, also an artist, has had a large studio and gallery on the family property since he was born.

Brake lights have long been under-recognized agents of progress. Their lives are spent graciously retreating so that the rest of us may move forward. It’s as noble an act of self sacrifice.

merritt k is a writer and editor who has previously produced a book of poetry and an anthology of interactive fiction, as well as created and hosted several podcasts. She lives in New York.

Galleria Raffaella Cortese is delighted to present The Ongoing Story, Alejandro Cesarco’s third solo show with the gallery. In the artist’s own words: “The exhibition is a selection of recent works.

During this three-day hybrid festival, a new generation of designers and performing artists from all over the world are given the opportunity to show their work to a broad (inter)national audience.
