Come Closer

Exhibition

11.04. - 25.05.2025
Akademie der bildenden Künste Exhibit Studio 
Schillerplatz 3, 1010 Wien

What at first glance appears silent and suspended in abstraction unfolds over time, up close; waiting to be highlighted by attention. Through exploration, narratives emerge – minute details, intricate structures, shifts in scale, quiet revelations. Meaning emerges in the stillness, in the unnoticed, in the gaps in between.

The works in this group exhibition are based on observation, the sensitivity of materials, and time-consuming processes. Each work – whether carved, printed, or collected – is an appeal for attention as a practice. Some invite visitors to look, others to read, and still others to touch; but all invite them to come closer. With contributions by Andreas Sahl Andersen, Emil Eckert, Gwiyeon Han, Kathrin Hanga, Hannah Heiermann, Yixuan Hu, Tao Iver, Prima Mathawabhan, Ana Matos, Buket Özalevli, Ariel Shefi, Neda Tabrizi, Esther Vörösmarty, Gyuri Yang and Wenfei Zhao.

The exhibition was organised by students of the workshop ‘Production and Project Management in Exhibition-Making - Practice’: Liudmilla Aneshenkova, Flora Frank, Djoana Gueorguieva, Hans Patrick Kjaer-Hansen, Artem Konevskikh, Andrea Kozuchova, Chien-Yu Lin, Tzu-Yu Lin, Buket Özalevli and Lou von der Heyde.
