Exhibition-Archive

How do women perceive themselves? And how are they seen in a society characterised by patriarchal structures? These questions are at the centre of the group exhibition ‘I am my own muse’. The works presented scrutinise traditional role models, break with stereotypical ideas and deal with social norms. With a strong, self-confident visual language, the artists not only address the construction of femininity, but also the visibility of women in the art world. Often taboo subjects are addressed in order to open up new perspectives on being a woman and to question common narratives.

The Art of Collecting - Spotlights is an exhibition concept that focuses on selected pieces from the collection and creates a thematic link to the temporary exhibition.

This time, the Klocker Foundation scholarship goes to Fabian Reetz, born in Bad Salzungen/DE in 1997, who began his studies at the Bauhaus University in Weimar in 2017 and is currently studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Prof. Iman Issa.

The exhibition Soli Kiani - (in)human tells a story of the profound social constraints, prohibitions and censorship that are a reality for many people - especially women - in Iran.

The Klocker Foundation 2024 advancement award goes to the Tyrolean artist Richard Schwarz (*1984).

Light is the prerequisite for our visual perception. Zora Kreuzer transforms the Klocker Museum into a light space and invites visitors to consciously experience perceptual-physiological effects.

Lukas Dworschak (*1993 in Innsbruck, lives and works in Vienna) deals with the effects of technologisation on individual and collective consciousness.

For the second part of the series, we invited our 2023 Art Award winner Christine Ljubanović to explore the collection with us. The aim was to use the artist's eye to make an initial pre-selection for a second excerpt from the Klocker Collection.
