Solo
Since 2010 the FOTOGALERIE WIEN has put on an annual solo exhibition showcasing the work of a young, upcoming artist. This series of exhibitions, SOLO, functions as a platform and springboard for artists who are at the beginning of their career but who already have an extensive body of work that we want to present to a wider public. The aim is to achieve a sustainable level of public presence for the chosen artist and includes helping to organize cooperations and touring shows.

We are pleased to present the artist Johannes Raimann for SOLO XV. He studied in Vienna and Düsseldorf and now works in both cities.
We daily operate with and within apparatus: locomotor apparatus, state apparatus but also photographic apparatus. Johannes Raimann’s exhibition turns a space into an apparatus. […] -

We are pleased to present the artist Laura Sperl at Bildraum 01 in Vienna for SOLO XIV.
The most recent works by Laura Sperl are non-representational and yet they carry definite traces of something sprayed, that ran, and they have velvety surfaces, torn photo-paper edges and large expanses of blue and rust red. […] -

Just one small scratch is sometimes enough to irritate the eye and turn a surface into an image. Bastian Schwind’s works are not photographs in a conventional sense but explorations and playful engagements with the materiality of photography and its practices and processes. […]

Anja Nowak works with indefinite beginnings and on inconceivable ends, moves out(side) of what is accessible, outside of what is. As such, BLEISTIFT AUF PAPIER AUF HOLZ (PENCIL ON PAPER ON WOOD) does not begin with nor draw upon but denies the beginning the outcome. Always in-the-midst-of, it is without midst; it has, perhaps, always to do with an among, a/s passing, always already, always with the step inside. […]

Peter Hoiß’s work is cross-media and encompasses photography, installation and video. In this exhibition, he shows an insight into his artistic cabinet of curiosities of things that for him belong to the way of seeing. In doing so he breaks with conventional ways and enhances our attention to concentrate on the connections of the medium of photography with other means of artistic expression. […]

In her photo and video works Olena Newkryta does not look for the „reality“ of the world in reproducing images but in the discrepancy between presence and absence. She is involved with moments of closeness and disappearance and translates these into abstract pictures. One recurring motif is the vestige as materialised contact of light with the photo material and equally, as remaining impression of a body. […]

30. January 2018 — 3. March 2018
Robert Bodnar experiments with the medium of photography on a very fundamental level. The benchmark of his interest is even clear in his choice of subject matter – the search for appropriate forms of representation for planetary movements, time or light by which he makes the inextricable entanglement of these phenomena visible and almost palpable. […]

31. January 2017 — 4. March 2017
In recent years Christina Werner has become increasingly concerned with the effects of globalisation and especially with current migration issues, the resurgence of nationalism and questions of representation. In her first comprehensive retrospective she is presenting four projects, one of which, the large scale work Something Is Always Left Behind is a new combination of two pre-existing projects, Neues Europa and The Boys Are Back . […]

In her SOLO show for the FOTOGALERIE WIEN, Freuis is presenting an overview of the various approaches to her room interventions. Here, she is interested in questions about how rooms can be repeatedly transformed or reduced but nevertheless remain either recognisable as what they are or in some cases become unrecognisable. She instigates new perceptions of space and manages to maintain a lively discourse that opens up new avenues of approach. […]

17. February 2015 — 21. March 2015
For SOLO VI we have invited Thomas Albdorf. The artist, is concerned with the relationship between sculpture and photography. His photographs are based on minimalist sculptural arrangements which are partly accentuated with colour and with interventions in both urban and natural environments. […]

Lea Titz (*1981 in Graz/AT, lives and works in Vienna) studied under Gabriele Rothemann at the Vienna University of Applied Arts and graduated in 2009. In SOLO V, in order to examine the reciprocal relationship of different methods of depiction and description, she is showing an extensive selection of photographs and videos which also interface with other (art) disciplines such as sculpture, literature and statistics. In her conceptually developed pictures Titz is concerned with another way of seeing and another aesthetics and thus with achieving new experiences. […]

26. February 2013 — 27. March 2013
Markus Guschelbauer (*1974 in Friesach/AT, lives and works in Vienna) studied photography and visual arts under Gabriele Rothemann at the Vienna University of Applied Arts from 2003 to 2009. His work is concerned with the multi-layered relationship of nature and culture. In his installative landscape photography he works with, and significantly alters, nature, thus engaging with definitions of landscape. He does this using everyday materials which are, on the surface, foreign to the art world – like sheets of plastic or fabrics used for clothing. […]

12. April 2012 — 9. May 2012
For her SOLO exhibition in the FOTOGALERIE WIEN Katharina Cibulka has decided to concentrate on works related to the position of women and women artists in society. Numerous works – photographs, films, performances and texts – approach the issues of women/artists at the beginning of the twenty-first century who are engaged in an intense effort to achieve a balance between social expectations and demands and their own conception of happiness using poetics and irony, but also taking a position of critical distance. […]

1. March 2011 — 2. April 2011

Bilinovac studied at the School for Artistic Photography Vienna (Friedl Kubelka), the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and the Academy of Fine Arts Münster. […]

In the project badrutts palace & co, which will be shown in the larger exhibition space at the FOTOGALERIE WIEN, Corinne L. Rusch visits historically relevant Grand Hotels. In a specific way, these places house a flawless beauty as well as numerous stories. Since the 19th century, the rich and beautiful have had a meeting place in these hotel palaces, for example, in Kulmhotel, St. Moritz. Parties were celebrated there, the rich and beautiful were accommodated for weeks and months at a time, they let themselves be served, they engaged in sports, new love affairs began – intrigues were a daily occurrence.
