Art meets everyday life: A Suitcase” brings New York to Klagenfurt!
“A Suitcase” opens on December 5, 2024 with 22 artists in Klagenfurt and shows the exchange between Vienna and New York.
Art meets everyday life: A Suitcase” brings New York to Klagenfurt!
In an exciting cultural fusion, the creative works of 22 artists were brought to Klagenfurt as part of the “A Suitcase” project. This is a journey from New York via Vienna to the Carinthian state capital, where the art scene comes to life. Organizer David Mase said the artists learned a lot in New York, including the challenges of how difficult it is to succeed in a big city. “We were privileged to be able to exhibit in a gallery in Chelsea,” noted Mase, emphasizing the value of international inspiration for local art.
Diverse works of art in Klagenfurt
The exhibition, which can be seen until December 15th, offers a variety of works that illustrate the creative connection between New York and the Austrian region. This is how the works of Gerhard Fresacher and Jake Brush meet directly. A joint painting by David Mase and Markus Riedler reflects secrets that are not explained by the artist alone. Riedler explained: “The story also happens in the viewer’s head.”
Sascha Mikl's work deals with the topics of garbage and responsibility and uses humor to reach viewers. The Carinthian Daniel Sostaric documents the exhibition with analogue, black and white photographs, which he sees as a stark contrast to the fast-moving American art scene. “I wanted to find the lowest common denominator and choose the slow material,” Sostaric said of his approach.
The exciting performance of “A Suitcase” at St. Veiter Ring in Klagenfurt remains a platform for cultural exchange and exploration that could promote understanding of art across geographical borders.
