Art meets everyday life: A Suitcase brings New York to Klagenfurt!

In an exciting cultural merger, the creative works of 22 artists were brought to Klagenfurt as part of the “A Suitcase” project. It is a trip from New York to Vienna to the Carinthian capital, where the art scene comes alive. The organizer David Mase explained that the artists in New York learned a lot, among other things about the challenges of how difficult it is to be successful in a big city. "We were privileged to be able to exhibit in a gallery in Chelsea," remarked Mase and emphasized the value of the internationally oriented inspiration for domestic art.

The exhibition, which can be seen until December 15, 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 common picture of David Mase and Markus Riedler reflects secrets that are not only explained by the artist. Riedler said: "The story also happens in the viewer's head."

Sascha Mikl deals with the topics of garbage and responsibility and uses humor to reach the audience. Carinthian Daniel Sostaric documents the exhibition with analog, black and white photographs, which are in strong contrast to the fast-moving American art scene. "I wanted to find the smallest common denominator and choose the slow material," said Sostaric about his approach.

The exciting performance of "A Suitcase" on the St. Veiter Ring in Klagenfurt remains a platform for cultural exchange and exploration, which could promote understanding of art across geographical borders.
