The AnzenbergerGallery presents the Australian artist Kurt Sorensen and the Austrian artist Daniela Koeppl with landscape photographs of their home countries. What significance does land have in times of climate crisis and war? How do people treat the land, cultivate it and try to control it? While Kurt Sorensen traces the origins of the landscape before the settlement of Australia, Daniela Köppl explores the cultivated landscape in the form of hills. The differences could not be greater than between these two countries. A visual approach.

Regina Anzenberger »Gstettn«
at AnzenbergerGallery
Absberggasse 27, 1100 Vienna
Opening hours: Wed - Fri 12 to 6 pm or by appointment
At the Collector’s Room we are showing new works from the series GSTETTN by Regina Anzenberger within the frame of the first Klima Biennale Wien.
Gstettn is a place of wilderness and freedom, a plot of land waiting to be used for housing and that has been taken over by nature in the meantime. From 2017 to 2021, Regina Anzenberger set about capturing the essence of this small piece of land just behind the Anker bakery. Flats for 3000 people will be built now, where once the buildings of Europe's largest bread factory stood.
With her photographs, which are painted over, extended by drawings and augmented with found objects, the artist has captured the natural experience of Gstettn in the seven chapters Winter Flowers, Nature Planets, The Illusion of Summer, Native Grounds, The Reconquest of Nature/6 Columns, Snails and Frost. In her works, Regina blurs the boundary between object and reality and takes us on an adventure.
