Brunch & Artist Talk led by Elsy Lahner (Albertina Vienna) with Blanca Amorós on March 15, 2025 from 11 am to 3 pm.
Found photographs, vintage household catalogs and old encyclopedias serve as the source material for Blanca Amoró's paintings. Through her work, the artist uncovers the ideologies underlying the photographs. With a satirical eye, her paintings playfully criticize historical ideas about gender roles, with particular attention to the role of women as care givers. The hodgepodge of found photographs, combined with Amorós' work, replicates familiar images that resonate in the viewer's visual memory. They invite the audience to reflect on the absurdity of cultural narratives that shape our identity. They reveal how we adapt to social norms.

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.
