Exposing the Future – Part III

My sincere thanks to everyone who joined and supported the recent events in Vienna.

Exposing the Future – Part III    Galerie Hollerei, Vienna

Thank you for being part of the opening of the final chapter of Exposing the Future: Synthesis of Being Human, a project reflecting on coexistence and the question: WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE TO YOU? How does a human coexist with another human? What, if anything, would you expose about the future in the current present?

The exhibition brings together six artistic positions from Austria and Slovenia and has evolved through Velenje, Nova Gorica, and now Vienna. The participating artists, bringing to think about the future and what aspects they would choose to expose … are Maša Jazbec Mikkel, Eva Petrič, Paola Korošec , Maria Grün, Sissa Micheli and Thomas Riess.

Special thanks to curators Milena Koren Božiček and Tanja Prusnik for their vision and dedication, to Galerie Hollerei and to Andre Stolzlechner for their hospitality, and to Clemens Kneringer for the photographic documentation and unique views.

At Exposing the Future – Part III, I felt how the question of being human is never abstract—it lives in the fragile, fleeting exchanges between us. In the light passing through my Earthling and in the relational tension of its different forms and sizes, it is always about connection—about what happens in-between.

At Exposing the Future – Part III in Galerie Hollerei, my Earthling took form across scales and contexts—a shadow of the human figure, translated into the pattern language of Idrija lace and embedded into plexiglass.

From a life-sized rotating figure to a cube of just one cubic centimetre—this smallest form having spent a year aboard the International Space Station—and now continuing its journey: this year, in a plexiglass cylinder of half a centimetre, it will travel with the LifeShip mission on the ASTRO LAB rover to the Moon, where it will remain.

Alongside this, I present works from the series Gr@y Matter – Language of Shadows, where shadow is not absence, but a carrier of memory, presence, and transformation.

The exhibition remains on view until mid-June—warmly welcome to visit.
