Collectors Agenda

In the Studio Liliane Lijn, London

Although Liliane Lijn might best be known for her “kinetic art”, her artistic scope goes far beyond movement. Since the 1960s, Lijn has pioneered a new way of working with a multitude of materials, from plastics to minerals, exploring the intersection between language and image.

In the Studio Ali Cherri, Paris and Beirut

Ali Cherry’s practice consists of video installations, drawings, sculptures and films. Exploring different geographies of violence, the Lebanese artist based in Paris often works with broken and damaged artefacts of history. Traumatic experiences of violence are not something to be hidden, but instead used as fuel for contemplating the future.

In the Studio Huda Takriti, Vienna

Huda Takriti was born in Syria, where she studied art at the University of Damascus. Working as a trans-disciplinary artist, Takriti uses video, film, installation, painting and performative situations to challenge traditional perceptions of history and politics.

Collector Stories Christina Steinbrecher-Pfandt, Vienna

A day without art is almost impossible to imagine in the life of Christina Steinbrecher-Pfandt. For years she has been a collector of contemporary art and calls the international art arena her home. We met the former artistic director of viennacontemporary and spoke with her why art and collecting holds a particular allure for her, and the impact social media are making on the art market.

The exhibition Mapping the 60s is based on the thought that substantial sociopolitical movements of the twenty-first century have their roots in the 1960s. Black Lives Matter and #MeToo, for example, have built on the anti-racist and feminist upheavals of yesteryear—as have current debates on war, mass media and mechanization, consumerism, and capitalism.

The German artist duo Anna and Bernhard Blume are internationally renowned for their black and white photographs. The duo staged performative actions and captured them on camera. Most are bizarrely arranged domestic scenes. The two artists are the performers themselves, she with a perm, wig, and a neat dress, he in a small checked suit and hat. With irony and humor, the Blumes counteract gender patterns, roles, and clichés as well as bourgeois codes of behavior.
