Collectors Agenda

In the Studio Jakob Lena Knebl and Ashley Hans Scheirl, Vienna

As a duo, Jakob Lena Knebl and Ashley Hans Scheirl have been realizing projects together since 2019. In their multimedia installations, they address contemporary issues in a bold and innovative, but also a humorous way. In doing so, they create spaces at eye level that allow for a playful engagement with their art and its inherent socio-political topics.

In the Studio Laëtitia Badaut Haussmann, Paris

Based in Paris, multi-disciplinary artist Laëtitia Badaut Haussmann explores an expanse of themes that range from feminism to domesticity, para-architecture to psychology. Focused on creating immersive, multilayered installations over individual, easily commodifiable art works, she often turns to literature and cinema to guide the extensive research that informs her practice.

In the Studio Haruko Maeda, Vienna/Linz

In her art, Japanese artist Haruko Maeda combines Shintō traditions from her home country with Western concepts. Thus, she approaches the theme of transience through religious iconography and symbols from different cultures and refers to works of the Renaissance and Baroque in terms of content and form.

Collector Stories Birgit Vollmeier and Yudi Warsosumarto of PEACH, Vienna

For more than seventeen years, Birgit Vollmeier and Yudi Warsosumarto, under the agency label PEACH, have worked strategically and creatively within the gallery scene. Passion for art is not solely defined through the agency’s services. For some time now, PEACH has run an “art window” in a vitrine in a store in Vienna’s sixth district and has become something of an institution in Vienna’s art and cultural scene. We spoke with Birgit and Yudi about the beginnings of this unusual agency and the deep connection of both founders with the art and cultural scene.

Nordic Notes
