Vienna, Albertina modern: »The Beauty of Diversity«
The art WORLD is more
From February 16, the ALBERTINA MODERN in Vienna celebrates the diversity of its collection and the diversity of the art world: The Beauty of Diversity focuses on artists who tend to be neglected in the general canon.
February 14, 2024
This year's spring exhibition at ALBERTINA MODERN is dedicated to the abundance of human creativity and origins: The Beauty of Diversity brings together the beautiful, the grotesque and the repressed. Autodidacts and trained artists from all continents are producing complex art that is well worth seeing, which questions or complements Eurocentric ideals or breaks new ground in unexpected ways. The mixture of exhibits from different decades and continents creates new perspectives on the term »art world«. The exhibition runs from February 16 to August 18 in Vienna.
The ALBERTINA MODERN presents exhibits from the museum's own collection that have been created outside the well-known and much-discussed art canon of famous Renaissance painters and modern artists. The exhibition includes works by Sungi Mlengeya, Amoako Boafo, Verena Bretschneider, the Gelitin group of artists, August Walla, Cindy Sherman, Cecily Brown, Jadé Fadojutimi, Jean Dubuffet, Miriam Cahn, Alexandre Diop and Franz Ringel.

»The 80s: Photographing Britain«
It was one of the most moving decades in the history of the United Kingdom: the 1980s, characterized by strikes, protests and AIDS. Photographers documented this period and in some cases became political activists themselves through their images. The exhibition The 80s: Photographing Britain opens on November 21 at the Tate Britain in London.

Guido Klumpe
In search of poetry in urban spaces
It is in the context of functional architecture in urban spaces that Guido Klumpe finds the motifs that he stages with his camera as the poetry of the profane. His picturesque images unfold an opulent effect with a reduced formal language, showing us the beauty of the moment in the flow of everyday life.
