Concern. Annual Exhibition 2015

Opening: Fr, 11 December 2015, 8 pm

For the annual exhibition 2015 Severin Dünser was entrusted with selecting the artwork for the annual exhibition of the members of the Salzburger Kunstverein.

Art’s social value was reflected in its tendency to give shape to the present and to set new ideas in motion. We might identify the point of departure for artistic production as that of concern. This is therefore what the 2015 annual members’ exhibition was devoted to: Which concerns are the artist members of the Salzburger Kunstverein presently dealing with? And how are these concerns manifested in artworks? This exhibition tried to assemble works mirroring the complexity of individual concerns and artistic practices revolving around the Kunstverein.

Artists: Erwin Auer, Bernhard Cella, Peter Fritzenwallner, Erich Gruber, Gerhard Himmer, Simon Iurino, Stefan Klampfer, Nathalie Koger, Anna Meyer, Amy Oestlund, Felix Pöchhacker, Markus Proschek, Bernhard Resch, Anja Ronacher, Anna Schwarz, Annelies Senfter, Tom Streit

Curator: Severin Dünser
