At the heart of this exhibition lies the potential of collaboration – a spark that turns disconnection into creation. Here, artists explore humanity’s fragile ties to nature, the layers of self/ves and histories, and the intricate relationship between technology and ecology. Themes of belonging, separation, and communication emerge, woven together against a hyper-globalized world marked by persistent crisis and fragmentation. What may initially seem fractured transforms, as separate voices harmonize into the polyphony of a cohesive whole, inviting us to uncover connections within complexity. Through this interplay, the exhibition encourages a re-examination of how we relate to each other and our environment, ultimately celebrating the strength that emerges from our collective experiences on the common grounds we all share.

DUALITY is the first exhibition in Austria by the Franco-Mexican sculptor Eloise Ettore, featuring a human-scale steel sculpture, that interacts with the gallery space and invites the visitor to explore its tridimensional reality emerg- ing from around and within the artwork.

Thaer Maarouf's painterly works deal with moments of introspection in which the artist subjects the self to abstracting formations in order to intensify the presence of the body. Body and thoughts are shaped by external influences that affect our actions and thus jeopardize the independence of the self. This “infiltration,” as the artist titles the exhibition, has an impact on our mental health by limiting the individual's ability to act. Maarouf therefore calls one series of his paintings “Brainless”, referring to the manipulability through media and politics. Another series is entitled “Hand and Brain,” in which the brain is linked to all actions and activities that involve our hands, among others.

In this exhibition, Tyrone Egbowon explores the seven deadly sins through a dual perspective that reflects both the social and personal dimensions of human nature. This behavioral observation examines how internal attitudes influence outward behavior and shape the social fabric, as well as how an inward gaze highlights sins characterized by personal indulgence and physical desire, such as gluttony, lust, and sloth. Egbowon’s choice of abstracted symbols play a crucial role in guiding the viewer’s perspective, subtly influencing how one perceives and engages with these complex themes. His artworks address the challenges of self-discipline and the inner balance disrupted by the constant dance between sin and virtue.
