I continued to Salzburger Kunstverein, where a curatorial exhibition “Manners of Matter” curated by Chris Sharp.

“Sculpture is something you bump into when you back up to look at painting”

Ad Reinhardt 

‘Manners of Matter’ draws upon a few works of art frhttp://www.salzburger-kunstverein.atom different epochs of the twentieth century as well as more contemporary positions in order to engage what could be considered the most fleeting and mutable form of materiality in a digital age, the body. The exhibition takes Ad Reinhardt’s famous quip as its point of departure and stands it on its head in order to consider issue of materiality and corporeality, transience and presence….

artists: Ester Kläss, Bruce McLean, Alina Szapocznikow, Michael Dean, Jean-Luc Moulene, Ulla von Brandenburg, Köji Enokura, Constantin Brancusi, Shimabuku
