Momentum

On the art of stopping time

Flavia Bigi

Sissa Micheli

Francesca Romana Pinzari

Thomas Riess

Peter Senoner

18. 10. 2025 - 12. 04. 2026

In a present flooded with images, many things seem fleeting – visual art, on the other hand, creates moments of calm, captures moments, and allows thoughts, feelings, and themes to emerge that carry a timeless quality. The exhibition MOMENTUM brings together works by five artists from Italy and Austria, each exploring the concepts of temporality and human existence in diverse ways.

Flavia Bigi explores the self, time, and space through engraved alabaster spheres, drawings, and performative photographs. Sissa Micheli captures moments invisible to the human eye, freezing them in photographs while playing with presence, absence, and materiality. Francesca Romana Pinzari transforms botanical remnants into crystalline objects and shapes delicate hair-bodies that seem to belong to another era. Thomas Riess combines figurative and abstract elements into dreamlike images that question perception and identity. Peter Senoner creates enigmatic beings in sculptures and paintings, blurring the lines between human, machine, and avatar.

In their diversity, the works reveal how art shapes the fleeting, the changeable, and the timeless, making them sensually perceivable.

Sujet KO KU WA

KO KU WA
together in between

Leopold Kogler

Hans Kupelwieser

Manfred Wakolbinger

27. 09. 2025 - 29. 03. 2026

Three well-known names in one space: KO KU WA – a title that speaks for itself. It’s been a long time coming, and now the moment has arrived: the first joint exhibition of the three artists – and not least of all the three friends – Leopold Kogler, Hans Kupelwieser, and Manfred Wakolbinger. A special coming together among friends, for which they have chosen none other than the spacious main exhibition hall of the Angerlehner Museum.

Divided into three sections, the artists, working closely together, provide insights into their current work, which ranges from painting to sculpture to photography. Hans Kupelwieser presents large-format photograms in conjunction with his latest sculptures – an interplay between depiction and objectivity. With his paintings, Leopold Kogler creates an intense color space that oscillates between abstraction and reference to nature. Manfred Wakolbinger's metal sculptures create an impressive spatiality between physical presence and transcendent form.

KO KU WA is more than an exhibition; it is a precise placement in the tension field of the in-between. This concept of the in-between is not only explored in terms of content, but also made tangible through the spatial constellation and artistic difference. Above all, however, it is the climax and a plea for the long-standing friendship of these three artists, who are always connected in the in-between.

CLAUS PROKOP

repetition as difference

17. 05. - 07. 09. 2025

With Repetition as Difference, the Museum Angerlehner presents the first solo museum exhibition by Austrian artist Claus Prokop. The focus is on his latest works on aluminum, in which the artist unfolds a complex interplay of repetition and variation, multiplying geometric forms and condensing them into visually multifaceted pictorial compositions through overlays and deliberate rhythmic disruptions.

Prokop's works are not a mere juxtaposition of forms, but rather precisely conceived pictorial systems. The method of repetition in these works is not seen as a static principle, but rather as a strategy of difference – a process in which each form opens up a new relationship to the whole.

Repetition as Difference offers unique insight into Claus Prokop's artistic practice, in which the principle of seriality unfolds not only structures within the image, but also spaces of experience outside. In this expanded understanding, painting becomes a spatial configuration, structure an open order, and repetition a medium of difference.
