We cordially invite you to the summer party on the occasion of the opening of Karla Black’s exhibition!
Karla Black‘s new work in the historic assembly hall of the Kunstraum Dornbirn is dense, pastel-coloured and inviting. The Scottish artist has created a landscape that invites you to wander, marvel and enjoy. Using everyday materials, some of which are unusual for art, she is able to create a space-filling combination of material, form and colour whose exhilarating experience appeals to all the senses. For Dornbirn, she has created a sculptural ensemble that is unique in terms of its size, which enters into a poetic interplay with the dimensions and the special lighting situation of the monumental hall.

Karla Black‘s artistic practice moves skilfully between worlds: She arranges her sculptural works into extraordinary spatial experiences. The range of her materials seems almost endless, as she not only draws on traditional art materials such as acrylic paint, pigment or plaster, but also incorporates any materials from everyday life that serve her purpose, such as plastic film, soap, make-up or cotton wool. In this unconventional practice, the Scottish artist (born in 1972) takes up the meanings and traditions inherent in the materials and affords us a special opportunity to see ourselves reflected in them.
For the exhibition in the former assembly hall of Kunstraum Dornbirn, Black has designed a site-specific compilation of her previous and new sculptures that incorporates both the special lighting of the space and its monumental dimensions.

The defining themes of Anna Hulačová’s œuvre are ecology and agriculture. Her drawings and sculptures – of processing machines, plants, animals and people – made of concrete, ceramics and wood take up the tense dualism between utopia and dystopia, which she develops from her core themes. The works are hybrid beings whose physicality and function are transformed, connected and merged into one another. Understanding yesterday in order to enter into dialogue with today and shape tomorrow is a central tenet of the Czech artist (born in 1984). This receives expression in her highly charged artistic language, which spins fictional narratives out of history, biology and ecology in a virtuoso manner.
For the exhibition at Kunstraum Dornbirn, Hulačová combines new works with previously existing ones to create a narrative specifically shaped for the space.
