Peter Kogler is one of Austria’s most important contemporary artists, renowned for his large-scale installations and digital artworks. His works are characterized by recurring, hypnotic patterns and graphic designs that often occupy and transform spaces and walls. Kogler employs modern technologies and digital media to create striking visual experiences. In his famous ant series, he explores themes such as connectivity and collective behavior, examining the relationship between the individual and the mass while visualizing complex, organic networks. Kogler’s ant series are a remarkable example of his ability to merge digital media with art to produce profound and visually captivating experiences.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to Peter Kogler.Wir bedanken uns herzlich bei Peter Kogler.
Hans Schabus, Inner Landscape, 2024
Screenprint, 48 cm × 33 cm
Hans Schabus is an Austrian contemporary artist known for his site-specific installations. His works transform spaces and explore the interplay of architecture, space, and socio-political contexts. Schabus creates new perspectives and invites viewers to rethink their perception of space.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Cardinal König Art Fund, Hans Schabus created an impressive installation in the Kollegienkirche Salzburg. This work, Inner Landscape, consists of multicolored, used carpet rolls sourced from various Salzburg institutions. The carpets, laid across the church, form a temporary network of pathways that contrasts strikingly with the church’s clear and formal architecture. In addition to this installation, Schabus also produced screenprints for the occasion, which are an integral part of the exhibition.
