22/kunstakt

"In light of the world’s ambiguity, a compass is useless" is the motto of this year’s 17th kunstakt exhibition, a motto which students and graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts have drawn their inspiration from in preparing an exhibition for our law firm. This motto calls for more space to be given to irregularity, contrariness and ambiguity, and a move away from the tendency towards categorisation and clear-cut compartmentalisation. The exhibition hosted in fwp’s premises presents works by eight young artists who find ways to give artistic expression to their very own parameters of acting and thinking in a variety of images, forms and materials, thus creating space for ambiguity.

Once again this year the young artists took individual and very personal approaches in dealing with our age and its issues, and created equally diverse, complex and interesting works of art. In addition, their goal this year was once again to create works of art intended to inspire insights, discovery and discussion among onlookers amid the interplay between the law firm fwp, art, and society as a whole.

The kunstakt exhibition has been successfully building bridges between art and law since 2005 with the aim of presenting and promoting young artists from the Academy of Fine Arts. Within its scope, the artists work on a specifically chosen topic that has a strong reference to law. Domains characterised by rationality such as systems of order, systemic structures and controlling were already examined and manifested in the form of individual works of art. The diverse art works give an insight into the way contemporary young Austrian artists see art and they provide unconventional perspectives of the legal system.
