Fellner Wratzfeld & Partner (fwp) is once again organising the kunstakt art project together with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and opening up its offices for works of art and creative exchange. This year's exhibition is entitled "Love Beyond" and deals with the issue of aspects of love beyond geographical, social or emotional borders.

As part of the official opening, fwp's clients and longstanding business partners had the opportunity to meet the eight participating artists in this year's kunstakt exhibition in person and to talk to them about their works. Around 140 guests attended the official opening in fwp's Schottenring offices to celebrate the start of 26/kunstakt. The manifold works will shape the law firm's offices for a year and provide new impetus for exchange, encounter and reflection.

The artistic works of the "Love Beyond" exhibition portray love as a connecting force that doesn't eliminate differences but rather acknowledges them. Tenderness, solidarity and resistance are interwoven in the works on display and open up new perspectives on social transformation and community spirit.

The curators of this year's exhibition were once again Veronika Dirnhofer and Philip Patkowitsch, both from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. "Through Love Beyond we want to create a space in which love is seen not as a purely personal feeling but rather as social and political practice. The works on display show how profoundly art can play a part in social negotiation processes", says Veronika Dirnhofer.

"kunstakt is a project that has been close to our hearts for many years" explains Markus Fellner, partner at fwp. "It creates a platform for young artists to present themselves to a wider audience and combines both legal and art perspectives in an inspiring way."

Through the kunstakt exhibition fwp and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna have been building a bridge between law and art for over 20 years. This project offers young artists the space to exhibit their works and reflect on social issues through creative forms of expression.

The exhibiting artists of 26/kunstakt are Chien Yu Lin, Ju Aichinger, Kweku Okokroko, Lisa Breyer, Lotti Brockmann, Maria Pylypenko, Natalia Del Mar Kašik and Thyra Wanvig.
