Elisabeth Wild
Imagination Factory

May 5, 2023 to January 7, 2024

The turbulent biography of Elisabeth Wild reads like a recap of the twentieth century. Marked by flight and displacement, national identification and disidentification, her life seemed constantly to hit the reset button. This is not least evident in her oeuvre, which is highly diverse in terms of the media she used—including painting, sculpture, and textile design as well as collages and subsequent installations. mumok presents her first retrospective exhibition, turning the spotlight on her late works as well as her previously unknown early works.

Curator Marianne Dobner and art educator Mikki Muhr give a video tour of the artist's first comprehensive retrospective, which focuses on her late work as well as her unknown early work. Video in German.

In the video, artist Agnes Fuchs and Christian Höller, author and editor of springerin magazine, guide you through the exhibition Agnes Fuchs. Her Eyes Were Green. Video in German.

Artist Talk

Jesse Stecklow
Terminal

May 20 to September 25, 2022

The collection, analysis, and circulation of ecological data, often invisible to the human eye, is at the core of Jesse Stecklow’s artistic practice. The Los Angeles-based artist (b. 1993) works with a precisely defined repertoire of objects that oscillate between image, text and sound. His sculptures enter into a dialogue with their surrounding environment, effectively confusing the boundaries of the work.

In the video, Jesse Stecklow talks about his work and his exhibition at mumok.
