Psychoanalysis: Modern Austrian Eyes
An exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with the exhibition "Psycho-Analysis: The Contemporary Austrian Perspective," held at the Contemporary Art Museum, Kumamoto from September 18 to November 28, 2010.
"Psychoanalysis: A Contemporary Austrian Perspective" introduces the appeal of contemporary Austrian photography and video expression through the theme of "body and architecture." The relationships between Vienna and other large cities, which continue to change and expand around the world, the architecture that makes up those cities, and the people who live there are not uniform, but rather each city is filled with the stories and history of its own region, giving it its own unique color. The six artists and one group of Austrian artists featured in this exhibition have taken up the relationship between the architecture and people around them in their works, and strangely enough, many of their works delve into the inner world of the people who live there. Many of the artists featured in the exhibition have homes outside of Vienna, such as in London and Los Angeles, and by living between cities, they have acquired a perspective that allows them to view the culture of each city in a relative context, which they reflect in their works. The artists' free perspectives will surely be highly suggestive for Japanese contemporary art. In addition, this exhibition also featuresSeiichi Furuyawas one of the project planners, and the exhibition also showcases one side of Furuya as an activist involved in the rise of Austrian photography in many ways. - From the exhibition PR
