Oswald Egger
Alinea - January 25 until February 22, 2025

 

The gallery is closed until the opening of the exhibition with works by Oswald Egger on 25 January. Visits are possible by appointment.

Opening: Saturday 25 January, 4 - 7 pm

We are looking forward to the first solo exhibition with Oswald Egger. He was awarded the Büchner Prize in 2024 for his outstanding writing skills. His books are not only places where he finds his words, but also his images. This exhibition is dedicated to them.

"My books are - complementary to the text - interspersed with illustrations, drawings, watercolours, figures and their necessary constellation. It is almost impossible to determine which compartments are to be attributed to the illustrative images and figures and which to the textual ground. The illustrations can even be understood as a form of writing in which images constantly replace the words and facts or accompany them word for word, the silent, constant action and externalisation of a multitude of glances, internal and fleeting: All of the pictures were originally drawn for a specific book, for the purpose of gesturally scanning the pages and texts. Increasingly, however, the figures dispose of this level of determination; the schemes, images and figures separate themselves from their ground and blur into their closest surroundings to reality, separated, they detach themselves from the real world in the world like free, radical exfoliations and thus float into images like these: as an unimaginable trust in intuition, which not only knows how to intertwine the boundaries of the unhidden or the invisible, but will inevitably continue to draw them, Alinea, deciphering them." (Oswald Egger)
