MARTHA JUNGWIRTH / EVA SCHLEGEL
Asia Experience
15 November 2017 – 18 January 2018
Martha Jungwirth and Eva Schlegel are bound to each other by their passion for Asia. A multifaceted and impressive serie of works resulted from Martha Jungwirth’s trip to Cambodia and Indonesia. Eva Schlegel’s participation in the Kochi Biennial 2016 was an important event to reflect on her past examination of this heterogeneous continent. Both artists reflect on their personal relationship to this landscape, culture and art.
Martha Jungwirth (born in Vienna in 1940) studied at the University of Applied Arts of Vienna in the class of Prof. Carl Unger. She taught in the same school between 1967 and 1977 and later at the International Summer Academy in 1991 and the Summer Academy in Berlin in 1992. Martha Jungwirth’s passions are traveling and watercolor painting. In her case, they are closely connected. Jungwirth’s works have nothing representational about them. They do not aim at reproducing visible reality, and yet they are far more than free variations or fantasies on a given theme. Jungwirth paints neither reality nor after reality; she paints her reaction to reality Some of her major solo and group exhibitions include: Rendezvous – Meisterwerke aus der Sammlung Essl, Essl Museum. Kunst der Gegenwart, Klosterneuburg/Vienna, AT, 2016 (GA), Paros 2015, Galerie Krinzinger Showroom, Vienna, AT, (2016), Die achtziger Jahre in der Sammlung des MUSA, Musa, Vienna, AT (2015), (GA) Wirklichkeiten, Museum Liaunig, Neuhaus, DE, 2015 (GA), Martha Jungwirth, Galerie Krinzinger, Vienna, AT, (2015), Martha Jungwirth.
