Gallery Program

The Kerstin Engholm Gallery was founded in 1999 by Kerstin Engholm and then in 2004 turned into the Engholm Engelhorn Gallery, after Klaus Engelhorn had joined as an associate. Kerstin Engholm is directing the program.

The program focuses on the exchange of young Austrian and international artists with a strong conceptual approach working in different media. The gallery’s work is tightly connected with the artistic process of production and thus strives to achieve a high level in the mediation of art. The gallery also helps to produce room filling, museum like temporary installations and projects in close cooperation with the artist.

Most of the exhibitions originate in relation to the specific gallery location and instead of serving a consumerist approach, they usually confront the viewer with a specific intervention. Because of this approach the artists have the possibility of producing works of art, which could not be generated in their own production context. Along with solo shows the gallery also presents thematic group exhibitions discussing issues of art-critical relevance. Lectures, discussions and readings place the artworks in their political, scientific and social surroundings.

The Engholm Engelhorn Gallery aims at assisting and building up young Austrian artists, which was successfully achieved with Constanze Ruhm or Hans Schabus, this year’s representative of Austria at the Venice Biennial 2005. With his monumental mountain sculpture Schabus attracted a lot of attention and positioned himself as one of the most interesting Austrian artists in the international art scene.
A striking feature of the gallery is the open structure of its premises, which gives an insight into the daily business of an art gallery and also enhances an intensive debate with the visitors concerning the presented artwork.

Vienna offers a wide range of exhibitions in the visual arts sectors. Nevertheless the gallery succeeded in establishing close relationships with major museums and cultural institutions in Vienna and internationally. Moreover the Engholm Engelhorn Gallery managed to create a strong group of young Austrian collectors. Providing an individual and very dedicated program, the Engholm Engelhorn Gallery has become one of the most important platforms of the Austrian art market. Internationally as well as in the Viennese context, the gallery stands for a lasting promotion of complex, autonomous, artistic interventions.

The gallery has participated in various art fairs such as Art Basel Statements (2000, 2001), Art Basel Miami Beach (2004, 2005, 2006), Art Cologne (2002, 2004), Art Bruxelles (2002), Kunst Wien (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003), Artissima Turin (2002), Armory Show New York (2003, 2004), Viennafair (2005, 2006, 2007), Arco (2006).

The Engholm Engelhorn Gallery is marked by an open structure, the office and production areas being visible and accessible to the public, thus allowing some understanding of the daily work routine in a gallery, and also an impression of organisation structures within the art world.
