Joseph Maurus Wandinger. Malerei, Skulptur und Installation

In the organizer's words:

In his work, Joseph Maurus Wandinger combines different disciplines and develops expansive installations that deal with the core and meaningful questions of art and society and their systems. To this end, he uses materials whose specific contexts are provocative: Opium, ivory, ebony or tea provide an impetus for an examination of themes such as participation, collective proceeds, guilt and the use of resources. The objects show his adept handling of the material and, in the context of the installation, serve as mediators and carriers in the space. Paintings, some of them large-format, with which he irritates the viewer, stand in contrast to the objects and form their landscape, façade or light source. Based on the sculptural process in the studio, two-dimensionality and illusion merge into an independent formal language.
