Intro

It is our pleasure to cordially invite you to an exhibition tour with Ulrich Becker, curator Cultural History Collection, who will be in dialogue with Anna Voswinckel, curator of the exhibition Alexandra Leykauf: Prospect, on April 11, 2024, at 5 p.m.

For her first solo exhibition in an Austrian venue, the artist draws on research into the local painting collections of the Graz Museum, the Neue Galerie Graz, and the Styrian History Museum; reproductions of the pictures found there were greatly enlarged for the show and installed in the exhibition space as image panels. This gives rise to walk-through pictorial spaces, which the artist combines with numerous video works and with a series of framed (artist) portraits. The latter, based on reproductions of iconic landscape paintings from the nineteenth and twentieth century, were photographically created through direct exposure.
