Constructing Paradise exhibits contemporary reinterpretations of notions of the "exotic" by artists based in Austria or the United States. Taking iconic artworks such as Paul Gauguin's Noa Noa and Oskar Kokoschka's Tiger Cat as starting points, the show assembles a diverse range of work from early contemporary to more recent artistic responses to the modernist imprint of desire and fantasy on contemporary culture. Particularly when juxtaposed with hyperbolized images of modern-day advertising, the exhibition explores the psychological impacts of the modernist image on image culture and the Western psyche.

Post-Mortem
This exhibition joins the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the publication of literary Utopia of Thomas More in 1516. Since then, the very word utopia has become a fundamental concept to name the construction of a philosophical thought that challenges the very meaning of history and builds an intangible ideal of perfection and complete harmony. However, while the moral genealogy of the utopia concept is based on an anthropocentric vision of the world, this project is grounded on the realization of the need to activate subjective forms of understanding reality. Utopia becomes, then, the energy that can take us to new ways of experiencing and establishing a relationship with today?s social and political landscape. The idea of an intangible utopia confronts us with a wide range of possible ways to explore the world and the uncertainty of this search brings us closer to sensory and poetic forms inscribed in the margins between fiction and reality.
This group of artworks and artists propose narratives open to different interpretations anchored on the strength of the actions and the power of the objects and their form. The exhibition aims to reflect on the possibility of finding an underground utopia in the common search of the natural, social and political, inviting an analysis of the tensions between the ideal and the everyday.
