Anemona Crisan / Space Intruders
UGM Studio, Trg Leona Štuklja 2
Opening: Friday, 10 July 2015, at 19:00

A hour before the exhibition opening, at 18:00, the Austro-Romanian artist and author of the exhibition will perform a guided tour through the exhibition in English. You are kindly invited!

Anemona Crisan’s works range from drawings on paper and canvas to space invading site specific installations, which she has made as temporary or permanent art and architecture projects in different spaces, from galleries and museums to urban spaces.

The focus of her work is the human body and its connection to the surrounding architectural and urban space. By using linear and corporeal elements, like hair, vessels and muscles, she redefines, tilts and distorts the geometry and cleanness of architectural space. Her installations usually include the whole space (walls, ceilings and floors) and envelop the viewer in order to give him an unusual experience and unconventional perception of the relationship between body and space, by being literally within the artistic work.

At UGM Studio Anemona Crisan will execute a site specific installation that will invade the exhibition space and expand into the public space around the studio thus opening the art space to a vaster public. 

Anemona Crisan was born in Bucharest in 1980 and moved to Austria in 1991. She graduated in Art History at the University of Vienna in 2007 and in visual Art and Cultural Studies at the Academy of fine Arts Vienna in 2011. She currently lives and works in Vienna as a visual artist. She has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions and received many awards for her work. As Artist in Residence she worked in Budapest, Beijing and Arlberg Hospiz, where she received the award Red Carpet for young artist. Her latest solo exhibitions include „Intervention“, a site specific installation at Museum Ferdiandeum, Innsbruck and „Inwards“, a site specific installation at Zacheta – National Gallery of Art, Warsaw.

YOU ARE KINDLY INVITED!
