MICHAELA KONRAD

PARALLEL VIENNA 2018 September 25th - 30th

Galerie Lisi Hämmerle, Bregenz, will present a GALLERY STATEMENT with Michaela Konrad who takes the viewer back to the golden 1950s. In her exhibition titles "CAN THIS BE TOMORROW" she shows a series of hand-printed fictional comic book covers in the style of American Golden Age comic books. Inspired by fantasists like Aldous Huxley, George Orwell, or Phillip K. Dick, she creates a past vision of current events.

In this short comic "Zeitreise" (time travel) which was published in the Austrian magazin "Literatur und Kritik" last month I tried to make a comparison between old NAZI propaganda slogans and the propaganda of Austria`s right wing populist party - every Austrian knows the slogans of the FPÖ for many, many years - because they have been printed on gigantic advertising posters. I was always wondering how it could be allowed to use such a xenophobic langue in public spaces in Austria - and asked myself why nobody really reacted - I guess we got used to it ...
For this small project I took some of the "harder" stuff of Austrian right wing poster texts and seached for counterparts of the 1930ies and 1940ies - and I put the new stuff into the old aesthetics in order to be able to compare the slogans without the distraction of modern day design ....

I am proud to be part of the wonderful group exhibition PRINT IT!, which will
open this evening, at 8pm in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
All of the artists in the show share a profound dedication to graphic art techniques...

Here is the full video of the Picasso animation.

Picasso was a big comic fan and created a number

of comic-like figures.

He regretted never having made one himself.....

Here are some photos of the group show "SANTA CRUZ SOBRE PAPEL"
in March 2017 in the Circulo de Bellas Artes in Santa Cruz in Tenerife.

I am happy to be represented in this group show of the
GALERIE AUGUSTIN, which is situated in the
city center of Vienna.

the exhibition runs from October 22nd to November 17th

In this painting you can see my heroe Olga with a floating Hypercubus. A Hypercubus is a 2-dimensional representation of an imaginary 4-dimensional geometric figure. If you know my serial SPACELOVE you already know that I am fond of the theory that higher dimensions exist.
