Eröffnung: Freitag, 8. April 2016, 19 Uhr

The exhibition takes as its starting point Anu Vahtra’s recently published artist’s book “Untitled”. The book documents ten of her projects which by combining photography and large-scale spatial installation deal with space and its characteristics, the border between the second and the third dimension. For the exhibition at Kjubh Kunstverein Vahtra presents a proposal for a new spatial narrative focusing on the idea of a blank page. The title of the exhibition refres to the empty space intentionally included in the book.

Anu Vahtra (b. 1982) is an emerging Estonian artist who is renowned for her artistic approach to site-specific space-oriented problematics and for the diligent methods of articulating them. Her installations, which often include the medium of photography, capture the surrounding space into itself, making the site become both the subject and the physical form of the artwork. Furthermore, she is one of the founders of Lugemik Publishing and Bookshop, and is also the winner of Köler Prize 2015 grand prix.

Anu Vahtra is represented by Chimera-Project Gallery (Budapest, Hungary).
