The art of travel

On Friday September 19th at 5 to 7 pm Black Box Gallery opens its second exhibition in Linz on Marienstrasse 4. The exhibition is called "The Art of Travel" and will feature 8 artists from 5 countries. The theme of travel is organised so that the viewer is led through the exhibition as though on a travel of her own. The artworks include a wide range of media from painting to a video projection. The exhibition will be open from the 20th of September through the 28th from 1 pm to 6 pm.

The exhibited artists come from six different countries and include: Kimberly Horton (DE/US), Morgens Jacobsen, (DK), Mette Kit Jensen (DK), Eduardo Kac (US), Elitsa Velikova (BG), Manfred Kielnhofer (AT), Nam June Paik (KR), Signe Vad (DK)

Black Box Gallery is based in Copenhagen and with the opening of the gallery in Linz Black Box has become multinational. The main focus of the gallery is on new media art and this is the reason for establishing a department in Linz, the home of Ars Electronica. The gallery artists work in a variety of media from digital art through bio-art. One of the focuses of the gallery is art in the public space and the gallery sees it as a challenge to help artists working in this way generate an income. The gallery sees itself as a meeting place for people interested in the art of its focus and hopes to be point of departure for contacts between people in general and artists in particular. In the future the audience can expect events includin lectures, performances and screenings.
