SKULPTURINSTITUT
Everything we see could also be otherwise.
Everything we are able to describe could also be otherwise.
There is no order of things a priori.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
We consider ourselves as an open space in which class, discourse and exhibition come together and intertwine.
We are interested in the circumstance of sculpture, its environment, its materials, its structure, its form and the relations that emerge.
We understand sculpture as a tool to discuss society and vice versa.
We strive to sharpen our perception through the attempt to verbalize what we see, in a consequent manner.
The Skulpturinstitut was founded by Hans Schabus in the framework of a course at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Since 2014 the Skulpturinstitut is run as a project by the Department Sculpture and Space.

Beresin grew up surrounded by an impressive collection of art and objects that her father had amassed through obsessive collecting. This devotion gave her early access to a wide-ranging intellectual visual landscape. In addition, the counterculture of the 1960s, which seeped through the Iron Curtain, influenced her artistic sensibilities. Together with the communist reality, this background formed a fertile breeding ground for the development of Beresin's grotesque comedy, which is strongly characterised by an underlying melancholy. After graduating from the School of Fine and Applied Arts in Budapest, she moved to Vienna in 1976. In the early 2000s, she regularly exhibited in self-produced, transdisciplinary exhibition projects in various off-spaces in Vienna and the surrounding area. Beresin has been represented by Charim Galerie since 2015. This year, the gallery presented her examination of her mother's diary, which she kept after her liberation from Auschwitz. The book "Ninety-Eight Pages" was published by Verlag für moderne Kunst in 2015. Beresin has been represented by several international galleries since 2020. In 2022, the Albertina Museum acquired a selection of paintings and her first enlarged 3D print. The Albertina dedicated her first solo exhibition entitled "Thick Air" up through September 2024.

Ulrich Strothjohann, born 1954 in Rheda/Westphalia; 1975-1982 studied at the Berlin University of the Arts; 1982 master student; 1984 New York; 1985 - 2009 Cologne; 2006/2007 guest lecturer at the Berlin University of the Arts; from 2010 Berlin; from 2023 Berlin / Vienna. Exhibitions since 1991 in Graz, Cologne, Zurich, Kassel, Nice, Athens, London, Basel, Berlin, etc.
Ulrich Strothjohann first garnered attention as part of the Cologne art scene in the 1990s. Discretely and pointedly, he inscribes his works with tricks, produces ironic references, creates mysterious allegories, and take pleasure in misleading the viewer. Language and the written word are significant components of Strothjohann's art, dealing playfully with images and ideas.

Once there was a lamp
The lamp was a sculpture
The sculpture was made of polyesterWith its colorful weirdness
And the year was 1971
In 1981 we traveled to America
The flight had a delay
During the stay we saw people playing on a field
There was a lot of fog that day
The game was called baseball
etc.

Daniel Ferstl’s works defy categorization on various levels: painting meets sculpture, high meets low brow, classic composition meets kitschy extravaganza in the choice of motifs and materials. Pop cultural references range from 70s and 80s cult movies to contemporary gamer and meme culture. In his recent works, colorful fabrics are stretched onto frames with stuffed textile elements sewn onto them, giving the works a three dimensional quality. The painterly gesture is only present as a mediated remainder in the printed patterns of the fabrics Ferstl chooses for his backgrounds. On an immediate affective level, the silky, shiny, fluffy works are imbued with the kind of “cruel optimism” that keeps us attached to the dreams that deep inside we know might crush us in the end.
Daniel Ferstl, Austrian, born 1982, lives and works in Vienna, studied painting at the University of Applied Arts Vienna with Christian Ludwig Attersee. Exhibitions including at Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna (2015), New Jörg, Vienna (2015), Ve.Sch, Vienna (2015), Belvedere, Vienna (2016), Belmacz Gallery, London (2017 and 2019), Foundation, Vienna (2018), Zeller van Almsick, Vienna (2020), Austrian Cultural Forum, London (2020), Wonnerth-Dejaco, Vienna (2022), Belvedere 21 (2023), Albert Contemporary, Odense (2023), L21, Palma de Mallorca (2023).

Barbara Kapusta, born 1983, lives and works in Vienna. Her work is characterized by a long-standing preoccupation with the relationship between the body and language, and between materiality, language and architecture. Her textual works ground a very physical artistic practice that demonstrates that all things are endowed with agency, that all things in the linguistic-physical world are relational and queer, diverse and vulnerable. In her recent immersive four-channel sound installation The Fragiles Kapusta unfolds a science fiction narrative, reporting from an apocalyptic future telling of the grim consequences and entanglements of past and present ideologies. But speaking from an imagined future also raises the question of how we organize our community. How can we live together in the midst of disagreement, difference, and ambivalence?
Recent and upcoming exhibitions include Fragiles, Klosterruine Berlin (2023), WORDS DON’T GO THERE, Kunstverein Braunschweig (2023), The Palace of Concrete Poetry, Writers’ House, Tbilisi, (2022); Let your () do the talking, NAK Aachen (2022); Futures, Kunsthalle Bratislava (2022); Lo(l) – Embodied Language, Kunsthaus Hamburg (2022); Dissolving Matter & Value, Lothringer 13, Munich (2021); Enjoy, museum moderner kunst stiftung ludwig wien, Vienna (2021); Europa Antike Zukunft, Halle für Kunst Steiermark, Graz (2021); The Leaking Bodies Series, Gianni Manhattan Vienna (2020); Dangerous Bodies, Kunstraum London (2019), Hysterical Mining, Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna (2019), Empathic Creatures at Ashley Berlin (2018).

Space, endless expanses. In the swamps of Dornlockda the dark ruler stirs, the production of androids will continue to receive no attention, new materials are made from old matter, many drones are shot down and the next season is sure to come. It is no mistake to question things again, even if amply considered, but at some point a sediment should settle out of the whole mishmash in which one no longer sinks. I still have to take turns. The interval has slowed down and sometimes I have to remind myself not to neglect the sculpture.
The central work in this exhibition is a series of four female figures carved from oak, each carrying a bell. After having produced some sculptures that can be described as furniture and many other commissioned works, I wanted to carve these bodies to emphasize my preference for classical sculptures. In the working process, I tried to work on all of them at the same time, as simultaneous as possible. I was interested in repetition and reproduction, as well as trying to work economically, and my perception of time.
Then there is a diamond connection, also a theme that has preoccupied me for decades, and a small leftover commissioned work that I like.

Collecting archaic, easily accessible, often accidentally found material such as jute, terracotta, wood, and metal is characteristic of the work of Birke Gorm. Her sculptures convey a raw, appealing immediacy whose multilayered levels of meaning can be decoded upon closer inspection. By re-appropriating domestic labour processes — acts that have historically connoted unpaid work by women — the artist shows the potential, contained in the production and circulation of everyday objects, for the dismantling of patriarchal gender hierarchies.
Birke Gorm (b. 1986, Hamburg) lives and works in Vienna. Recent solo and duo exhibitions include 'dead stock' at MAK, Vienna (2023); 'routes and routines’ at Martina Simeti, Milan (w. Marie Lund); and ‘full stop' at Politikens Forhal, Copenhagen (2021). Upcoming and recent group exhibitions include Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler, Berlin; Museum Sønderjylland, Tønder (both 2023); mumok, Vienna; Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt am Main, and Kunsthalle Vienna (all 2022).

Chin Tsao’s (曹晶) practice encompasses sculpture, installation, music, performance, and new media. She is fascinated by material artificiality as a narration of human memory and history. Tsao's ceramics and porcelain works are inspired by historic styles such as Rococo and Art Deco. In her works, she creates an anachronistic setting to address the historic events between the East and the West, as well as the hybridization of the past and the future. Their appearance overlaps in our perception of time with the shifting identities of a post-globalized culture.
She obtained her MFA at University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Her works were exhibited at Kunsthalle WIen (AT), Nevven Gallery (SE), Galerie Martin Janda (AT). She has performed at Rote Bar/ Volkstheater Wien (AT) and mumok (AT). She also curated a series Vienna based event EPHEMEROS which aims to support emerging artists and queer-feminism community.
She now lives and works in Vienna
