Between Water and Light - Summer Exhibition

Greetings from the summer resort – or ...colorful greetings from Bad Ischl. The Gmundner Kunstverein started five years ago with major regional projects. Alongside the annual Gmundner Kunstspazierer at Seeschloss Ort and the charity vernissage at the k-hof Kammerhofmuseum, additional exhibition formats have been established in recent years. Summer exhibitions at hospitality venues, presence at the Gmundner Mondscheinbummel, as well as international trade fair participations followed. New in the association's portfolio are themed group exhibitions in prestigious locations throughout the Salzkammergut – this year in Bad Ischl, next year in the Hipp-Halle in Gmunden. From August 17 to 30, the association invites visitors to a members' and themed exhibition at the Trinkhalle in the heart of the imperial town. "Between Water and Light" – between the Traun, the mountains, and the squares and little squares in the heart of the Salzkammergut – the association offers a small but refined insight into the work of the studios and workshops around the Traunsee. Works will be shown by association members Jürgen Bley, Christine Danninger, Matthias Kretschmer, Inge Kreuzer, Christine Pahl, Christopher Schlesinger, Andrea Sevc, Wolfgang Weisz, Günther Wimmer, Karen Zierler, and guest artist Liudmila Sadoghi. The vernissage is scheduled for the Emperor's Birthday on August 18; the exhibition can be visited during the Trinkhalle's opening hours. The works are, of course, available for purchase. The exhibition theme "Between Water and Light" was already chosen in the spring, without any premonition that this summer would be characterized by too little water and too much light – meaning sunshine and hot temperatures. Nonetheless, the mission of the summer exhibition remains: contemporary art meets a historic setting. In a summer of art, culture, history, and far too hot temperatures. www.gmundnerkunstverein.at
