Curator's Desktop
A tidy desk? Not a chance. Too much good photography everywhere. It must no doubt be shown, or at least written about! When someone like curator and author Ruth Horak has been talking about photographs for the last 20 years 鈥� their backgrounds and contexts, their status as works of art or forms of communication 鈥� a cluttered desk is the precursor of every exhibition, every text, every reading. For the summer exhibition, she has put together her current "objects of desire", works by Austrian and international artists distinguished by a particular pictorial language or an unusual view of everyday life.
