Nana Mandl's solo exhibition, related issues, opens at the STRABAG Kunstforum on Thursday 30 January following her award of the STRABAG Main Art Prize 2024. We hope you will be able to join us for the Vernissage from 18:30 on Thursday 30 January.

Nana Mandl's works offer a pause in the accelerated image machine of mass and social media, immersing viewers in individual moments captured by a cellphone camera. The artist, born in Graz and having studied in Berlin and Vienna, explores with the sensually tactile materials she uses the seemingly insignificant details that unconsciously appeal to us, draw our attention, and possibly contradict the actual intention of the photo. As both figurative and abstract elements, Mandl translates these into digital prints and drawings on textiles and canvases, in overpaintings, collages, and embroideries. Sometimes, it is just pixelated remnants of information from which she develops her motifs, transferring them from the digital to the three-dimensional material realm or into installation arrangements. The textiles used by Mandl come from her personal collection, were gifted to her, or found at flea markets; dyeing and bleaching extend the palette of the colours provided. In terms of her materials, Mandl is committed to working with what already exists.
