Bärbel Praun,’office figure_11a’, from the series ‘office figures’, fine art print 29.7 x 21 cm, 2020

Six times a year b a s e m e n t transforms from an artist’s studio into an exhibition space.

The programme has developed from an

Eastern European focus to an intensive co-operation between Austrian and international artists – since 2008 these artists have worked together on exhibitions. b a s e m e n t has participated in the PARALLEL VIENNA alternative art fair since 2016.

b a s e m e n t presents the work of four artists; Maria Hanl, Claudia-Maria Luenig,

Bärbel Praun and Kamilla Szij. The artists show two-dimensional and three-dimensional work that reflects the concept of the line in space, the intention to explore and create certain parameters, fill in or out, extend or compress, push or hold, loosen or tighten. Lines – as thread and trace at the same time – are one element of these works, whether sculptures or drawings.
