International Contemporary Art Exhibition 25 - 31 August 2014
The MOYA – Museum of Young Art – is delighted to host the Spirit of Art – Vienna 2014, an exhibition dedicated to artists around the world. We are very pleased to welcome the international artists who live and work in so many different parts of the world, and who are united here in Vienna by the exhibition and by the spirit of art. Art can create an atmosphere of freedom, open dialogue and communication that plays such an important role for humanity and for our coexistence with all the challenges that brings. The exhibition emphasizes individuality in art, as it shows a wide variety of different concepts, processes and approaches. Conceptually speaking, it consciously lacks actively crafted, fluent transitions between individual artists’ statements; in so doing, it seeks to stimulate debate so that visitors can identify these transitions for themselves. It is hoped that the exhibition will provide food for thought about similari-
ties and differences in international views, and about common and varying aims and ways of expression. The question of individuality and the possibility of its existence as such, as well as the question of rationality and its role in the context of our globalised world, are all themes which will be addressed and felt in the context of the exhibition, which also touches upon major issues of our time. We trust that the Spirit of Art –Vienna 2014 will stimulate a refreshing exchange of views, and will make its own contribution to peaceful coexistence.
Dr. Kolja Kramer Director MOYA-Museum of Young Art
It is my pleasure to open the 6th edition of the Spirit of Art International Contemporary art exhibition at the Moya Museum of Young Art that is hosting the show for the third time.
For the participating artists the event is a splendid opportunity to broadcast their ideas and concepts and further develop their international presence while engaging with the classy art lovers of Vienna.
"Spirit of Art Returns – Vienna 2014" is a part of a series of international exhibitions that run in major cities across Europe.
It is also a great opportunity for art lovers, art dealers, curators, artists and art collectors to visit this exhibition and to enjoy a unique, multi-cultural artistic event with a spring feast of colours, shapes, styles and techniques merging into a vibrant kaleidoscope, and to experience the personality of artists from different countries.
The concept of the exhibition is based on the idea that the inspirational "spirit of art" exists in each and every artist and is derived from his/ her unique emotions, feelings and culture. This time, 41 artists from 21 countries have been carefully chosen to represent their artworks at the exhibition. The exhibition contains a rainbow of styles, colours and ideas and as such visitors will have the opportunity to see how different artists interpret reality, their heritage and ideas into a single piece of artwork. This is what makes the exhibition so unique. Spectators will be exposed to original paintings, sculptures installations, glass sculpture and digital photos. The exhibitors come from: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Turkey, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Mexico, Lebanon, Sweden, Lithuania, Norway, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, Israel, The Netherlands, and U.S.A. The diversity of countries that are represented here is a hard proof that art is indeed an international language.
The spirit of the exhibition, the striking environment and the cultural meeting of artists from all over the world is an experience one should not miss. I hope that this event will have a long lasting impact and will create lasting friendships between different cultures, people and artists. I would like to thanks to the artists for their collaboration and to wish them a great success in their art creation.
