Pawel Althammer

Polish sculptor Pawel Althammer created portraits of his Ukrainian friend, the painter Yevgen Samborsky—who had been staying with Althammer following the Russian invasion of Ukraine—using various techniques. The clay sculpture exploded during firing, shattering the head. Althammer was deeply moved by the result, especially since it illustrates in the most tragic way his friend’s inner conflict between the instinct for survival and the defense of his country.

Kunstfenster Gnas

The Kunstfenster Gnas is a tiny art space in a shop window, a cube of two by two meters and one meter deep. A clearly defined space in the town center, which can be visited at any time of the day or night and which is reopened every three months. A local revival that opposes the rampant business vacancy with the means of art.

Since August 2019, Michaela Leutzendorff-Pakesch has been curating exhibitions in the market town of Gnas that go far beyond the region in their ambition.
