Outlook 2024

Outlook 2024

Early start to the 2024 art year

We are starting the new exhibition year 2024 quite early with a Cooperation with the jazz club Porgy&Besswith which gallery owner Rudolf Leeb has been closely associated for many years. The exhibition space "Public Domain", just to the left of the entrance to the club, was founded and developed by Renald Deppe , who sadly passed away far too early in 2023. He repeatedly showed young and international positions. As a permanent exhibition about the first 30 years of the jazz club will be on display in the space until the end of August 2024, we are starting with interventions. This is also the name of the series #Intervention. Many thanks at this point to the artistic director of Porgy&Bess Christoph Huber for the opportunity to exhibit here. We start on January 10th with #Intervention_01 with sculptures by Viktoria Morgenstern.

We are launching another collaboration on January 24 with the Vienna Collectors Clubwhich runs a small but very fine exhibition space in the high-rise building in Herrengasse. Young national and international female positions are shown here. Many thanks to Anna Ignatovich for this presentation opportunity. We are showing photographic works by Michaela Putz.

The exhibition continues from March 15 - 17, 2024 at Marxhalle Vienna with works by Birgit Graschopf at SPARK 2024.
Following the presentation in September 2023 at Vienna Contemporary, Galerie Rudolf Leeb is showing new works by the artist, who stages feminine figures in selected architectures and lighting conditions in her careful pictorial compositions. Concrete, fibre cements and sandpaper, on which the artist exposes photographs in analogue and colors them by hand, are unusual image carriers. The materials support the uncanny, fleeting and lonely gestures in the photographs. The fragility is transferred through the depicted body to the pictorial body, whose characteristics are supposedly hard and rough, and yet react in a particularly sensitive and detailed way.

From 2024, we look forward to working with the Berlin-based artist Pavel Zeldovich to be able to work together.
His works based on the technique of 3D modeling are largely the result of Pavel Zeldovich's long international career as an architect. He was a student and later colleague of the great Zaha Hadid, who is known for introducing advanced computer-aided design techniques in architecture. As an artist, Pavel Zeldovich applies the computer skills he acquired during his many years as an architect in a completely new capacity.
