SPARK Art Fair Vienna 

Viktor Frešo Solo Presentation

Booth # H3

March 15 - 17, 2024

 

SPARK Art Fair Vienna is the only international art fair focusing exclusively on solo presentations. Its unique model democratizes the playing field by providing each participating gallery with the same-size booth and architectural orientation.  The vastness of the exhibition hall and the booths’ open structure pave the way for a deeper and more personal encounter with each featured artist, simulating a mini museum exhibition.  As such, gallerists are perceived more strongly in their role as developers and presenters, enabling collectors and art enthusiasts to engage on a more profound level with individual contemporary artists.

 

For this year's fair, K Contemporary turns its booth over to Viktor Frešo.  Considered among the most remarkable figures of European conceptual art in the region of the former Czechoslovakia, his work and approach to art are both highly personal and reflective of larger concerns and attitudes in global society and the art world.  He studied in Bratislava at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design and in Prague at the Academy of Fine Arts.  

 

Frešo addresses sophisticated cultural concepts and autobiographical themes using deceptively simple methods. Characteristic of his creations is the tension he creates between huge, grandiose ego-forward art with quieter paintings and humble found objects from his family's history. His ability to unabashedly reveal his dark, sentimental, and comical sides endears the viewer by unselfconsciously allowing access to the artist's inner quirks, memories, and desires. 

 
Frešo is interested in direct, efficient, visual tools. He prefers a short interval between action and reaction and enjoys it when viewers have speedy, unmediated responses to his work. He has no compunction presenting radical and sometimes critical opinions of society or himself that might irritate and provoke discussions about what is and what is not acceptable as contemporary art. Whether he intervenes in public spaces or exhibits in galleries, he takes care that his raw, creative actions show themselves in his works' final execution –  grand, critical, honest, artistic, gestures.

FEBRUARY, 8
-11, 2024

 

K Contemporary's booth features Anne von Freyburg, Viktor Frešo, Jason Craighead, Kaitlyn Tucek, Francisco Souto, and Marc Dennis, as well as a special engagement with an installation of works Kevin Sloan.

 

Kevin’s work is characterized by curiosity and bemusement toward the natural and human-made world. His frequently symbolic paintings are part of an ongoing inquiry into the relationship between the marvel of the natural world and the mundane and often blunt reality of the modern era.  r. 

 

His work is found in numerous private and public collections worldwide including the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Phoenix Art Museum, Phoenix, Arizona; Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico; Tampa Museum of Art, Tampa, Florid; and the Tucson Museum of Art, Tucson, Arizona.

Solo Booth Featuring: Suchitra Mattai 

 

Suchitra Mattai is a multi-disciplinary artist of Indo-Caribbean descent. She uses a mixed-media approach to explore how memory and myth allow us to unravel and re-imagine historical narratives. 

 

Her primary pursuit is to give voice to people whose voices were once quieted. Using both her own family’s ocean migrations and research on the period of colonial indentured labor during the 19th Century, Suchitra seeks to expand our sense of “history.” Re-writing this colonial history contributes to contemporary dialogue by making visible the struggles and perseverance of those who lived it. She often focuses on the experiences of women and employs practices and materials associated with the domestic sphere such as embroidery, weaving, vintage saris and other fiber elements.
