Focus On:
Crystin Moritz & Karl Karner
Galerie Kandlhofer is pleased to present at the Focus On an exhibition by artists Crystin Moritz and Karl Karner.
At the center of the Focus On Section stands Karl Karner’s the cow eat not the honey grows - a sculpture that grows, resonates, and tells stories: of bees and trees, of wounds and healing, of beings suspended between nature and imagination. As part of the FEED series, this work demonstrates how closely material, process, and interaction are interwoven in Karl Karner’s practice.
Karner’s installation steps into dialogue with Crystin Moritz new work series LINEA, about which the artists states:
„LINEA emerged during a period spent in Sicily, engaging with the island’s history, mythology, and sagas, particularly those centered on women. Combining AI-generated images and videos, the series moves between historical narratives and contemporary perspectives on identity, ritual, and gender. References to traditions such as the Minne di Sant’Agata—small Sicilian pastries referencing the cut-off breasts of Saint Agatha after her martyrdom—point to the ways violence and collective memory become embedded within everyday rituals. Natural forces and symbolic imagery appear throughout the work, connecting Sicily’s layered past with present realities. The series reflects on how inherited social structures and motifs continue to shape society today.“ - Crystin Moritz
