Max Weiler
Max Weiler (1910-2001) would have been 100 years old in 2010. This is a fitting occasion for the Essl Museum to present the Max Weiler exhibition, "The Nature of Painting." The accompanying catalogue shows about 70 paintings from his abstract period, which was decisive for his later years. In Max Weiler's oeuvre, spanning 70 years, the period from 1962 to 1967 assumes a special position. Recent findings confirm that during this time, the artist undertook radical, decisive steps towards abstraction. Inspired by scratch papers, on which he mixed paints and wiped his brushes, he developed picture creations that were based on the analysis of fundamental, purely motoric processes of painting and ...

Malerei
Despite all of the doomsday scenarios, painting has proved both flexible and capable of renewing itself. Through confrontation with conceptual and technology based art, the definition of its own boundaries have been analysed and broadened since the middle of the 20th century. The process of painting and the materiality of paint have become just as much themes in painting as the dissolution of the traditional picture format and its potential to take on object like and spatial forms. The exhibition at MUMOK, Vienna in 2010 and this accompanying catalogue illustrate these parallel, and at times overlapping, themes in their historical and current forms. Painting proves itself a discursive medium, whose development is partly determined by the various positions of its protagonists and opponents. English and German text.
And Magnus af Petersens
The wall was his passion. If we look at urban walls with the eyes of Burhan Dogançay a completely different world opens up: half-ripped posters on rough brickwork, covered in graffiti, scribblings, messages, signs, stickers. From this rich stock of structures, signs and symbols the artist created his wall fragments, his 'Urban Walls'. Dogançay (1929-2013) was born in Istanbul and settled in New York in 1964, where he moved within the art scene around Robert Rauschenberg und Jasper Johns. His subject is the visual perception of texture, place and memory, which he researches in serial works. For his 'Urban Walls' he records house walls and façades all over the world in a variety of media, using a wide range of materials and techniques such as photography, collage and painting. His works are archives of past decades which capture the spirit of the times. From the 1970s and 1980s he progresses from these works to develop his 'Ribbons' - calligraphic paintings of poetic charm. Exhibition: Albertina, Vienna, Austria (06.07.-08.10.2017).

Road to war
Rainer Ganahl is a man obsessed, which he reveals in ways viewers tap into immediately: he covers white canvases with the text of his Google searches, starting with "terroroism." He traces the borders on the front page of The New York Times, filling in only the headlines that catch his eye. He videotapes the hundreds of hours he spends studying Arabic. He asks what knowledge can do. Good question.
