Einzelausstellung Thomas Hörl. To inflame myself, I recall Byron´s dress

Daten

Beschreibung

Thomas Hörl came to Tirana in the context of a month-long studio scholarship by the province of Salzburg. He will complete this stay with the exhibition ‘To inflame myself, I recall Byron´s dress’ at the Zeta Gallery.

French painter Delacroix is said to have written in his diary while working on his Albanian-themed paintings: “To inflame myself, I recall Byron’s verses”. Austrian artist Thomas Hörl however recalls paintings of Lord Byron in his Albanian costumes to get inspired to work on new collages where he mixes geometric and constructivist forms on traditional costumes in a dark romantic manner and his general folkloric research from Austria. In addition to the new works three video-reenactments of traditional dances are shown.
