NITSCH & GEORG BERNSTEINER

"THE SECOND PART OF THE NIGHT"

January 23, 2025, 7pm

Nitsch Foundation, Vienna, AT

The Nitsch Foundation and Rita Nitsch cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition GEORG BERNSTEINER – THE SECOND PART OF THE NIGHT on Thursday, 23 January 2025 at 19:00.

Since 2023, the Nitsch Foundation has been presenting works by companions and artists whose development was decisively influenced by Hermann Nitsch and his enduring Gesamtkunstwerk. Parallels in their works visualise new connections and interweavings of artistic processes. This series of exhibitions not only familiarises visitors with other artistic positions, but also provides a new perspective on an individual facet of Nitsch’s oeuvre and the continuing impact of his work.

‘i got to know bernsteiner at the salzburg summer academy. i immediately sensed that there was a force to be taken seriously, one that defies all banality, like a natural phenomenon. here, someone is tilling his field with relentless vehemence.
[…] you can see in every stroke the power with which life is sought and realised through him.’
Hermann Nitsch

The exhibition will be accompanied by a limited edition leporello with artworks by Georg Bernsteiner and texts by Karl Schleinkofer.

The artist will be present! A text by Hanno Millesi will introduce the exhibition.
