What is it that motivates girls nowadays and what role models have been handed down to us from the past?

The exhibition takes as its inspiration the play Mother Courage and Her Children, one of the most famous anti-war dramas of the 20th century. Bertolt Brecht’s legendary work is set in various locations of the Thirty Years’ War. Wachsmuth’s works reflect the impact of violence and war on people. Violence and power are also issues addressed in the work entitled Saligia, a cluster of cast bronze human arms symbolising the seven deadly sins – Saligia is an acronym formed from the initial letters of the Latin terms for these sins.

Lentos is presenting the first solo museum exhibition of the Austrian artist Georg Pinteritsch (*1986). His works display an unmistakable visual language: Art-historical symbolism, Christian
iconography and elements of our everyday visual culture are interwoven into seemingly surreal narratives. Fundamental themes of human existence form the heart of his oeuvre and reveal intimate pictorial spaces in which the past, present and future coalesce to create an intricate whole.
