The Prix Ars Electronica is the world’s most established media art competition and offers groundbreaking insights each year into creative work at the intersection of art, technology, and society. In 2025, the Prix Ars Electronica exhibition will be on view at the Lentos.

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.

What is it that motivates girls nowadays and what role models have been handed down to us from the past? Contemporary art often deals with images of girls in socially motivated contexts: coming of age, self-improvement trends – often in interaction with social media – fluid genders, issues surrounding diversity, interculturalism and inclusion.

Das Lentos ist 2025 Teil der inter­na­tio­na­len Kyiv Bien­na­le, die in die­sem Jahr ihr 10-jäh­ri­ges Jubi­lä­um fei­ert. Zeit­gleich fin­den Aus­stel­lungs­pro­jek­te u.a. in War­schau, Dnpro, Ams­ter­dam und Kyiv statt. Im Kon­text des rus­si­schen Angriffs­krie­ges auf die Ukrai­ne nimmt die Lin­zer Schau die Vor­stel­lung von Land und Land­schaft als poe­ti­sche und poli­ti­sche Instanz in den Blick und zeigt Wer­ke ukrai­ni­sche Künstler*innen in Dia­log mit inter­na­tio­na­len Positionen.
