Curated by: Amygdala with Edin Zenun, Zeller van Almsick, 5.9. – 3.10.2020
The title is the eponym for one of the exhibited paintings and refers to the almond-shaped group of neurons that are located deep in the medial temporal lobe of the brain, play a key role in the processing of emotions and are part of the limbic system. The name of the amygdala is explained by its almond-shaped appearance and comes from ancient Greek (μυγδάλη, almond(kernel).

'I call them the happiness machines,” she said and pointed to a set of strange devices in the hidden corner of the room. I must admit that I was surprised. “Are you ready?” she asked through a text that came with an echo into my earpods. I nodded. “Then let’s switch bodies now.'

'To be an artist does not only mean producing and exhibiting work, it also involves processes that happen behind the scenes, such as collecting, archiving, and cataloguing. Since the work of every artist is distinctive and unique, it is difficult to apply universal criteria in terms of pictorial archives.' Natalia Gurova

Död, Gabriele Senn Galerie, Vienna, 10.3.2017 - 29.4.2017
The exhibition brings together a constellation of Kerstin von Gabain’s wax and plaster sculptures of vegetables, fruit, and body parts. Building on previous work, the exhibition further explores how von Gabain considers and plays with the space between objects and their representation, the evolution and exchange between sculpture and photography, which are the recurring elements and processes underlying her oeuvre. The cross sections of bones are cast from her arms and legs and hollowed out through sanding to resemble bone marrow. Unlike the putrefaction of Paul Thek’s meat sculptures, however, von Gabain’s objects are abstract and candy colored. The pieces are handmade yet resolutely perfect, subversively fresh and immediate. Through their mediation via postcard-sized photos, they serve as memento mori that are garish in their eternality, and yet suggest a knowledge too small, a lifespan too short. The objects rest on plinths of concrete, acrylic glass, and MDF laminated or painted pink, which further juxtaposes their aesthetic and conceptual volatility, as well as renders them unfit for consumption; their eccentric connections to one another suggest the biopolitics of breeding, the regulation of the path toward consumerhood, as well as the collective unchartedness of our civilization.

Bad Pringle, Gabriele Senn Galerie, Vienna, 20.3. – 23.4.2015
At the center of the current exhibition is von Gabain’s more recent occupation with mold making and casting. Casting and analogue photography both rely on complementarity for reproduction of analog prints and casts: Both techniques use a negative in order to make a positive imprint. In preparation for the exhibition, von Gabain casted a set of objects in plaster to be then photographed with the purpose of highlighting this duality again. As her work progressed she began to experiment with color, as well as new materials, such as concrete, wax and polyester and using color film. Through casting various materials on top of each other and using vivid colors, her objects evoke different associations, such as layers of earth or melted candy. Thus the works are given another more carnal and playful dimension that is emphasized even more by the display and arrangement of these. von Gabain is continuously evolving her work, constantly modifying, re-editing and re-adapting her approach, often referencing and sampling her own past exhibitions.
Bad pringle by Johann Neumeister
The Art Gallery of Rogues, Wiener Art Foundation, Vienna, 13.3. – 27.3.2015
why is batman actually not called mouseman considering he has much more in common with the ordinary house mouse than with bats? even though he has a cave, he doesnt inhabit it but uses it only as a hiding place in case of danger, similar to a mouse retreating into a hole. he also doesnt sleep there hanging from the ceiling but does so in a warm bed in a villa. everyone who ever suffered a mouse infestation knows all to well that these animals have a marked preference for nesting in beds, blankets and cushions. bats on the contrary do keep their bodies mutually warm while sleeping and are therefore mostly found in larger groups, forming colonies. batman on the other hand is a loner. also he is not capable of active flight. he only glides through the air with his cape because he neither has webbed wings like bats nor superhuman powers like superman for instance. he only pretends to be flying, like a mouse with a parachute would. but the most important feature that both batman and mice dont share with bats are fangs and the sucking of blood. although very view species of bats actually do drink blood, the image of the bat as a vampire is nonetheless so prevalent in our culture that one has to assume that also in the case of batman this association will sooner or later suggest itself to everyone. but if batman is by name a bat ergo vampire, then why does he have all the traits of a harmless little house mouse and none of the bloodsucking and infectious bats/vampires? the answer to this question is quite simple: because batman is a vampire pretending to be a mouse.

Objects of China, Sotheby’s Artist Quarterly, Vienna, April – June 2014
In her exhibition Objects of China, Kerstin von Gabain presents a series of black and white silkscreen prints that take images of taxidermy specimens – rats and birds – as their subject. The artist works with glass magic lantern slides discovered in China, the original purpose of which remains a puzzle. The cleaned slides, whose images Kerstin von Gabain has transferred onto large-format paper by means of screen printing, display clearly visible shadows and grids. Are the latter a byproduct of the printing onto the glass plates, or are the images photographic reproductions of prints? While the shadows suggest that the images have been rephotographed, the origin of the grids remains unexplained. Through the medium of screen printing, the artist succeeds in allowing the various layers of the image, the coarsely grained network of lines, and the interplay of shadows to flow together on paper to form a single entity: In addition to the mosaic-like effect, the result is a monochrome interaction of two- and three-dimensional impressions that seem to struggle for supremacy within the image.
