Tarwuk - 4D

Pony Project Gallery & Mia Laska present:

TARWUK
4D /// Dominant Demon Doorstep Document

Pony Project Gallery celebrates its 1st birthday and is proud to present the latest solo exhibition by Tarwuk. We are very happy because also exactly a year ago Bruno Pogacnik Wukodrakula and Ivana Vuksic started working together as an artist collective. Pony Project Gallery organised their first exhibition in Berlin last year. It is definitely a time for celebration! And who is a better person to team up with for a decent anniversary than our close friend and collaborator, an ingenious art historian Mia Laska? …in the splendid surroundings of imperial Vienna!

Tarwuk, an artist collective based in New York, seeks to erase the boundaries between art and life. They explore the limits of personal privacy, communication and intimate viewing experiences. Their approach requires a physical transformation of reality: the location and the work become inseparable, merging into a truly immersive environment.

Using both traditional sculptural techniques and a wide range of computer software (from 3d photo-geometry scans to various video and photo editors), they create multimedia installations. In their work they are interested in the breaches between the digital and the physical realities.

The concept of the exhibition is dedicated to the city of Vienna. It revolves around the history and cultural aspects of the city. The context of The Imperial Crypt located in the Neuer Markt square of the Innere Stadt, also called the Capuchin Crypt, a burial chamber beneath the Capuchin Church and monastery, turned out to be especially inspiring for the artists. It has been the principal place of entombment for members of the House of Habsburg. The bones of 145 Habsburg royalty, plus urns containing the hearts or cremated remains of four others, are here, including 12 emperors and 18 empresses.
