The diversity in the work of Herbert Brandl can be perceived on several levels this year, with the solo exhibitions of the artist "Herbert Brandl. Apocalypse to Beautiful View (Exposed to Painting. The Last Twenty Years)" at Belvedere 21, curated by Rolf H. Johannsen, as well as the parallel exhibitions "TOMORROW" at Kunsthaus Graz, curated by Barbara Steiner, and "24/7" at Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien, curated by Sandro Droschl. This concentrated attention of three established art institutions in Austria underlines the relevance of Brandls work for the national and international perception of painting, but also emphasizes the complexity of his artistic work. In order to shed more light on the different perspectives on the artist's practice, we invite you to take a guided tour through the two Graz exhibitions under the motto "Double Perspective."

The joint tour starts at 5 p.m. at the Kunsthaus Graz and continues at the Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien. Following the guided tours there will be an opportunity to ask the exhibition organizers about their curatorial approaches. The event is a collaboration between the Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien and the Kunsthaus Graz.
