Linz Francisco Carolinum: Three photo and crypto art with works by Elfie Semotan, Adrian Sauer and Steve Pikelny

“I didn’t want them to smile,” says Elfie Semotan regarding the women she photographed in men’s clothing and masculine poses, “like Clint Eastwood,” adds the master photographer from Vorchdorf, who likes to play with role clichés and expectations. Her series “Birkenwald” welcomes visitors as a play of light and shadow on the first floor of the Francisco Carolinum in Linz, where a cross-section of her work curated by Maria Venzl can be seen until July 28th. Semotan’s past as a model flows into works that deal with fashion, but break with glamorous aesthetics.

How true can digital photography still be, what does it have in common with reality? The East Berlin native feels this Adrian Sauer in his “digital paintings”. Curated by Susanne Watzenboeck, the exhibition “Truth Table” (until July 28th) invites you to become aware of your own viewing patterns. The digital world of pixels knows no gradations, “it can only be undecided,” says Sauer, which his work “16,777,216 pixels” reveals: What appears as a gray area is just as many different color pixels.

The New York artists and programmers invite you to crypto art and the world of NFTs (“Non-Fungible Tokens”) on the ground floor Steve Pikelny – and also in the virtual metaverse voxels. The title “DYOR / NFA” (until May 31) of the exhibition, curated by Julia Staudach, hides two acronyms from the crypto and financial world.
