Ulrich Egger's 'Leerstand' Exhibition at Palais Mamming Museum
Ulrich Egger (born 1959 in San Valentino alla Muta) presents his solo exhibition 'Leerstand' at Palais Mamming Museum in Merano, running through 2022. The show features photoscultures, photopaintings, and structures that explore themes of emptiness, memory, and time. Key works include 'Leerstand' (2022), a photopainting that opens the exhibition, and 'Urbanity' (2022), where a metal decusse is attached to a photo to break the image's flatness. Other notable pieces are the four 'Rooms' (2019) and the untitled black double window clamped in a vice (2022). Egger's practice reflects on nostalgia, distance, and materials worn by time, creating new visual densities and solid transparencies. The exhibition is curated by Antonello Tolve, professor at Accademia Albertina di Torino.
