About the show
Heinrich Dunst Sophia Eisenhut Simon Lehner
Paratext refers to text types or text elements that accompany or supplement a text and influence its reception, whether through the author’s own actions or through external support for the author’s intentions.
Sophia Eisenhut (b. 1995, Regensburg, Germany) is an artist and author. She studied art history, language arts and fine arts in Leipzig and Vienna. She lives and works in Berlin. Her artistic practice includes writing and performance as well as multi media installations, drawing, artistic research, and artist books.
Heinrich Dunst (b. 1955, Hallein, Austria) lives and works in Vienna. Dunst creates spatial interventions and performances that navigate the gap between what can be seen and what can be said, the untranslatability of one form into another, and the contextual nature of spatial presentations. Solo exhibitions include Halle für Kunst Steiermark, Graz (2023), Secession (2014), Museum für angewandte Kunst, Vienna (1997) among others.
Simon Lehner (b. 1996, Wels, Austria) is a Vienna-based artist working in photography and time-based media. A graduate of the University of Applied Arts Vienna, his practice explores identity, memory, and the psychological impact of contemporary image culture. His work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including Kunstmuseum Bonn, Kunsthaus Zürich, Museum Morsbroich and Leopold Museum, and has been recognized by the Foam Talent Award, the OE1 Talentfund, and numerous international awards and nominations.
About KOW
KOW opened in September 2009 at Brunnenstrasse 9 in Berlin-Mitte in a remarkable new building designed by Arno Brandlhuber that was constructed on the ruins of a failed investment from the early 1990s. With a programmatic focus on the field of socially oriented art, the gallery’s exhibitions as well as its curatorial formats and publications aim to address a broad international public.
