Irish artist Claire Morgan (*1980) transforms the first floor into a unique experience space with an in situ installation specially designed for the Landesgalerie Niederösterreich.
In her works, she deals with the elementary conditions of man in his habitat. She processes personal experiences as well as her observations on the cycle of nature and the relationship between nature and man. Grace and beauty, but also death and loss, are always present in her installations. She expresses the ambivalence of life in her works in a way that is both poetic and irritating.
In Krems, she is expanding her artistic vocabulary, which was previously characterized by delicate compositions of plant seeds, insects, specimens and plastic waste, to include the presence of humans. Sculptures made of wax and animal-like objects are at the center of the room-filling installation, which combines culture and nature, but reveals interfaces and antagonisms.
Morgan's works are part of important public and private collections, such as the Center Pompidou and the Fondation Guerlain, Paris. The presentation at the Landesgalerie Niederösterreich is the artist's first exhibition in Austria.
