SHOTVIEW invited to a get-together at Loft13 in Vienna on 26 April to present the new SHOTVIEW Magazine, which was introduced at UPDATE BERLIN only a week before, as well as works of art by photographer Caroline Mackintosh and a preview from her new book ‘An Ode to Nude’.
Caroline Mackintosh : “‘An Ode to Nude’ looks to normalize nudity or at least create a different experience around it, one that feels honest. It is about connecting back to our bodies and skin by connecting back to nature, seeing that we are not so different from each other and that what differentiates us also connects us. The human body is one of the most beautiful gifts, but it is not celebrated enough. Our bodies are the mechanism through which we walk, talk, breathe and do everything, yet in most societies, we are made to feel separate from our bodies, ourselves and each other. ‘An Ode To Nude’ aims to break the barriers of separateness, and I believe that celebrating and honoring the nude body is a way of bringing us closer together.”
Visitors had the chance to meet SHOTVIEW on 3 May at the Vienna art institution Villa Mautner-Jäger. The villa, once constructed by Hertha Jäger of the influential Mautner-Markhof industrial family, is steeped in rich history. Hertha Jäger, personally an active proponent of the feminist movement with a firmly established network within the Vienna Secession, turned the estate into an important meeting place of the Viennese art scene.
Abandoned since the 1980s, however, the villa changed owners frequently and slowly fell into disrepair, until all that remained was its impressive appearance marked by a morbid charm and walls covered with wild ivy. But now the monument-protected villa on Landstraßer Hauptstraße is to be restored. With her interim use of the villa, Ema Kaiser, the founder of Node Contemporary, would meanwhile like to continue in the tradition of the former salon culture once at home in the villa so long ago.
The event week ‘The Cover Program’ kicked off on 29 April 2024 with various activities. And on 3 May, everything revolved around art and photography when SHOTVIEW exhibits the work of photographer THERESA KAINDL.
