Exhibition summary

The 2020 Annual Members' Exhibition, titled 'Common Ground', examines art's role during times of crisis and uncertainty. The exhibition features a dense, grid-like installation of works by many artists, exploring themes of togetherness, democracy, and proximity.

Curatorial context

In response to a year marked by global crisis and uncertainty, the 2020 Annual Members' Exhibition at the Salzburger Kunstverein, entitled 'Common Ground', seeks to explore the enduring role of contemporary art. The exhibition serves as a reflection on how art can transmit a sense of collective togetherness, particularly in moments when proximity and community have been challenged. The exhibition is defined by its unique presentation mode, where artworks are arranged tightly together in a series of grids, often touching, to emphasize the breadth of the members' creative output. This approach allows every submission to be displayed, creating a dense, collaborative visual environment. The works on view are available for sale, and the exhibition takes place across both the main venue and the Museumspavillon in Mirabellgarten.

Admission and ticket notes

The exhibition is a sales exhibition where artworks are available for purchase during the show at the discretion of the participating artists. Visitors can find further planning information on the Salzburger Kunstverein website.
