Julia Haller: Smile from the Streets You Hold – An Exhibition Exploring Contemporary Painting and Spatial Perception

This exhibition showcases the work of Julia Haller, who explores conventions and the history of painting by creating works on mineral plates treated with various techniques. The presentation manipulates the perception of space and emphasizes how artistic works can be perceived as both independent and complementary.

Julia Haller engages with conventions and the history of painting, aiming to transcend them in her artistic practice. Her works often feature geometric shapes and thin-layering of colors on surfaces that challenge the flatness of the medium. The exhibition at Secession presents a new series of works created using her technique of engraving and filling mineral plates with color, often treated with milling techniques and pigments. Haller is interested in creating a situation where artworks are perceived as both autonomous and mutually enriching, making the exhibition more than the sum of its parts. The spatially separated presentation within Secession, coupled with minimal interventions that manipulate the perception of the spaces, enhances this concept. Her materials range from bone and rabbit glue, shellac, acrylic paint, and gouache to iron oxide pigment, and her works on mineral plates are a continuation of her drawing techniques.
