This exhibition features a selection of various series of poetic, evocative, and experimental works by Martine Reinhart that blend words and images. Her four books are also on display.

Since 2004, the human figure has been at the center of Martina Reinhart’s work, which explores the representation of the body and the perception of humanity. Since 2010, Reinhart has been exploring written culture as a vehicle for knowledge in her “Knowledge Cycles” series, offering, among other things, a contemporary reinterpretation of René Descartes’ philosophical thesis “Cogito ergo sum,” in which she does not, as in Pop Art and Conceptual Art, tear the word from its original context, but rather reinforces its meaning

In her series “Body/Media/Knowledge” (2016), she brings together her two broad areas of focus—the body and knowledge—in reference to Marshall McLuhan. Reinhart then devotes herself to important poets and thinkers (including H. Arendt, Deleuze, and Kant), creating texts and homages that she incorporates into her visual works. This is followed by similar homages to music that is meaningful to her, in which musical notes become graphic symbols that convey meaning.

Martina Reinhart studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and earned a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Vienna. She primarily focuses on themes that she explores in various series, which she has exhibited in numerous national and international exhibitions and group shows, and which she also addresses in her writing.
