The new gallery space will open on 6 June 2023 with the group exhibition WE ARE BACK & SCRATCHING ON THE SURFACE. This opening exhibition will feature the artists represented by the gallery, but also other positions. The exhibited works including photography, performance, video, painting and sculpture, rely on a continuous process of creation and erasure, or the adding of new layers while retaining traces of what has gone before. They use different techniques of layering to create something entirely new through repetition, superimposition or removal. Layer after layer, we peel to extract the surface, to shed and to unveil. This group exhibition evokes the kind of feelings where attraction flirts with discomfort, provoking without ever actually crossing the line.

galerie michaela stock:
galerie michaela stock was founded in Vienna in 2009 in Schleifmühlgasse. The gallery has a strong focus on conceptual and performance art, and Central and Eastern European artists. The aim of gallery’s programme is to explore the interrelations between the artistic practice as performance, photography, video and films as well as those between contemporary art theory and aesthetics and literature. 2022 we had to leave our previous location in Schleifmühlgasse, after incredible years there. This was not our decision, but sometimes it is good to rethink and clean your mind.

Now galerie michaela stock opens at its new location in Praterstrasse 17, in a beautiful, historic baroque building. The gallery is less than few minutes away from the city center. Praterstrasse is quiet and idyllic, peppered with small restaurants and fashion boutiques and in front of the gallery is a little square with a statue of the playwright, Nestroy at its center.
