Kunsthalle Wien Prize 2016
Andrej Polukord
The Sarcophagus
2016 Sternberg Press Publication
© Sternberg Press
Andrej Polukord, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts and corecipient of the 2016 prize, draws on painting, installation, performance, and video art to create unpredictable environments and absurd situations that produce double meanings and ambiguity. Polukord installed The Sarcophagus at Kunsthalle Wien, an environment that takes the form of a cave. In this installation mushrooms grow from the ceiling of the Kunsthalle, transforming the gallery into the space of an inverted forest floor. This publication includes photo documentation of the project as well as a poster supplement, along with a foreword by Eva Blimlinger, an essay by curator Lucas Gehrmann, and a conversation between the artist, Lucas Gehrmann, and Kunsthalle Wien director Nicolaus Schafhausen.
