Häusler Contemporary is delighted to announce Brigitte Kowanz's contribution «Expo Line» for the Austrian Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai.

The Austrian pavilion is made from interlaced cones, plastered with loam rendering. The truncated cones are cut off at different heights, creating openings for light in varying sizes, which results in an impactful experience of the space. The Austrian pavilion brings the advantages of the combination of traditional and state-of-the-art building knowhow to life: pollutant-free, pleasant room climate, striking lighting ambiance, and spectacular and multifaceted room sequences.

The main theme of Brigitte Kowanz’ works is the different visual forms which light can take. In addition to language, she uses light as an artistic means, capturing it in containers, distributing it over planes or forcing it into solid formations so that it is constantly taking on new shapes. Light thus becomes both a material and a metaphor in her search for new forms in which to represent visible reality.

Expo 2020 Dubai from October 1 2021 – 31 March 2021.
