Deli Flowers After Dark installation

“Deli Flowers After Dark”
In this installation, flower shops of old run-down New York City delis — small neighborhod grocery stores open 24 hours a day — are photographically transported to Vienna. On late-night walks, Anja photographed flowers and plants, and deli workers visible in the background during their nightshift. On view at #dievitrinegaleriereinthaler at Galerie Reinthaler through fall of 2019. The zine of the same title will be available starting in September 2019.

The book will go on sale May 2 and will be available at the opening, at the gallery, and online. Click here for more info.

installation in Salzburg

Anja Hitzenberger’s current exhibition is “Still Life,” on view through the end of November 2015 in the center of Salzburg, Austria, in the display window of Raiffeisenbank (Alter Markt 8). “Still Life” is a new, ongoing series showing carelessly discarded food, left behind on streets and sidewalks — garbage representing things pushed aside and forgotten. These tossed away items tell stories about people, our society, culture and tradition.

Anja will be showing new work in “vollschlank,” a solo exhibition as part of Vienna’s biennial photography festival, “eyes on: Monat der Fotografie”.

The show is in an unusual location: a dentist office in Vienna’s first district! Dr. Hollmann & Dr. Lhotka regularly work with galleries and individual artists to present exhibitions in their offices so that they and their patients have a variety of art to enjoy. It’s the perfect venue to show these photographs of sugary sweets and other food-related themes.

The opening is Thursday, November 13, 2014, at 7pm, with an introduction by Christof Stein, at Dr. Hollmann & Dr. Lhotka OG (Köllnerhofgasse 6, 1010 Wien). The exhibition will run November 14 – February 28, 2015, Mondays–Thursdays, 9am – 6pm.
