Benchmark University
By Margareta Sandhofer
Under the direction of the Canadian artist, Ken Lum, and following six months of teamwork with the curator, Roland Schöny, thirteen graduates from an art university in Philadelphia have put an exhibition into practice in the premises located in the Franz Josefs Kai 3 in Vienna's First District.
The training at the interdisciplinary Fine Arts Department at PENN University is versatile and involves an intensive, permanent challenge for the students from many different nations.
Accordingly, the different positions in the exhibition show a medial and contextual diversity as well as impressive autonomy, without compromising the overall impression of a group exhibition. Amongst others, works shown are those by the young artists Sam Mapp, Theo Mullen, Laura Bernstein, Dan O’Neill, Paz Ortúzur, and Clair Bidwell,
The young artists' presentation has succeeded, the individual positions are convincing, the synopsis indicates an impressive potential that operates highly professionally. The requirements and the collaboration of those involved appear to be optimal, the resident art universities will now be compared with these standards.
