Exhibited Works: CAS_V08 Deep Portrait: 12-channel version, CAS_05 Julia Mamea, CAS_13.2 Augmented Hercules, CAS_12.1 Caryatid Portrait
Duration: 09.09–14.10.2023
Event type: Group show
Organizer: Charim Gallery
Venue: Vienna, Austria
This exhibition critically examines the cultural, aesthetic, and socio-political connotations of the color white. Drawing on historical and contemporary frameworks—from Johann Joachim Winckelmann’s idealization of white classical sculptures to Brian O’Doherty’s concept of the white cube—the show interrogates whiteness as a symbol of purity, authority, and aesthetic normativity. Through works by Egor Kraft and other artists, The Dark Side of White highlights how notions of white supremacy, cultural privilege, and institutional authority are embedded in art, exhibition spaces, and everyday life, fostering a dialogue on the power structures that underpin Western visual and cultural traditions.
