Andrew Gilbert: "Emperor Andrew's vision of the flowers of Hlobane blossoming on the fields of Königgrätz, 1866"

May 11, 2023 – June 30, 2023 

Scottish artist Andrew Gilbert presents a solo exhibition of his works for the first time in Vienna. Long-known for his radical installations, drawings, and paintings that address the historic and ongoing violence of imperialism in imaginative ways, Gilbert reminds us that we are far from the postcolonial future that we would like to envision. In his upcoming exhibition, Andrew Gilbert will continue to confront our romantic notions of the past by showing us that empires of oppression are very much alive, from today’s great power games playing out on the geo-political stage to the everyday violence used to bring products to the market.
