The humorous worlds of French artist Laure Prouvost combine sculptural elements with sound and video to create ingenious mixed media installations. The Wiener Festwochen and the Kunsthalle Wien have teamed up to present the Turner Prize winner’s first-ever solo exhibition in Austria. In Ohmmm age Oma je ohomma mama, Laure Prouvost explores the figure of the grandmother as ancestor and trailblazer, transforming the exhibition space into a theatre of objects, memories and imagination. Visitors are invited to lose themselves in the darkness and the interplay of materials and media, of personal and fictional anecdotes. Chains of association and productive misunderstandings characterise these multilayered works, which tell of new elective affinities between generations, of emancipation and exchange. Prouvost opens up unexpected perspectives on our times: What history are we building on? What is our takeaway? What are we dreaming anew?
