Leopold Kessler's interventions in legal apparatus, commercial services and public spaces are based on ingenious and dry, humorous observations of urban life and show an acute awareness of the worldly systems that keep today's society running.
Kessler's works also offer a unique view of psychogeography. He does not reorganize the city with the rhetoric of hallucinatory miracles or revolutionary romanticism, but through the perspective of work, infrastructure and maintenance and transforms these systems into a stage for urban black comedies.
Leopold Kessler, born in 1976 in Munich, lives and works in Vienna

projektraum viktor bucher
projektraum viktor bucher was founded by Viktor Bucher in 1994 and defined from the start as a “project space” and not as a “gallery”, as a “living” and non-static exhibition space – open to the most varied forms of expression of artistic practice at a very high level. In 1998 the gallery moved to its present location in Praterstrasse 13.
