Online-Talk with Fabian Erik Patzak (artist), Astrid Peterle (chief curator Jewish Museum Vienna) and Boris Ondreička (curator)

In the exhibition “Direct Transit” curated by Boris Ondreička, artist Fabian Erik Patzak creates an intimate story based on his trans-generational experience of migration between Austria and the United States, that began with the emigration of his grandparents from Nazi-Vienna. His work addresses interrelated themes such as heritage, displacement, memory and loss. In his paintings, the artist absorbs and motivates considerations of much wider personal, societal and even planetary questioning. Join us to discuss these complex issues via Zoom:
