Ronnie van Hout, work in transit 2026 (detail)
Gregor Fuchs (b.1996) was born in Linz, Austria and now lives between Vienna and Copenhagen. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in 2021 and undertook an internship at Borch Editions in Copenhagen from 2021-22. His prints were most recently included in the relief print exhibition Woodstock, at Kastrupgaardsamlingen, Museum for Modern Graphic Art, Copenhagen, 2026. Other exhibitions include Sky, hi, 2025 and Tears in Boomtown, 2024 at Ekely Gallery, Copenhagen; Imprimatur, Parish Church Linz – Marcel Callo, Linz 2025; The Palmtree Show, Hope Projects Art Service, Vienna 2024; Clouds Might Look Like Smoke, Danske Grafikere Hus, Copenhagen 2023; and Serious Scribbles, Marie Kirkegaard Gallery, Copenhagen 2023. His prints, drawings and animations depict the trivial realities of everyday life, finding the humor and pathos embedded in ordinary activities. For the exhibition Stuck, his drawings are brought to life with stop-motion animation and accompanied by a soundtrack in which Fuchs has given voice to the unevenness, confusion and frustrations of his subjects.
Ronnie van Hout (b.1962) was born in Christchurch, New Zealand and has lived in Melbourne since the late 1990s. He is an artist who enjoys undermining the art gallery as a serious and venerable cultural institution, yet at the same time managing to create challenging works that consider the shifting nature and anxiety of identity in the 21st century. His work encompasses sculpture, public artworks and video and draws on multiple sources and reference points such as self-portraiture, art history, pop culture, cinema and family life. Van Hout’s work has been the subject of three major survey exhibitions, 'No one is watching you' at Buxton Contemporary, Melbourne in 2018, ‘I’ve abandoned me’, Dunedin Public Art Gallery & touring, 2003-2005 and its sequel ‘Who goes there’, Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna O Waiwhetu, New Zealand, 2009. He has been included in a number of survey exhibitions, including ‘The National: New Australian Art’, Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, 2017. His work is held in all major public collections in New Zealand and Australia.
