Annerose Riedl - In-between spaces
In her exhibition Zwischen-Räume (In-Between Spaces), Austrian artist Annerose Riedl juxtaposes images of spatial situations with sculptures. In the images she paints on discarded school maps, she creates nearly empty spaces defined by the placement of a few perspective lines. Both the sculptures and the painted figures give the impression that she is transcending the boundaries between image and reality, moving into or out of the space.

Annerose Riedl - Between levels
In her spatial images, Annerose Riedl also combines the main motifs of her work, which include human figures and ladders. Her painted and wooden figures stand in groups in front of doorways or windows, or individually climb ladders from one spatial level to another. Some ladders lead upwards, others downwards, lean against the wall or lie on the floor. They at least offer the possibility of leaving a room or moving to other levels. In contrast, there are real, wooden ladders, on whose rungs the artist positions individual figures. These ladders lead nowhere and do not meet any safety standards. For Annerose Riedl, the "Ladders Without a Goal" take on the function of shelves for the storage of emotions, attitudes, or gestures.

Annerose Riedl - Female figures
Another sculptural focus of the exhibition is a series of works from Annerose Riedl's continuous creative phase. These primarily depict female figures who appear grounded, self-confident, and self-ironic.
Annerose Riedl, born in 1949 in Passau, lives and works in Brunnenthal near Schärding, Austria.
A bilingual catalogue in German and English will be published by Distanz Verlag to accompany the exhibition Annerose Riedl: Zwischen-Räume (In-Between Spaces) with a foreword by Alfred Weidinger and texts by Andrea Bina, Marion Bornscheuer, and Inga Kleinknecht.
