PAUL PROTHESIS | CONTAINMENT & DESIRE IN THE LEAKING BODY, curated by Andrea Kopranovic at CRONE WIEN - Artist Talk and Finissage on October 24, 2026:
We cordially invite you to the closing reception of the exhibition „Containment & Desire in the Leaking Body“, which is part of this year’s CURATED BY gallery festival. Artist Paul Prothesis, curator Andrea Kopranovic, and gallerist Markus Peichl discuss question surrounding the exhibition and emerging from it.
What does CARE mean from a curatorial perspective, and how can it be exhibited within the institutional art world? What does it mean to showcase and address it in a gallery setting? How can the works in the exhibition be described and situated against the backdrop of informal and professional care? Together, artist Paul Prothesis, the exhibition’s curator, Andrea Kopranovic, and gallery owner Markus Peichl will explore these and other questions.
At the center of Paul Prothesis’ artistic exploration are bodily constructions and overwritings that are transferred from the injuries of the cared-for body to the social body of the caregiver. Part of these transformational processes are the shifts in societal notions and implications of masculinity—brought about by care work, in which both the caregiver and the patient are marked as q***r.
