creative space lech

The first summer exhibition 2026 at CURIOUS – creative space Lech takes the alpine summer season as a starting point for a curatorial exploration of landscape, memory, and contemporary art.

The space becomes a walk-in landscape, where the mountain summer is reinterpreted through sculpture, photography, painting, and installation.

A summer between nature, atmosphere, and artistic translation of the Arlberg – stay tuned to discover which artists will be part of this exhibition.

The exhibition Practices of Transformation from February 23rd until April 19th  featured five contemporary female artists from Austria exploring art as a process of transformation and translation. Charlotte Klobassa, Christiane Peschek, Carolina Rivera Arboleda, Ju Schnee, and Melanie Thöni work with very different visual languages—from alpine motifs and digital self-portraits to abstract landscapes and technological codes. What unites the works is a precise, multi-layered engagement with questions of identity, visibility, self-determination, and media change.

On view: 
23. February - 19. April 2026

This group exhibition (January 22nd until February 22nd) brought together five artistic positions - Heinrich Bobst, Christian Herdeg, Sun Rae Kim, Dirk Salz and Martha Scheeren, who approach art as a space of perception. Despite working across different media, materials, and generations, they share a common attitude: light, color, and material do not represent meaning, but unfold as autonomous phenomena through the act of seeing. Their works move between painting, sculpture, and light-based practices, defining perception as an open process. The exhibition invited to a slower, more attentive way of looking. Perception was not presented as a given, but as an active act in which reality continuously unfolds.

curious launched its inaugural show with The Bright Side (17.12.2025 - 21.01.2026) by internationally acclaimed designer and visual artist Stefan Sagmeister. Sagmeister dedicates this series to an unusual question:

What if the world today is better than we think?

Presented in collaboration with Galerie Maximilian Hutz and Helena Ponier (Studio Ponier).

Based on extensive datasets, the exhibition creates striking visual works that examine progress, social developments, and the importance of looking at history through a long-term lens. Sagmeister’s art blends design, research, and optimistic storytelling into a powerful reflection on present and future.
