Transvangarde: Time Capsule

20 Jan 2024 3-4.30pm

October Gallery
London WC1N 3AL

Overview

Join us for a unique opportunity to hear Artist Susanne Kessler and Elisabeth Lalouschek, Artistic Director of October Gallery speak about their wider practice and reflect upon their very individual career development since graduating from the Royal College of Art in the 1980s. The conversation will be moderated by Gerard Houghton, Director of Special Projects.

Susanne Kessler was born 1955 in Wuppertal, and lives in Rome and Berlin. Kessler’s work investigates line, in all of its manifestations, in her works on paper, collages, paintings, sculpture, and installations. Working in large scale and in smaller more intricate tendril forms is the essence of Kessler’s continued concern with ideas of evolution and layers of time. Kessler was recipient of the Von der Heydt Culture Prize in 2022. She first exhibited at October Gallery in 1991.

Born in Vienna, Elisabeth Lalouschek graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1983. October Gallery held her first solo exhibition that same year. Between 1983 and 1997 she had studios in Mexico City, Vienna and Paris. In 1987, Lalouschek joined the management team of October Gallery and later she became the Artistic Director of the Gallery. Lalouschek works with some of the world’s most prominent international artists, notably El Anatsui and Rachid Koraïchi.
