Russian-born Nika Neelova, who lives and works in London, transports the viewer into a world in which time seems unhinged with her sometimes expansive works. She allows history and stories, those of real but also fictitious people who have long since ceased to exist, to materialise in space. Her works are like artefacts that draw viewers into a stream of time, but at the same time are strongly committed to the present in their formal-aesthetic simplicity and distanced view of human civilisation. The presentation of the exhibition curated by Christina Penetsdorfer incorporates works by other important artists, including Isa Genzken, Maria Bartuszová, Marisa Merz, Hans Haacke, Heinz Frank and many others, as if in a loose network of relationships. In this way, the collection objects of the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, the Salzburg Museum and the Mining and Gothic Museum Leogang become part of a utopian world idea.
