Resilience

Exhibition: Resilience
Artist: Kurt Hüpfner (1930–2022)
Curator: Samantha Ozer
Duration: 15 September – 23 October 2025
As part of our participation in viennacontemporary 2025, we present the exhibition “Resilience” featuring works by Kurt Hüpfner (1930–2022).
At the center of the exhibition stands the figure of Job, whose story of suffering, endurance, and spiritual struggle addresses themes that have lost none of their relevance to this day.
In the biblical narrative, Job endures personal loss and physical affliction, yet confronts his fate with a striking mixture of despair, defiance, and faith. His unwavering search for meaning amid devastation embodies the essence of resilience.
Surrounding Job are drawings and sculptures that take up and further develop these themes. They explore how resilience manifests itself in the face of chaos, loss, and transformation.
Our presentation invites viewers to understand inner strength not as a static quality, but as a dynamic, evolving response to the challenges of life.
