Galerie Splitter Art
In the age of information technology and the internet, it seems to be more necessary than ever [even in the world of Art] to operate in overlapping lines of business.
Edition Splitter, having already established its thematic concerns to be right on the margins of literature sets itself this further challenge. In order to achieve its aim, a further property bordering the office of Edition Splitter Wien was rented in 1997.
This new Art ShowRoom afforded Splitter authors and artists the possibility of exhibiting their work to the public. New media such as the realm of concrete/visual poetry - which inhabits that margin between plastic Art and literature - have become the main thrust of the Splitter agenda since the ShowRoom was opened.
Apart from anything else, the ShowRoom is open to everybody and equally open to anything new - just like Edition Splitter itself.
The Publishing House & the Art ShowRoom have since fused together to form that ‘unity in variety’, which is the prerequisite for any genuinely open ShowRoom.
Batya Horn wants to place special emphasis on the international nature of this Viennese Publishing House & ShowRoom: small yet exclusive, throwing its doors wide open to the world of Art.
In the last five years we have already been able to welcome several well-known artists to the Art ShowRoom, including Helga Philipp, Angelika Kaufmann, Roland Goeschl, Stefan Emmelmann, Konrad Balder Schäuffelen, Peter Wechsler, Heinz Grosskopf, Peter Daniel, Jerczy Kalucki, Ingo Nussbaumer, Cornelia Kaufmann, July Rabinowich and others.
