  Manuel Knapp (born in Wolfsberg in Carinthia, 1978) belongs to a generation of artists that cannot be reduced to specific media: rather, he incorporates in his painterly practi- ce considerations from other realms in a self-evident fashion. The use of sound and installation makes his painting a buil- ding block in an expanded field alongside its autonomous status. In the images shown in the exhibition, at issue are film formats and the medium of film in itself: What at first looks like a reduced, abstract black and white composition becomes upon longer inspection the visual field of a technical medium, the surface of the paintings transports the vulnerability and fragility of the material. Painting and its traditions of percep- tion are used to negotiate the specifications and the materi- ality of an entirely different medium.
