CHIHARU SHIOTA
ACROSS THE RIVER

11 JUNE 2022 – 15 JANUARY 2023
Chiharu Shiota’s ACROSS THE RIVER is a new, site-specific installation that spans an entire room and references the architecture as well as the location surrounding the State Gallery of Lower Austria. In the light-flooded exhibition space on the ground floor of the museum, Shiota created a dense web-like structure made of red yarn, connected to boats that lie on the ground. The boats are traditional Zillen, typical of Krems and the Wachau region as travelling vessels on the Danube river.
