Psy-Alps: Abel Auer at Galerie Kirchgasse
<p>The landscapes of Abel Auer center on figures, flora, and various symbolist paraphernalia roaming in ‘out there’ topographies. His exhibition at Galerie Kirchgasse, titled <em>Schatten meiner Selbst</em> (Shadow[s] of Myself), evokes the concept of the shadow in analytical psychology. Being aware of one’s own shadow is probably a good thing. The train of thought of the following review stretches across generations from the nineteenth century to the present, from landscape painting to mountaineering and, in the process, reflects on a psychedelic connection between the Himalayas and the Alps.</p>
