Magali Reus Tenant

The Kunsthalle Wien presents the first solo exhibition of Magali Reus (born 1981, The Hague) in Austria. Tenant brings together over 80 sculptural works created between 2014 and 2026. On the first floor of the Kunsthalle Wien in the Museumsquartier, an architecture designed specifically for the exhibition is being created. The work of Magali Reus is characterized by a keen observation of the everyday, of the absurd details of daily life. Containers such as jam jars, sardine tins, detergent packaging and pizza boxes become the subject of sculptural investigations in which forms are translated, altered and reshaped in series. Through enlargement and combination with other pictorial elements, Reus estranges these objects and transforms their colors, materials and surfaces.
