Two solo shows
Galerie Martin Janda, Wien
Jun Yang's exhibition includes "A Better Tomorrow", a piece created for Liverpool Biennial 2006 which, based on its contemporary cityscape, focuses on utopias of a better future. The Project Space shows an installation by Adrien Tirtiaux, whose spatial architectural elements act as the starting point for his work, which often makes use of means of minimal art so as to produce a poetic image.
Jun Yang
From June 20 to July 28, 2007, the Galerie Martin Janda is presenting work by Jun Yang. The installation A Better Tomorrow, created for Liverpool Biennial 2006, forms the exhibition's centre: Based on contemporary Liverpool's cityscape – there is a huge number of empty, boarded-up houses, at the same time, thousands of houses in the city are slated for rebuilding or refurbishment – Yang focuses on utopias of a better future, becoming manifest in housing projects.
"To watch Jun Yang's film, we have to physically step inside a space that points to both the decaying homes of the past and the imagined new homes of the future. As the film moves around the city, letting us see both derelict and newly prospering areas, it makes us think about the many ways in which people plan for, work for and dream of a better tomorrow for themselves and their families."

Adrien Tirtiaux
In the gallery's Project Space we are showing an installation by Adrien Tirtiaux. The space's architectural elements act as the starting point for his work Auprès de mon arbre. Means of minimal art – colour, mirrors – are used to produce a poetic image. The creation of an artificial nature inside the White Cube invites the viewer to return to the outside.
Opening: Tuesday, June 19th, 2007, 7pm
