Austin Settle presents the exhibition Past:Present, a selection of new Expanded Photography in the Frei.Haus., opening September 18. 2025 at 6:00pm.

In Past:Present, Austin Settle moves beyond mere retrospection. It is an exhibition about how the material of memory, in the moment of its disruption, speaks a new language.

Curated by Esther Hladik

Establishing Connection is a a special project during the Vienna Art Week presented by: Austin Settle / Ilaria Carli Paris / Ivana Kralj / Laurus Edelbacher.

Curated with a knowing wink, this exhibition—featuring three international artists working in painting, expanded photography, and object art—stages a confrontation with our digital habits, turning the gallery into a theater of frustration and, surprisingly, introspection. Its a show that doesnt just ask you to look; it dares you to feel the weight of your own impatience.
