Laurent Ajina "Grand Slam", Kunsthandel Giese & Schweiger

Our first episode in English is here! And there is a good reason
for it: we are proud to present a special exhibition of paintings
by French artist Laurent Ajina held at Giese und Schweiger from
October 18 to November 6, 2021. As the show’s title, “Grand Slam”,
suggests, it is all about tennis, which has been a great passion of
Laurent Ajina and Alexander Giese for many years. In cooperation
with Galerie Crone (Vienna/Berlin), who represent the artist, a
body of works on the theme of tennis especially created for this
exhibition is shown alongside the “Erste Bank Open” tennis
tournament. In this episode Alexander Giese speaks to four guests
that have collaborated on the show. Follow us behind the scenes as
art historian Lara Bandion talks about organising the show,
gallerist Andreas Huber (Galerie Crone) shares ways to successfully
represent a contemporary artist, Laurent Ajina talks about his
background and inspiration and curator Elsy Lahner (Albertina)
discusses Ajina’s work in the context of contemporary drawing.
