Exhibition: Global Portrait

The Kunsthaus Köflach presents the exhibition “Global Portrait / the Architecture of Networking” by the artist Erwin Talker.

At the center of the exhibition is the exploration of the human portrait and the concept of networking. The title motif, a seemingly floating, fragmented face against a blue background, opens an unusual perspective on the human appearance. The reduced representation draws attention to individual facial features and raises questions about identity, perception, and the representation of humanity.

The exhibition title “Global Portrait / the Architecture of Networking” further creates a conceptual space where personal identity and global contexts intersect. The artistic exploration invites one to question familiar perspectives and develop new viewpoints on the human image.

The festive opening of the exhibition will take place on November 20 2026 at 7:00 p.m. After the welcome by Mayor Helmut Linhart, art historian Bibiana Foucault from Paris and artist Erwin Talker will provide insights into the exhibition. The musical accompaniment will be provided by Josef Fürpaß on the bandoneon and Andriy Ivchenko on the guitar.

On November 21 at 10:00 a.m., an Artist Talk with Erwin Talker will provide the opportunity to learn more about his artistic thoughts and the backgrounds of the exhibition.

Köflach is accessible by public transport.
