K Art is currently one of the only Native American-owned art galleries concentrating on the works of established and emerging creators. According to the founder and owner of K Art, dave kimelberg: “Indigenous art is generally viewed through a historical lens, which sees the indigenous experience frozen in the past and not in the present.”
Instead, he argues: “Indigenous peoples exist in the present with unique challenges and worldviews: Showcasing contemporary indigenous artwork highlights the current experience of Native peoples and communities.”
In support of the newest, Gingrich and Tsinnajinnie, inside the sector stand Not going from K Art you will be able to appreciate sculptures of carved fish from the former, which reflect the traditional beliefs of their ancestors, united with the natural environment as gifts collected from the earth.

Sophie Tappeiner Gallery
The unique gallery that is based in vienna will exhibit in the sector positionsdedicated to young galleries exhibiting individual presentations by emerging artists.
Sophie Tappeiner, who is the owner and founder of the eponymous gallery, describes the exhibition as “a strong focus on intersectional feminism, the body and how our being is constituted by the world around us and vice versa”. And to emerge within that concept, she chose Sophie Reinhold, resident painter in berlin.
The exhibition features ten paintings of the same size installed in a straight line that allude to depression. Reinhold was born in the old German Democratic RepublicFor which reason, Tappeiner explains, “he witnessed firsthand the battle of conflicting ideologies while growing up between two grand narratives or promises: socialism and capitalism.” This is why the surfaces of his paintings, in which he creates reliefs with marble dust, “negotiate the narrative potential of images, how systems manifest and story writing in general.”
