Johanniterkirche Feldkirch presents a solo exhibition by Andrea Büttner in partnership with Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein. It opens today, July 22 and it will be on view until September 23, 2022. Büttner’s work Shepherds and Kings (2017) consists of a double slide projection of 160 historical images, showing how shepherds and kings have been depicted in Nativity scenes throughout art history. This comparative presentation of Büttner’s assembled collection of historical images follows no particular chronology or style, engaging instead in an iconographic exploration of gestures and their implicit resonances with qualities of shame, vulnerability and dignity.
