Landesgalerie Niederösterreich in Krems an der Donau will host an artist talk with Inge Dick on 29 August 2026, offering two chances to hear the Austrian artist discuss her long-term practice and the works on view in her exhibition 'Inge Dick. Vom Licht berührt'. The museum’s announcement describes Dick as one of the most important figures in Austrian contemporary art and frames the conversation as a discussion of her “unique artistic search” and the stories behind her photo and film works.
The programme positions the talk within the gallery’s current exhibition lineup, where 'Inge Dick. Vom Licht berührt' runs alongside several other shows listed on the institution’s website. Inge Dick’s exhibition is presented as part of the gallery’s broader schedule through 10 January 2027, and the institution’s materials link the artist talk directly to that exhibition rather than to a separate event space or partner venue.
According to the museum text, Dick’s artistic development moved from painting to experimental photography, then to Polaroid work and digital film. The announcement emphasizes continuity in that trajectory through her interest in the subtle changes of light, colour and time. The event copy does not add new biographical details beyond that arc, but it does identify these media shifts as central to how the artist’s practice has unfolded.
The talk will be held in dialogue with curator Gerda Ridler, who appears in the newsletter alongside Dick in an image credit and is named in the event description as the curator conducting the conversation. The museum presents the session as an opportunity to hear Dick speak in her exhibition space about the background of her photo and film works, with the focus on artistic process and on the traces that run through her career.
The institution has announced two identical sessions on the same day at Landesgalerie Niederösterreich, Museumsplatz 1, 3500 Krems an der Donau: one on Saturday, 29 August 2026, from 11.00 to 12.00, and another from 15.00 to 16.00. Both entries are marked with ticket links in the source material. The event listing also includes a newsletter-style reference to current and upcoming programming at the gallery, including curated tours for Greta Schödl’s 'Spuren meines Lebens' and the exhibition 'Wiener Moderne. Weiblich. Widerständig', but those items are separate from the Inge Dick talk.
The artist talk sits within a broader institutional presentation of Dick’s work, and the gallery’s exhibition page says her works are “throughdrungen” by a central element: light in all its manifestations. The source material makes that emphasis explicit and ties it to the exhibition title 'Inge Dick. Vom Licht berührt', without expanding further on the installation or selection of works. For visitors, the immediate offer is straightforward: two public conversations with Inge Dick in Krems on 29 August 2026.
