DAS WEISSE HAUS and Erste Bank present this year’s winners of the Erste Bank Art Award 2023: Pêdra Costa. For the duration of the solo exhibition “101011”, DAS WEISSE HAUS transforms into a multi-sensory landscape of experience that encourages inwardness and self-expression. Through spiritual technologies and practices, Pêdra Costa challenges the emotions of the self and opens up a liminal space in which the alchemy of art and spirituality unfolds. It is oriented around the 22 major arcana of the Tarot archetypes, which occupy the space as installation works and guide the visitors on their self–knowledge journey. This year’s prize will be carried out in cooperation with the Austrian Cultural Forum Warsaw. In addition to the solo exhibition at DASWEISSE HAUS (November 2023–January 2024) and at the ACF Warsaw (opening February/March 2024), the award carries with it a one-month residency in Warsaw, as a source of inspiration and to expand one’s own network.
