Judith Eisler – Scott Clifford Evans – Lazar Lyutakov

Opening Tuesday, 30 June 2026

Exhibition 1 – 24 July 

This summer, Charim presents works by three gallery artists, Judith Eisler, Scott Clifford Evans, and Lazar Lyutakov, currently featured in the exhibition Lebt und arbeitet in Wien: Contemporary Art from Vienna at Kunsthalle Wien. Bringing together fifty-six artists living and working in the city, Lebt und arbeitet in Wien offers a broad survey of Vienna’s dynamic, critically engaged contemporary art scene.

Judith Eisler (1962, Newark, USA) paints images drawn from cinema, and through her compositions, fleeting frames become charged spaces where narrative construction and painterly perception intersect. Eisler has been included in exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2015) Castello di Rivoli, Turin (2008), and Hayward Gallery, London (2007). She received a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in 2002 and has been Professor of Painting and Animation Film at the University of Applied Arts Vienna since 2009.

Scott Clifford Evans (1979, Salt Lake City, USA) draws on the visual language of popular cinema and television, engaging genres such as horror, thriller, drama, and exploitation film. Developed through collaborative and process-oriented methods, his work frequently employs improvisation and collective participation, blurring the boundaries between production and performance. His most recent solo exhibition took place at FJK3 Contemporary Art Space, Vienna (2026). Since 2018, he has taught at the University of Applied Art Vienna, Academy of Fine Art Vienna, and the University of Art and Design Linz.

Lazar Lyutakov (1977, Shabla, Bulgaria) investigates the structures and hierarchies that shape contemporary culture, focusing on the relationship between everyday objects, systems of consumption, and global production networks. He has exhibited internationally, including at  Fondazione Zimei, Pescara (2025), Lavender Opener Chair, Tokyo (2025), CAIRN Centre d’art in Southern France (2025), Secession, Vienna (2023), and Simian, Copenhagen (2021). Lyutakov represented Bulgaria at the Venice Biennale in 2019.
