Promesse du bonheur # 2, the second project by MLZ Art Dep and Wiener Art Foundation, focuses on the evolution of European painting, through a comparison between the works of the students of the Vienna Fine Art Academy and the works of three of their teachers from different generations.

The exhibition ranges from an already fully established artist such as Daniel Richter (DE, 1962), to artists such as Nazim Ünal Yilmaz (TR, 1981), up to a selection of works by young artists of Daniel Richter's class at the Vienna Fine Art Academy.

“The actuality of this art lies outside its temporal conditions or historical embedding. It autonomously creates its own conceptual and performative "references".  It is the image of a visual as well as spiritual academy.” - Amer Abbas, curator
