How can we rethink tourism in an era of climate crisis, wars, the threat of further pandemics, a shortage of skilled labour and an ongoing energy crisis, and steer it in a more sustainable direction? What is the role that spatial planning and architecture are playing in this? The exhibition sheds light on key aspects of tourism, such as mobility, city tourism, interdependencies with agriculture, climate change, the privatisation of natural beauty and the change in accomodation typologies, and explores the question of whether and how tourism development is planned. Above all, however, the exhibition looks at the potential for transformation.

Based on various texts by Mark Fisher, Lynne Segal, Franco Berardi and Ann Cvetkovich, among others, which we will read and discuss together, as well as through somatic exercises and writing sessions, "negative" emotions should not be understood in this workshop as an individual, self-inflicted deficit but as a collective expression of objection and protest.

In a collaborative process, Karin Pauer is developing a performance for the immersive installation "testing grounds" by visual artist Katrin Hornek.

Take a journey back in time to the year 1900! Get to know artists such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Koloman Moser, Josef Hoffmann and Otto Wagner, hear exciting stories and discover the secrets of their art.

With cunning tricks and clever pursuit attempts, Inspector Soso manages to track down the culprit - but only with the help of the audience! Become a witness and help us solve the chaos.

"Exótica" sees itself as an homage to all those forgotten performers of colour who did not find a place in the canon of dance history and are only now slowly being rediscovered.
