On Saturday, June 20, at 4:00 p.m., the MuseumsQuartier Wien invites you to the participatory art performance “Auf den Sockel gehoben” by artist Karin Sander in the MQ Main Courtyard.

The focus is on the MQ generation: Visitors, MQ fans, supporters, and family and friends are all invited—anyone who has a special connection to the MQ and would like to become part of a collaborative work of art.

Participants will step onto a 20-cm-high pedestal and receive a photograph signed by Karin Sander as a thank-you for their participation. The performance will be documented through photography.

About Karin Sander

Karin Sander (*1957), an artist living in Berlin and Zurich, is considered one of the most significant artists of her generation. She primarily creates site-specific works and has exhibited her art at venues including the Museum of Modern Art (New York) and the Venice Biennale. Sander engages with existing situations and explores their contexts. She highlights specific issues and invites viewers to engage with and participate in the specific themes. The seemingly familiar is reimagined, becoming the starting point for a process of exploration. Sander engages with nearly all media fields of contemporary art—thus, her works in public spaces emerge in relation to the conditions and constraints of the existing environment.
