Curator’s tour through the exhibition ‘Lebt und arbeitet in Wien’ with Hannah Marynissen.

First organised by Kunsthalle Wien over two decades ago, ‘Lebt und arbeitet in Wien’ is a survey of contemporary art from Vienna. The fifth edition returns after an 11-year hiatus, focusing exclusively on artists that were not part of previous exhibitions. It presents the work of 56 artists of different generations and at different stages of their career. While all live and work in Vienna, they exhibit internationally. Installed across three floors in Kunsthalle Wien Museumsquartier and at Karlsplatz, it is one of the largest exhibitions in the institution’s history, celebrating the diversity of artistic production in the city with painting, sculpture, installation, drawing, photography, performance, sound, film and video.
