Lebt und arbeitet in Wien
Contemporary Art from Vienna
Kunsthalle Wien presents the most extensive survey of the Viennese contemporary art scene organised by the institution in over a decade. For six months, across all of its spaces in the Museumsquartier and Karlsplatz, ‘Lebt und arbeitet in Wien: Contemporary Art from Vienna’ will bring together over 130 artworks by 56 artists who live and work in Vienna, including painting, sculpture, installation, drawing, photography, performance, sound, film and video.
Accompanied by a public programme of talks, performances and events, it places emphasis on the city as a dynamic space of production where art is shaped by a critical approach to the forces of conservatism and a sense of its own agency.
Initially organised by Kunsthalle Wien in 2000, the fifth edition of ‘Lebt und arbeitet in Wien’ builds upon a longstanding tradition of celebrating Vienna’s lively artistic discourse and diverse community of artists. Curated by Daniel Baumann, Michelle Cotton and Monika Georgieva, it focuses on new and recent works with 38 artists commissioned specifically for the exhibition and numerous artworks presented in Vienna for the first time.
The exhibition is accompanied by a new publication featuring commissioned essays on all the artists, as well as transcripts of conversations between curators, artists and critics who live and work in Vienna, in both German and English.
Birke Gorm, Lazar Lyutakov and Toni Schmale have produced artist’s editions to be sold alongside the exhibition to support Kunsthalle Wien’s programme.
