What can be seen and experienced in the next months in Vienna. From exhibitions, concerts to festivals.
PROGRAM
FEMINIST AVANT-GARDE
In the mumok, more than 300 artworks now show how female artists in the 1970s created their own image of the woman. Until now, this “feminist avant-garde” has garnered only minimal attention in art history. This makes this big exhibition that much more important. The topic behind this show is the emancipation of the female artists during the 70s: away from the role of muse and model to the self-determined subject (until September 3rd).
FORM MATTERS
AB 3. JULI
The Österreichische Werkstätten, located in the Kärntner Straße 6, 1010 Vienna, dedicated their new special exhibition to the life and work of the artists Josef Maria Olbrich and Koloman Moser. The latter was one of the founders of the Wiener Werkstätte. Entry is free.
