Destination Vienna 2015
Destination Vienna 2015, an exhibition with more than 70 positions of contemporary art, provides a comprehensive insight into Vienna’s art scene. At its two venues, Kunsthalle Wien presents selected contributions from artists of different generations, working in various methods and differing in their use of media. The exhibits were chosen from almost 900 proposals which consisted of entries submitted in an open call and results based on research and external references. The outcome portrays a quite idiosyncratic, surprising and pluralistic view of the Viennese art scene. Alongside the presentation of works in Kunsthalle Wien Museumsquartier’s two exhibition halls, Kunsthalle Wien Karlsplatz will offer events such as performances and talks.

Destination Vienna EXTENDEDDestination Vienna 2015 will not be confined to the exhibition and event spaces of Kunsthalle Wien Museumsquartier and Kunsthalle Wien Karlsplatz.
