Over six months and throughout all its exhibition spaces, Kunsthalle Wien will present the largest survey of the Viennese contemporary art scene to be organised by the institution in over a decade. Sculpture, installation, drawing, painting, photography, performance and video by over 50 artists will be presented within an exhibition that focuses on new commissions and works that have not previously been exhibited in Vienna. The exhibition takes its title from a survey first presented at the Kunsthalle in 2000, continuing and developing a format that seeks to offer a perspective on the dynamic, transnational and culturally diverse communities of artists living and working in Vienna today.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a year-long public programme. A new publication with commissioned texts on each artist and transcripts of conversations between curators, artists and critics living and working in Vienna will be published in German and English.
