A selection of works by six artists and artist collectives—Manuel Chavajay, Chto Delat, Inhabitants with Margarida Mendes, Daniela Ortiz, Prabhakar Pachpute, and Sophie Utikal—created specifically for this occasion, will be featured as "A Prologue in Public Space" on 250 billboards throughout Vienna. This prologue to the exhibition "And if I devoted my life to one of its feathers?" that has been postponed until next year is an attempt to translate some of the exhibition’s voices and topics into a medium that is compatible with the current obstacles and circumstances facing cultural presentations around the world.
