Exhibition programme 2025

Kunsthalle Wien is pleased to announce a series of exhibitions for 2025. The programme includes Radical Software: Women, Art & Computing 1960–1991, a major group survey dedicated to the first decades of digital art, bringing together works from public and private collections across Europe and the US. It also features the first retrospectives in the German-speaking context of Nicola L. and Richard Hawkins. New works have been commissioned from Ibrahim Mahama and Guan Xiao for their first solo exhibitions in Austria. The year begins and ends with two installments of the Kunsthalle Wien Preis, with each exhibition presenting the work of two artists, one from each of Vienna’s art universities. An exhibition by Rawan Almukhtar and Ida Kammerloch who were awarded the prize in 2024 will be followed by an exhibition by two graduates from 2025 in the autumn. The programme at Karlsplatz also features the first edition of Vienna Digital Cultures, a new annual festival dedicated to contemporary art in the digital sphere, organised in collaboration with FOTO ARSENAL WIEN.
