Lebt und arbeitet in Wien

The publication Lebt und arbeitet in Wien accompanies the exhibition of the same name. It is released for the opening of the exhibition in German, and subsequently in English complete with installation views. Commissioned texts address the artists’ work in 56 short essays by Chris Clarke, Christian Egger, Leonie Huber, Michał Leszuk, Simone Molinari, Vanessa Joan Müller and Inga Charlotte Thiele. The book also includes two conversations that attempt to trace the legacy of Lebt und arbeitet in Wien and reflect upon the situation today with contributions from Helene Baur, Margherita Belcredi, Sabine Breitwieser, Severin Dünser, Anna Jermolaewa, Peter Kogler, Bettina Leidl, Fiona Liewehr, Dorit Margreiter Choy, Bruno Mokross, Vanessa Joan Müller, Susanna Neuburger, Peter Pakesch, Francis Ruyter, Georg Schöllhammer, Eva-Maria Stadler, Nadim Vardag, Martin Vesely, Rita Vitorelli, Sabine B. Vogel and Jun Yang. These artists, curators, critics and other key figures discuss the conditions for artists living and working in the city today in comparison to recent decades that preceded and accompanied the first editions of Lebt und arbeitet in Wien.
