danach: Get-together in Kunstraum Seestadt​​

 

Public art has been a feature of Seestadt since its inception and has developed a tradition over time. The longest-running project in this context is the work of the Viennese artist and curator Reinhold Zisser, who initiated the Notgalerie in 2017. This summer, the artist developed a land art project together with a group of Ukrainian artists, turning Seestadt into a large experimental art laboratory. It provided a framework for a community of Ukrainian artists and their colleagues to explore concepts of landscape, urban transformation, displacement, and homeland. This program is complemented by the new art space □□□□□■ (LLLLLL, artist run space). It is the first art space in Vienna explicitly dedicated to the topic of public art. Its task is to work in synergy with public art projects and to reflect on and communicate them through the possibilities of an exhibition space.
