V E N T Gallery, Vienna

Vienna based V E N T gallery promotes international and local rising artists in contemporary visual arts, curated in solo and group exhibitions as well as performative formats. The program of V E N T gallery is focused on research into the artificial meaning of media, through the implementation of technologies from the late 20th and the 21st century into the artistic process and the analysis of their social potential. V E N T gallery focuses on the artistic and curatorial exploration of futurality. Futurality describes future incidents that are already inscribed into the present as a diffuse phenomenon of so-called “hyper-objects.”

MAM Mario Mauroner Contemporary Art, Salzburg – Vienna

The gallery was founded in 1972 by Mario & Waltraud Mauroner (at the time the gallery was still named Galerie Academia). After more than 40 years of international experience and over 500 exhibitions and participations at international art fairs, an additional 1200 sqm exhibition space on two levels was opened in Vienna, offering spectacular space for the presentation of large-scale sculptures – one of the main focuses of the gallery. Building a second point of interest, the gallery’s program is also dedicated to a range of outstanding and international contemporary artists especially from the Mediterranean area, whose common ground is a steady progression of their respective creative work, developed independently of current trends. Aside from the ground floor and basement, the gallery in Vienna includes a room called roomnumberOne, which is exclusively dedicated to young emerging artists. In October 2014 the newest edition of Mario Mauroner Contemporary Art VIENNA opened – our project space All About Art which is focusing on interdisciplinary projects and where we realised in September 2017 “In relation” – a solo show by mischer’traxler studio.

EXILE, Vienna

EXILE is a platform for contemporary art founded in 2008 by Christian Siekmeier. EXILE understands art as a collaborative, inter-generational and overarching discourse embedded in a complex web of socio-political, gender and personal histories as much as in aesthetic theory and conceptual practice.
