Gerwald Rockenschaub and Josef Bauer in the Museum of Contemporary Art Skopje in"TAPETI"

TAPETI marks the first time that selected works from the evn collection will be presented outside their original setting, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Skopje in 2026. The exhibition is based on a concept developed in 2018 for the EVN Headquarters in Maria Enzersdorf, where artists were commissioned to create site-specific wallpapers as display surfaces for works from the evn collection. In Skopje, this setting is reinterpreted through mobile walls that are combined with works from the museum’s own collection, creating new dialogues between different generations, artistic positions, and collections. The result transforms the modern idea of the neutral exhibition space into a layered, dynamic environment of encounter and exchange.

SUMMER FESTIVAL OF ESCHENBACHGASSE & SCHLEIFMÜHLGASSE

We are delighted to welcome you to the Summer Gallery Festival.

Julian Opie at Schloss Ebenau

Seit mehr als drei Jahrzehnten erforscht Opie die Möglichkeiten der Darstellung durch eine Bildsprache von radikaler Klarheit und Reduktion. Ausgehend von Porträt, Landschaft und Bewegung nimmt sein Werk eine einzigartige Position zwischen klassischer Tradition und zeitgenössischer visueller Kultur ein.

Vor der historischen Kulisse von Schloss Ebenau vereint die Ausstellung ausgewählte Arbeiten, die die kontinuierliche Auseinandersetzung des Künstlers mit Bild, Identität und Ort sichtbar machen.

Eröffnung: Sonntag, 21. Juni 2026

Ausstellungsdauer: bis 23. August 2026 geöffnet.

Melanie Ender "ALMOST IN BETWEEN" at Kunsthaus Dahlem

For her exhibition in the former studio of Arno Breker, the leading monumental sculptor of the Nazi era, Melanie Ender has conceived delicate, site-specific installations that defy any claim to permanence. The artist explores how structures designed for stability and control reveal their openness to transformation over time. Straight lines become distorted, supposedly rigid metal rods balance precariously—Ender’s works remain sensitive and responsive to their surroundings. In this way, they dissolve rigid orders and make processes of change tangible.

Opening: 04.07.2026
until 04.10.2026

ESTHER STOCKER in Landesmuseum Schloss Tirol

In the exhibition, Esther Stocker presents, alongside other works, a life-size installation conceived specifically for the space: ‘Atlas’. Atlas, the Titan of Greek mythology who challenged the gods of Olympus for their power and was condemned by Zeus to bear the vault of heaven on his shoulders for eternity. The Bergfried “Atlas” is also covered with a grid that resembles a corset and evokes geographical coordinates. The camouflage effect blurs the perception of surface and body. (Heinrich Schwazer)

IM FOKUS showcases three artists who live and work in Vienna and are exhibiting at the Stadtgalerie_raumimpuls for the first time. Working in different media and exploring diverse themes, they are united by a clarity of expression and form, as well as the use of a highly individual visual vocabulary that engages with viewers in various ways.
