Curated by_vienna 2016: Meine Herkunft habe ich mir selbst ausgedacht

The title and concept of this year’s gallery festival Curated by _vienna refers to Diedrich Diederichsen essay [My Origins? I Made Them Up]. 19 Vienna-based galleries invited international curators to reflect on homage in the arts today. One of my personal highlights is Diana Campbell Betancourt’s display of a new generation of Bangladeshi artists at Krinzinger Projekte.

Vienna contemporary at Marx Halle

Vienna Contemporary is Austria's leading international art fair, presenting renowned and influential Austrian, Eastern European, and international galleries.
