A project by: MuseumsQuartier Wien
Bettina Leidl, managing director

In reaction to the Russian invasion currently unfolding in Ukraine, Bettina Leidl, the director of the MuseumsQuartier Errichtungs- und Betriebsgesellschaft, has invited curators Hedwig Saxenhuber and Georg Schöllhammer, who are known for their work on the international scene, to curate an art project in public space. Artists from Ukraine (coordinator: Nikita Kadan), Belarus (coordinator: Marina Naprushkina) and Russia will project works onto the main façade of the MQ and the façade of the Leopold Museum from March 3 - 17.

After that, the contributions can be viewed until the end of March in the Q21 showrooms.

The artists, among them Hito Steyerl, are using their work to oppose the occupation of Ukraine.
Some of the participating artists have already been Artists-in-Residence at Q21/MuseumsQuartier or have featured in exhibitions, such as Nikita Kadan at mumok in 2019, giving them a direct link with Vienna. The concept envisages showing 10 to 12 contributions in a range of genres in a loop. Artists are left to decide the format, with a maximum length for each projection of around 2 minutes. The artistic intervention is planned as a dynamic installation and contributions will change frequently in reaction to current developments.
