LEAVE THE PLANET puts us to the test. Don't we all long to disappear and leave all the demands of this complex world behind? Is a good life still possible in times of crisis in this world? Are there strategies to lead a "weightless" life without avoidance, repression and escape behavior? How can we take off and look at everything from above with distance? Roman Pfeffer uses “matter” from completely different contexts for his installations. A rowing boat becomes a rocket and an old telephone booth becomes a departure point into the unknown. Although we cannot leave the planet, the work deals with the question: “What if? Do you have to come back then...?"

KUNSTZELLE is a project by Christine Baumann and Pablo Chiereghin
 

KUNSTZELLE goes MuseumsQuartier

The KUNSTZELLE is moving to the forecourt of the MuseumsQuartier for a year. As a former phone booth, its strength lies in publicity and communication. At its new location in front of the main entrance to the MQ, KUNSTZELLE will be showing three installations this year. The annual program is supplemented by a number of shorter interventions. The exhibitions are followed by "After Shows", short interventions from the fields of performing arts, participatory intervention, sound and visual arts. Its informal atmosphere makes the audience part of the after show. The square revives and opens up.
