Starting at 7 pm, you are welcome to join the opening of the exhibition Darker, Lighter, Puffy, Flat at Kunsthalle Wien Museumsquartier.
Welcome by What, How & for Whom / WHW (Artistic Directors Kunsthalle Wien) and introduction by curator Laura Amann. Many artists will be present.
Afterward, we celebrate with the Hamburg-based collective Queereeoké. For 10 years it has been causing a furore at Kampnagel and is coming to Vienna for the exhibition opening. Queereeoké is not just karaoke but spontaneous choreography, provocative performance, subversive humour and overcoming the binary between audience and performers – a queer practice that touches people on a deep level. Care work in the best sense. Let’s get the party started!
Free admission.
As part of the opening, you will have the opportunity to register as a stem cell donor. All you need is an ID and a bit of time. More info here: https://participate.roteskreuz.at/stammzellen/
The group exhibition Darker, Lighter, Puffy, Flat will feature works, including several new commissions, by international artists who reflect on the manifold meanings of breasts, not only in art history but in society and culture at large. The works inhabit a space of tensions created by the many contradictory – sometimes hypocritical – but also sensual and playful views on breasts.
