Tipps Kunst: Parallel Vienna & Curated by A fashionable prelude to the autumn season

The article discusses upcoming art events in Vienna during the autumn season, focusing on two major exhibitions: Parallel Vienna and Curated by. Parallel Vienna takes place at the Otto Wagner Areal, featuring a mix of galleries, artists, projects, and institutions under the theme 'Statement.' This year, the event includes dedicated spaces for photography and editions, as well as experimental formats like Eat-Art, which explores food as an artistic medium. The festival Curated by involves 24 galleries, each inviting a chosen curator to design either group or solo exhibitions, with this year’s theme being 'Love,' inspired by an essay by Ariana Reines advocating for unconditional devotion to love despite potential failure.

Tickets for the special tour on September 17 at 4:30 p.m. in the Narrenturm are available to win. The exhibition focuses on electropathology, exploring its historical development in Vienna and the effects of electricity on the human body. It spans topics from prevention and first aid to medical treatments, case studies, and electrical accidents both nationally and globally. The exhibition runs until April 24, 2027, in the Narrenturm. The special tour includes a quote from Stefan Jellinek’s Elektroschutz in 132 Bildern (1931): “The electric accident is a class of its own, with its own conditions and almost incomprehensible possibilities, comparable to many positions and moves on a chessboard; only those who can enter the spirit of the game of chess will be able to grasp the purpose and meaning of electrical accident prevention, who have learned as many dangerous situations as possible; through consideration, one can counter every move with the correct countermove, becoming an independent player, a determined fighter.” In parallel, Vienna’s art scene kicks off its autumn season with the Kunstmessen Astoria Artshow and Parallel Vienna, followed by the Galerienfestival Curated by. Parallel Vienna returns to the Otto Wagner Areal, occupying four buildings. The event maintains its hybrid mix under the theme “Statement,” featuring galleries, artists, projects, and institutions. Organizers Stefan Bidner and Robert Ramsauer responded to the absence of Viennacontemporary and Spark Art Fair by introducing 17 established galleries in the Youth Style Theater, previously home to sculptures and performances. A dedicated section for photography and editions is also planned. They emphasized their desire to avoid a traditional large fair, highlighting the unique blend as their main attraction. Curated by involves 24 galleries, each inviting a curator. Over half presented group exhibitions, while seven solo shows are also featured. This four-week festival explores the theme “Love.” U.S. author Ariana Reines advocates unconditional surrender to love, even at the risk of failure. She concludes her essay with the motto, “Jump in,” which aligns with the vibrant art events this week. Parallel Vienna 2026 takes place at the Otto Wagner Areal on September 9 from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., with additional dates. The alternative art fair features 130 exhibitors, including 30 young artists with solo presentations. Photography and editions receive a larger space, and an Eat-Art exhibition centers around food as an artistic form.
