Parallel Vienna: Artist Statement by Carlos Vergara
EXPLORING THE ARTISTIC TREASURES - PART ONE
We immersed ourselves in a world of art spread out in three historic buildings on the Otto Wagner Space.
There we marveled at new masterpieces that captured our senses and left us in awe. We were particularly drawn to the promising solo presentations and artist statements, which were brought to life by exceptionally talented and innovative artists.
Additionally, we explored the countless art installations on display, along with galleries, institutions, and an abundance of creativity that made Parallel Vienna 2023 once again worth the visit.
A TEMPORARY CANVAS: HISTORIC BUILDINGS TRANSFORMED BY ART PARALLEL VIENNA 2023
Munchies Art Club Magazine witnessed once again the transformation of historic buildings into temporary canvases, where art bursts into life through exhibitions, performances, programs, and a plethora of engaging events.
After two events at the Semmelweis Clinic, Parallel Vienna 2023 has now landed in the Otto Wagner Hospital area.
Three pavilions, a sculpture garden, and space for performances, all surrounded by a huge park and a promise of perfect weather.
As the Munchies Art Club Magazine team, we eagerly approached Parallel Vienna 2023 with a potent mix of anticipation and curiosity.
Parallel Vienna 2023, with all its vibrant exhibitions and dynamic presentations, serves as a testament to the vitality of contemporary art.
It's a reminder that the art world is a tapestry of diverse voices, each deserving recognition and support.
The challenge of artist identification, while present, reminds us of the potential for growth and improvement within the art scene.
As art enthusiasts, we should champion artists' efforts to make their work more accessible and their identities more visible.
We hope that our visit to Vienna Parallel 2023 has shed light on the incredible talent within the art world and inspired both artists and art enthusiasts to continue pushing boundaries and embracing creativity.

Together, we can empower artists to share their visions more boldly and make art accessible to all, ensuring a bright and thriving future for contemporary art.
THE CHALLENGE OF ARTIST IDENTIFICATION
However, it's worth mentioning a mild disappointment: While navigating the fair, I encountered instances where artist names were missing or identifying the creators behind certain artworks felt like a treasure hunt.
In a vast environment with multiple rooms and countless artists to explore across three buildings, sometimes it became impractical to invest extra effort in identifying an artist.
Which is truly a shame.

Otto Wagner Areal Vienna: A SENSITIVE HISTORICAL PLACE
In the face of this haunting history, introducing art and culture into this space becomes a profoundly meaningful undertaking.
This approach not only serves as a means of remembrance and education but also as a way to exorcise the shadows of the past by replacing them with the light of beauty and unforgettable positive events, ultimately transforming a place tainted by darkness into one that stands as a testament to our commitment to a brighter future.
