One such intervention is the Austrian artist Alfredo Barsuglia displayed on the large forecourt with a large-format sculpture entitled "Das Wunder" which means the miracle. The sculpture was created as a response to the corona pandemic and the associated lockdown, i.e. at a time when you could hardly see cars driving around on the streets.

In this year's edition of PARALLEL VIENNA, one room will be equipped with a library. Acting as an archive for the 2020 fair, and present exhibition catalogs as well as artist books of the exhibited positions. The guests are invited to read these books, to discover and buy them.
Due to the current situation, they will unfortunately have to forego the popular, large opening and closing parties this year. Instead, a wonderful rooftop bar on the roof terrace of the building invites you to enjoy a panoramic view of the city with a few cocktails throughout the week. I will most certainly take this opportunity enjoy the art exhibited, and then as a finale I will enjoy the view, on the top floor, cocktail in hand.
We are looking forward to our visit, and will then write about our impressions - stay tuned!
