Parallel Vienna 2025: Not a Performance, Just Rehearsal for Press Day

Parallel Vienna 2025 press day at the Otto Wagner Areal unfolded like rehearsal and revelation, mixing fresh discoveries with artists already on our radar.

Parallel Vienna 2025: Young artists set the tone on press day at the Otto Wagner Areal, turning historic hospital rooms into site-specific encounters in Vienna’s leading alternative contemporary art fair.

Inside Parallel Vienna 2025: press day chaos, rehearsal vibes, and the artists who made the fair’s rooms worth returning to.

The doors opened not to anticipation, but to a building site: unfinished rooms, artists missing or hurriedly installing, fair organizers barely managing to mumble a welcome at the official speech.

The notorious roughness of Parallel Vienna is a draw, Vienna’s annual alternative to the polished white cubes and market glare of other fairs.

But this time, what counted as “charm” was nothing more than a lack of preparation.

Parallel Vienna 2025: **Yu Aichinger**, one of our featured artists on Munchies Art Club, presented installations of jeans and boots scattered across gravel floors at the Otto Wagner Areal, works evoking presence, absence, and the traces we leave behind.

The deeper failing was asking the press to document the event before many of the artists had even been given a chance to finish, present, or breathe.

Parallel Vienna 2025: Painting by Erin Patricia Sankey showing a female face partly obscured by lace-like patterns, exhibited at the Otto Wagner Areal, Vienna. New discovery artist featured with statement. — Parallel Vienna 2025: **Erin Patricia Sankey**, a new discovery presented in the fair’s curated *Artist Statements* section, showed a haunting portrait layered with lace-like patterns, a work balancing intimacy and disguise.

Who Pays for Early Exposure? Not the Organizers

Other fairs respect their artists by inviting the press to see finished work, ready for public eyes.

Parallel Vienna 2025: **Javier Carro Tempoury**, presented in the fair’s curated *Artist Statements* section, showed wall-hanging ceramic works that splice decorative plates into architectural forms. It was the first time I encountered his practice live, and the material presence of these pieces left a strong impression.

Parallel’s scheduling did the opposite, shining a light on fragile beginnings and incomplete installations, exposing artists to scrutiny before they had the chance to do themselves justice.

Parallel Vienna 2025: Installation by Florian Lang, presented by OHO (Offenes Haus Oberwart) in the Project Statements section. Painted sky walls and a central mirrored painting created a striking presentation at the Otto Wagner Areal, Vienna. — **Parallel Vienna 2025:** **Florian Lang**, presented by OHO (Offenes Haus Oberwart) in the fair’s *Project Statements* section, was a new discovery and one of my favorite presentations. He took full advantage of his room, painting skies across the walls and installing a central work that transformed the space with precision and atmosphere.

Let’s be clear: the visible “chaos” wasn’t on the artists. Bare walls, paintings leaning against bags, and empty rooms were the direct result of a scheduling choice.

Parallel Vienna 2025: **Guido Sarti** presented paintings that combine intimate interiors and surreal landscapes, blending everyday presence with imagined scenes.

Parallel Vienna 2025: Painting by Adel Dauood, represented by Artecont Gallery, abstract green composition with organic shapes, exhibited at the Otto Wagner Areal, Vienna. — Parallel Vienna 2025: **Adel Dauood**, represented by **Artecont Gallery**, presented expressive paintings rich in layered greens and fluid forms, a striking highlight of the fair.

Parallel Vienna 2025: **Olga Shapovalova**, previously featured on Munchies Art Club, appeared in the fair’s *Artist Statements* section with works full of folklore and imagination, from sculptural forms to uncanny painted figures.

A Dry and Hot Welcome: No Water, No Respite

If the art fair is meant to be a gathering place for creativity, the conditions were surprisingly inhospitable.

No water was provided anywhere, not to press, not to artists. The aging pipes of the Otto Wagner Areal made tap water not even drinkable.

Parallel Vienna 2025: Wooden sculpture by Martin Krammer with multiple carved heads and open mouths, exhibited with Art Collection Schlichtner in the Project Statements section at the Otto Wagner Areal, Vienna. — Parallel Vienna 2025: Martin Krammer, presented by Art Collection Schlichtner in the fair’s *Project Statements* section, showed bold sculptural work, a many-headed wooden form that fused raw carving with a surreal edge.

With temperatures rising and multiple floors to navigate, thirst was a relentless companion.

Parallel Vienna 2025: Figurative painting by Babette Semmer, exhibited with Galerie Roberta Keil in the Gallery Statements section at the Otto Wagner Areal, Vienna. — Parallel Vienna 2025: **Babette Semmer**, represented by **Galerie Roberta Keil** in the *Gallery Statements* section, presented a figurative painting charged with intimacy and intensity, where everyday gestures turn into staged encounters.

No nearby shops or refreshment stands meant many of us had to brave the heat dehydrated and uncomfortable, an avoidable burden that added indignity to an already fraught day.

Parallel Vienna 2025: **Natalia Gurova**, previously featured by us, presented in the *Artist Statements* section a series of ceramic sculptures shaped by her multidisciplinary practice. Fluidly moving between concept and craft, her works balance fragility and strength, unfolding like fragments of speculative storytelling.

Press Day: Performance or Premature Critique?

Press day is supposed to be a privilege, an early pulse-check, a preview of adrenaline.

Parallel Vienna 2025: In the *Artist Statements* section, **Olga Pasteková** (left)and **Li Jun** (right) both recently featured by us, welcomed us into their booths, where conversation and art unfolded side by side.

What we got was something closer to a behind-the-scenes scramble. The organizers’ speech began and petered out, outdone by exhaustion.

Oľga Paštéková: Paintings where nature speaks backSlovak painter Oľga Paštéková turns stains, bleaches, and ghosted lines into wolves, rivers, and lantern-houses, lyrical eco-paintings from Bratislava & Vienna.

Previous years featured drinks, sometimes even food and with that genuine exchanges, a sense of being welcomed into something vital.

Photographic series by Florian Genzken documenting different views of a McDonald’s building, exhibited in the Artist Statements section at the Otto Wagner Areal, Vienna. Previously featured on Munchies Art Club. — Parallel Vienna 2025: **Florian Genzken**, previously featured on Munchies Art Club and presented in the fair’s *Artist Statements* section, showed a series of photographic works capturing the shifting face of a single McDonald’s façade, repetition turned into reflection.

Today, most conversations were with a handful of artists, some still at work, apologizing for spaces that should have been finished.

The heart of the event, its energy and discovery, was lost to timing.

Parallel Vienna 2025: Installation by Sebastian Kelemer with rows of colorful cut-out figures attached to strings, exhibited in the Artist Statements section at the Otto Wagner Areal, Vienna. — Parallel Vienna 2025: **Sebastian Kelemer**, presented in the fair’s *Artist Statements* section, covered the wall with playful cut-out figures, repeating forms that turned humor and motion into a rhythmic installation.

Young artists, many showing at this scale for the first time, deserved a guiding hand, not the risk of first impressions forged in a pressure cooker.

Parallel Vienna 2025: In the *COOP Statements* section, **Dean Maassen** (left) and **Michael René Sell** (right) presented works that paired playful surrealism with intricate graphic detail.

Why This Hurts: Visibility and Artist Rights

Worse, in Austria, visibility isn’t just about audience, it is about practical support. Thanks to Bildrecht, published press images mean real money, recognition, and opportunity for artists.

But with installations unfinished and spaces in flux, many press outlets skip coverage of anything but the official summary, leaving out the very artists who most need the spotlight.

Parallel Vienna 2025: Installation by Gabriela Oberkofler, represented by Storm and Schooner, combining branches with small sculptural forms and detailed drawings, exhibited in the Gallery Statements section at the Otto Wagner Areal, Vienna. — Parallel Vienna 2025: **Gabriela Oberkofler**, represented by Storm and Schooner in the fair’s *Gallery Statements* section, created a poetic installation where delicate drawings and sculptural branches intertwined, evoking cycles of growth and decay.

The Artists: Still the Brightest Thing in the Room

Yet the story is not all misfire. Many artists, and the galleries, met this adversity head-on.

In rooms where work was ready, and conversations alive, the spark was real.

Parallel Vienna 2025: **Anastasia Khoroshilova**, represented by **Galerie Hilger** in the *Gallery Statements* section, presented poignant large-scale portraits addressing memory and loss.

True discoveries came from those who transformed unfinished spaces into charged encounters, from others still working as the press entered, living proof that art-making is process as much as product, and from those who, with little time left, managed to turn their rooms into genuine sites of exchange and care.

Their effort and resilience deserving of headlines.

Parallel Vienna 2025: Painting by Johanna Freise with surreal figures, animals, and bold colors, exhibited with Galerie Elisabeth & Klaus Thoman in the Gallery Statements section at the Otto Wagner Areal, Vienna. — Parallel Vienna 2025: **Johanna Freise**, represented by in the fair’s *Gallery Statements* section, presented a vivid painting where figures, animals, and dreamlike settings collide in charged color.

Next Time: Give the Artists the Stage

Vienna’s art week moves quickly, with curated by, viennacontemporary, and countless pop-ups all demanding attention.

Parallel Vienna 2025: Installation by Olaf Osten, translucent fabric with architectural drawings and plant motifs, exhibited in the COOP Statements section as part of Il Mondo Esterno curated by Daniela Wageneder-Stelzhammer at the Otto Wagner Areal, Vienna. — Parallel Vienna 2025: **Olaf Osten**, part of the *COOP Statements* presentation *Il Mondo Esterno* curated by Daniela Wageneder-Stelzhammer, showed a translucent installation that layered architectural space with drawn lines and delicate imagery.

The artists at Parallel Vienna deserve a fair chance to be seen at their best, and I have no doubt they will shine on opening night.

Sadly, because of scheduling, I will not be there to witness it.

Parallel Vienna 2025: Installation by Gelitin in the Jugendstil Theater indoor sculpture garden, featuring an oversized sofa-like form draped with patterned carpets, blending humor and ornament. — Parallel Vienna 2025: **Gelitin**’s work was on view in the Jugendstil Theater’s indoor sculpture garden, where their oversized upholstered form merged humor, scale, and ornament into a playful installation. *The colossal Sofa (2019), according to the artists, can be understood as “a homage to the outsized Franz West.”*
