The fair presents Austrian and international contemporary art in this amazing and abandoned space.

It’s uncanny how the Parallel team always finds these incredible spaces, turning these forsaken buildings back to life breathing and exuding art into old forgotten rooms, endless hallways  once again filled with energy.

PARALLEL VIENNA is a wonderful mix of art fair, exhibition platform and artist studio. GALLERY STATEMENTS, PROJECT STATEMENTS, ARTIST STATEMENTS and artistic INTERVENTIONS offering a wide range of contemporary art. Exhibitor occupy rooms of the building.

These site-specific artworks and interventions are the trademark of the PARALLEL VIENNA and make the fair a one of a kind exhibition format. As a curated art fair participation is only possible if invited by the art fairs curatorial team.
