MUNCHIES ART CLUB CHECKS OUT 7 GALLERIES IN VIENNA 2020
There Is A Lot Going On In Vienna. The Art Scene Is Slowly Developing Plan B Should The Government Implement Stricter Restrictions Due To The Rising Numbers In Covid-Cases. Right Now Though, We Can Still Visit Exhibitions, So Take Advantage Of All The Art World Has To Offer In September. The Weather So Beautiful And It Is A Time To Go Out Enjoy And Explore The City. Vienna Is Filled With Fascinating Galleries Showing Awesome Exhibitions And Two Art Fairs Are Taking Place End Of The Month. September Begins With The 'Curated By' Festival, Then End Of The Month We Have The 'Parallel' And The 'Vienna Contemporary' Art Fairs Taking Place.
The day we chose to visit some of the Galleries involved in the curated by festival, was beautiful. We walked through 3 different districts. We explored smaller back roads, and felt like tourists in our city. We discovered new cafes, shops and architectural wonders.
We admired not only the art, but we were also awed by the amazing venues the galleries are situated in. It was a 10 points day. We walked over 15,000 steps, we saw all kinds of spectacular architecture, we ate Ramen noodle soup, we discovered new corners in Vienna, we visited exceptional galleries in impressive spaces where we were welcomed openly.
At the end of the day we went home filled with new impressions, inspirations, and art that spoke to us not only through its beauty but also through its messages. It was a very good day.
GALLERY NÄCHST ST. STEPHAN ROSEMARIE SCHWARZWÄLDER
CURATOR : HANS ULRICH OBRIST
We started our tour at the Gallery Rosemarie Schwarzwälder in the first district around the corner from the Stephans dome in Vienna, their guest curator was Hans Ulrich Obrist, incase you dont know him he is very well in the global art scene.

Obrist was a good friend of famous female austrian artist Maria Lassnig. She suggested to him that when she died he should replace her with the artist and writer Frederike Mairöcker.
Fredericke Mayröcker was the partner of the Austrian writer Ernst Jandl.
He was part of the writer collective "Wiener Gruppe".
There is no certainty anywhere, there is only hope Quote by Friederike Mayröcker
In the exhibition at Galerie Nächst St. Stephan we saw drawings from Mayröcker called Schutzgeister (guardian spirits).
Gallery Informations
The collection of drawing are a loan from Viennas National Library.
The second floor gallery space, is worth discovering and a must see for artlovers.
GALLERY LISA KANDLHOFER
CURATED BY : CURATED BY BONAVENTURE SOH BEJENG NDIKUNG
We walked from the center to the Scharzenbergplatz to visit the gallery in the brücknerstrasse 4. The space is great, stunning rooms.
We love spaces where the very old roof top is made of glass, filling the rooms with such a stunning quality of natural light. The impressive exhibit for me was a painful reminder of the tragic repetitveness of time.

We had to make a short stop at one of our favorite galleries. The exhibition on view is not part of the curated by festival, but never the less its on the Schleifmühlgasse, we are fans of the gallery and we love their current exhibit showing works from the very talented artist Tomak. Stunning artworks that should be visited in person to fully appreciate their size and detail.

GROUP EXHIBITION CURATED BY : ALISTAIR HICKS
We entered a very small space and saw some steps going downwards. We asked if there was more and we were told that there was more below. Down the narrow steps we went to find ourselves in another small space that then turned up and we could hardly concentrate on the art, the space was breathtaking. So big, so different, so large hidden away surprising us, I felt like Alice in Wonderland following the rabbit.
We also loved the art selected and shown in this awesome room with our favorite a glass ceiling. A stunning group show curated by Alistair Hicks.
The staff was really friendly, proffessional and sympathetic. I could have spent the day there, or even moved in, if my son wasnt waiting outside, bored and hungry.
The international artist list is impressive and it was wonderful having the opportunity to stand before an actual artwork from artist Marcel Dzama.
