Hosting a collection of commissioned artworks and texts, the Palais des Beaux Arts Wien surrounds an Art Nouveau building of the same name from 1908. Without a key to access the building, artists are invited each year to engage with the violent past, shaky present, and potential futures of the site. Here, the institutional framework takes on multiple roles of occupation, probing whether, and how, artistic interventions can apply pressure to larger technological, aesthetic, and political surfaces, if at all.
