Living Archives
A suitcase from Kyiv, unspoken words collected in a phone box, books sorted by color rather than title, a private collection—several exhibitions use “archive” as explicit vocabulary but mean something anti-monumental by it: not institutional preservation, but the urgent, sometimes precarious act of keeping things alive.

DÉRIVE – Horizont Stadt
The journal dérive – Zeitschrift für Stadtforschung is celebrating a quarter of a century of urban research with an exhibition spreading over the city. Occupying different independent spaces, DÉRIVE – Horizont Stadt is a stroll through Vienna and explores topics such as landscape, public space and appropriation, architecture, work, memory, alternative geographies and activism.
Curated by Andreas Fogarasi, Michael Klein, Paul Rajakovics
At 1:1
Throughout the tour, this programme explores spaces where art unfolds at life scale - not elevated, not behind glass, not separated from everyday life, but at 1:1: bar as gallery, queer-feminist studio in a Gemeindebau, counter-gallery without thresholds, hobbyhorsing and public space for flags.
By Bike
From municipal housing to an urban development district, via a former horse stable in Leopoldstadt to a palais with a public presence: how dependent are spaces on the city and its structures, and how do they, in turn, reshape the city? Hop on your bike and explore Vienna’s evolving landscape of art, architecture, and the Danube Canal on this tour.
