THE
VIENNA ART WEEK 2026
EXHIBITION

This year’s theme provides the starting point for HOUSE OF NAVIGATING ANGST, an exhibition curated by Robert Punkenhofer, Artistic Director of the VIENNA ART WEEK, and co-curator Anne Zühlke.

The exhibition is presented in a striking late-19th-century building in Vienna’s 15th district, which, before undergoing renovation, will be transformed into the VIENNA ART WEEK’s festival headquarters for one week.

Spanning four levels—from the basement to the top floor— the exhibition brings together works by over 30 international artists. It approaches the phenomenon of angst from different perspectives, while also making the building itself part of the artistic exploration.

With free admission and guided tours, VIENNA ART WEEK aims to engage a broad audience and make contemporary art as accessible as possible.
