CARE MATTERS: An Exhibition of the VERBUND COLLECTION, curated by its founding director Gabriele Schor, presents around 50 works by 33 Austrian and international artists addressing the socio-politically relevant theme of care and caregiving work. Many of these works have only recently been acquired by the VERBUND COLLECTION and are being shown in Austria for the first time.

“Care” is a multifaceted concept. We worry about someone; we care for someone. The VERBUND COLLECTION exhibition focuses primarily on the social dimensions of care and caregiving work. From the Feminist Avant-Garde of the 1970s to contemporary artistic positions, the exhibition traces the evolving artistic engagement with care work across generations.
