Fotogalerie Wien
FOTOGALERIE WIEN, founded in 1981, is a non-profit gallery and constituted as an association: “Verein zur Förderung künstlerischer Fotografie und neuer Medien”.
It sees itself as an information gallery that operates independently of the dictates of the commercial mainstream. The gallery’s objective is to show contemporary photographic art, interdisciplinary projects and new media as well as to react directly to current, controversial topics and issues.
Curatorial activity is an essential feature of the gallery. Together, the collective, which currently consists of 11 artists and theoreticians, develops thematic exhibitions that are put together from submissions and collected ideas.
KUNSTZELLE
The KUNSTZELLE, a former telephone box from the 1960s, stands prominently in the courtyard of the WUK Werkstätten- und Kulturhaus and has been a venue for artistic installations and interventions since 2006. The program is curated by initiator Christine Baumann together with Pablo Chiereghin. The KUNSTZELLE offers artists a pivotal point from which to address their work to a broad audience of visitors and passers-by and has been explored anew again and again for almost 20 years. In addition to artists with longer professional experience, students from the TransArts / die Angewandte class show selected works every three years.
