Exhibition program for the first half of 2024

In their final program as artistic directors of Kunsthalle Wien, What, How & for Whom / WHW (Ivet Ćurlin, Nataša Ilić and Sabina Sabolović) remain true to the core principle of their curatorial work: to turn the spotlight on art’s capacity to spark critical reflection.

As before, the programming for the first half of 2024 gathers local and international positions that limn art as a communicative space: works by Rene Matić and Oscar Murillo are shown in a double exhibition, for which the two internationally renowned artists draw significant inspiration from Vienna. We also continue our successful collaboration with Wiener Festwochen, mounting a group exhibition that connects the power of the sun to social and political movements. Our ongoing efforts to promote the local arts scene, meanwhile, are front and center in the exhibition showcasing the winners of the Kunsthalle Wien Prize 2023.

On this page you can find detailed information about the individual exhibitions as well as press images available for download.
