With around 90 established galleries and exciting newcomers from Central and Eastern Europe and the rest of the world, as well as a diverse programme and supporting events throughout the city, Austria’s leading international art fair once again promises to be an international highlight for the art scene. After three successful years as artistic director, Boris Ondreička is leaving the viennacontemporary art fair to pursue new curatorial challenges. Francesca Gavin, who played a key role in the successful special programmes ZONE1 and VCT ACTIVATION at this year’s edition of the fair, will take over his position. Gavin, who works as a curator and editor-in-chief of the art magazine EPOCH, is considered one of the most influential voices in the contemporary art scene. At the 2024 edition, viennacontemporary presents three highlights: VCT STATEMENT, a programme that builds a bridge between current social and political issues and their reflection in art, will address one of the most pressing topics of our present day: Energy. The programme includes a special exhibition curated by Mirela Baciak, Director of the Salzburger Kunstverein, as well as two international panel discussions. CONTEXT presents a new section with ten curated individual presentations of artists from the late 20th century with a focus on Central and Eastern Europe. The opening edition of CONTEXT is curated by Pernilla Holmes. ZONE1, curated by Bruno Mokross, showcases emerging talents and innovative perspectives in the contemporary art landscape.
