“The Contemporary Matters Studio is a work and exhibition place on the very outskirts of Vienna in the orderly planned neighborhood of Seestadt. Run by the platform Contemporary Matters, the space offers itself for projects that relate to awareness of ‘the contemporary’ in an increasingly interdisciplinary context. While the platform is independent, their studio is financed by Bank Austria. Hence, in their ‘curated by’ Contemporary Matters format, the collective picks up their topic including the context they work in - ‘financial dependency from a capitalist company.’ Their ‘hosted by’ Contemporary Matters on the other hand allows guest artists to pick their topic freely and use their space at no cost.”
