Contemporary Matters Studio

Contemporary Matters would like to thank all visitors, artists, curators, helpers, supporters, neighbors for the both beautiful and challenging time we had as a collective in Seestadt.

From 2021 to 2023 Contemporary Matters ran a studio space in Vienna's 22nd district (Seestadt), funded by Bank Austria. The Contemporary Matters studio functioned as an (editorial) office, meeting place and exhibition venue. Through the location and funding of the studio, Contemporary Matters took up new themes: Working and living on the periphery of Vienna, gentrification, the biodiversity of a newly built neighborhood, and financial dependence on a capitalist corporation. The Contemporary Matters Studio was open by appointment and available to artists, cultural practitioners, and researchers.

During the two years Contemporary Matters was able to organize numerous exhibitions, events and other happenings.
