Alban Muja’s work is featured in “Not All People Exist in the Same Now” at the National Gallery of Kosovo (Galeria Kombëtare e Kosovës) - the country’s leading institution for modern and contemporary art, recently reopened following an extensive renovation, inaugurating a new chapter in its institutional history. The reopening exhibition is on view this summer until 26 August!

“Not All People Exist in the Same Now”, curated by Hana Halilaj, brings together works spanning from the 1970s to the present, creating an intergenerational dialogue that reflects on time, memory, and the uneven conditions of the present.

Alban Muja’s project “Why Kamza” (2021), presented as an acrylic painting accompanied by a two-channel video installation, forms part of this exhibition. The work focuses on the transformation of the urban landscape on the outskirts of Tirana, tracing its continuous reconfiguration through processes of informal expansion, business-driven development, and shifting spatial conditions. Through this lens, the project reflects on broader questions of urban change, perception, and the socio-political forces that shape contemporary environments.

Don’t miss Dorit Margreiter Choy’s “Prototyp”, curated by Silvia Höller, on view at Kunstbrücke, RAIQA Quartier in Innsbruck through 4 July.

Margreiter Choy conceived and developed the new Kunstbrücke exhibition space at RAIQA Quartier in Innsbruck as a holistic artwork, in collaboration with the architectural firm Pichler & Traupmann.

“For the Kunstbrücke, Margreiter Choy has designed a grid system into which rods can be inserted, which in turn support wooden panels in three different sizes. These can be attached to the rod system individually, or side by side and one above the other. They provide space and opportunities for presenting artworks, projecting video works, or configuring new spaces. Additionally, a rail system is mounted onto the ceiling where various curtains can be hung. These divide the space into separate zones and provide dynamism through their wave-like arrangement and varied color palette: blue like in a TV studio, green like a green screen, black and white. They control the incidence of light and create a path through the space that breaks up the rectangular architecture. This creates a flexible system of movable textile walls that enter into a dialogue with the existing wall surfaces, and individual segments that can be integrated into the room’s structure like screens as needed.

The Kunstbrücke can thus be adapted to the needs of various formats—exhibitions, performances, lectures—while Margreiter Choy’s intervention remains visible at all times and blends into the respective setting. The flexible architecture itself becomes, in a sense, a performative element in the space—variable, with different textures and formats. It is an active concept through which the exhibition space can transform like a stage.”

Xenia Hausner’s “Turn of Time” is a new public art sculpture and installation at the Bad Ischl train station in Austria.

The work confronts the urgent ecological and sociopolitical crises of our era through the image of a female figure suspended between alarm and awakening. With her mouth open in a silent scream, she carries a luminous clock on her head that rotates once every hour, its hands frozen at five to twelve - a stark reminder that time is running out.

The sculpture is Hausner’s reflection on growing concerns over climate change, dwindling resources, the erosion of democratic values, and threats to human dignity. By transforming the human body into a vessel of warning and appeal, Hausner captures the collective anxiety of a world in transition while urging responsibility, renewal, and change.

“Turn of Time” stands as both a visual alarm and a call for transformation, echoing Rainer Maria Rilke’s enduring plea: “You must change your life”.

We are happy to share that Lazar Lyutakov is featured in a newly published Art Basel article: “A deep dive into Vienna’s creative scene” (26 April 2026).

Commissioned through the Art Writing Programme of Phileas – The Austrian Office for Contemporary Art, the piece highlights a group of artists whose work engages with Vienna’s evolving cultural landscape. Jess Łukawska discusses Lyutakov’s practice as part of a generation shaping the city’s dialogue between history and reinvention.

The article also highlights the work of Ursula Mayer – current artist-in-residence at Charim Factory – covered by Olesia Shuvarikova in Art Basel’s overview of Vienna’s contemporary art scene.

We are very happy to announce the participation of Judith Eisler, Scott Clifford Evans and Lazar Lyutakov in “Lebt und Arbeitet in Wien, Contemporary Art from Vienna“ at Kunsthalle Wien

Opening 30 April 2026, 6 pm
Exhibition 1 May - 26 October

Kunsthalle Wien presents the most extensive survey of the Viennese contemporary art scene organised by the institution in over a decade. For six months, across all of its spaces in the Museumsquartier and Karlsplatz, “Lebt und arbeitet in Wien: Contemporary Art from Vienna“ will bring together over 130 artworks by 56 artists who live and work in Vienna, including painting, sculpture, installation, drawing, photography, performance, sound, film and video. Accompanied by a public programme of talks, performances and events, it places emphasis on the city as a dynamic space of production where art is shaped by a critical approach to the forces of conservatism and a sense of its own agency.

Initially organised by Kunsthalle Wien in 2000, the fifth edition of “Lebt und arbeitet in Wien“ builds upon a longstanding tradition of celebrating Vienna’s lively artistic discourse and diverse community of artists. Curated by Daniel Baumann, Michelle Cotton and Monika Georgieva, it focuses on new and recent works with 38 artists commissioned specifically for the exhibition and numerous artworks presented in Vienna for the first time.
