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.

Milica Tomić’s solo exhibition Is There Anything in This World You Would Be Ready to Give Your Life For? is on view at the gallery until 27 March, don’t miss it!

In his Theses on the Philosophy of History (1940), for Walter Benjamin, history is not a clean forward movement toward resolution; it is a mounting accumulation of unresolved violence that continues to shape the present. This vision finds a powerful echo in Tomić’s exhibition, Is There Anything in This World You Would Be Ready to Give Your Life For?. The artist’s solo exhibition with Charim follows her mid-career survey at Kunsthaus Graz and her participation in the 13th Berlin Biennale last year. The title, a quote by the artist’s mother, the Yugoslav actress and artist Marija Milutinović.

Entering the gallery, a site-specific chalk drawing of the Borromean knot introduces the exhibition’s conceptual framework. In Lacanian psychoanalysis, the knot binds together the three interdependent spheres of the human psyche, the Real, the Symbolic, and the Imaginary. For Tomić, this form becomes a way of thinking through how subjectivity, social order, and political history remain structurally entangled. The knot also recalls her mother’s macramé practice, a traditional knotting technique in tapestry-making with origins traceable to ancient Assyria. In this context, the structure invokes feminised labour and forms of generational transmission that persist across time.

The constellation of works in the second gallery foreground Tomić’s research-based practice across film, installation, painting and archival display that interrogate political and military violence, social amnesia, and the mapping of situated micro-histories against the unresolved violent legacies of the 20th century. A core theme is investigating the entanglement of private interests and economic profit with histories of collective violence – rendering visible the conditions through which these are obscured, and perpetuated.

Judith Eisler‘s paintings will be shown in the group exhibition “still (a little life)” opening on 7 March at PART International Art Residency in Vienna!

Curated by Barbara Horvath, “still (a little life)” brings together photography, painting, and sculpture that reflect on moments of stillness, suspended time, and the fragile intensity of life between light, memory, and technological transformation. Throughout the exhibition, these works scatter small fragments of time, glimpses of life, whether paused, suspended, captured in a single moment, or observed closely. Within this stillness, which leaves space for everything that could happen, this little life remains.

Judith Eisler’s work hangs together with work by the artists Neven Allgeier and Pakui Hardware. Eisler pauses the cinematic moment itself. She holds single frames still to paint what trembles inside them: a nocturnal walk in falling snow, Maria glancing backward as the car moves forward beneath a canopy of trees, John making coffee, an intimate gesture fractured by distortions of light and pattern. In these images, the figures hover between past and present.

Robert Muntean work will be on view in the exhibition: “Im Erweitertem Raum – STRABAG ART & Künstlerhaus Vereinigung” opening at Künstlerhaus, Vienna tonight! The show runs until 7 June.

Curated by Sebastian Haselsteiner, Head of STRABAG ART, and Günther Oberhollenzer, Artistic Director of Künstlerhaus Vienna, this exhibition centers on contemporary approaches to painting and drawing. Featuring work from the STRABAG ART Collection, it highlights artistic positions that challenge and expand the boundaries of these mediums in diverse ways. The exhibition demonstrates that, even in today’s multimedia-driven world, traditional forms of expression retain their vitality and expressive power. The featured work – varied in scale and in some cases created especially for the exhibition – stand out for both their formal precision and conceptual depth. The ten Austrian and European artists presented are recipients of the STRABAG ART Award. In dialogue with the main exhibition, the factory premises offer deeper insight into the Award, additional work from the Collection is on view, representing a total of 24 national and international artistic positions.
