Wegbeschreibung Website Kontaktieren Sie das Museum

Collectors Agenda is a digital art platform, a printed magazine that runs by the title The Collectors Chronicle, and a project space downtown Vienna, Austria.

Collectors Agenda is a cross-medial art platform and the publisher of the printed journal The Collectors Chronicle that is available for free at major art fairs and other events of the cultural scene. Very much like a perpetual calendar, our editorial contains timeless and insightful stories of our meetings with much-discussed artists and other actors of the art world. Our reader base is composed of the entire spectrum of the art world, including artists, art critics, gallery and museum professionals, journalists, stablished and aspiring collectors, and art enthusiasts from the creative industries. We bring a fresh approach to the landscape of art journalism by avoiding the typical ‘art speak’ in our copy and thus help broaden the appeal of art discussions, beyond the inner circles of the art scene, reaching out to a new generation of future collectors. Subscribers to our newsletter are informed when we publish new stories or release new limited editions and work series in collaboration with international artists. Our artist collaborations – exclusive editions in low numbers and limited work series – are exhibited in our project space downtown Vienna, typically as solo shows. You also find us at international art fairs such as Art Cologne or viennacontemporary.

In the Studio with Robin Kid () 🤩

Raised in a working-class mining neighbourhood in the south of the Netherlands, next to an American army base, and now based in Rambouillet, France, Robin Kid builds large-scale paintings and silkscreens from found images: cowboys, police officers and cartoon Americana taken from film, television, toys and advertising. Layering these images, he explores how mass media shapes our memories and our sense of reality, and how images flatten and persist as they circulate. His new series LIFE layers the figure of the cowboy with references to the Waco siege.

»My work is grounded in strong convictions, but it shouldn’t provide simple moral conclusions to a complex reality.«

Meet 𝗖𝗢𝗣𝗬 𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗦, the new everlasting calendar by 🐈

After closing time, the cats sit on the copier and press Start. The best copies are bound into this calendar, based on a true story. Each of its 13 pages shows one cat’s copy, the month and a piece of useless cat trivia. The dates are left blank, so you write them in yourself, and the calendar works for every year. Pre-orders are open now, and shipping starts on November 5.

Cats have long been a favourite subject for the Vienna-based photographer. With us, Daniel Gebhart de Koekkoek released his edition »Jumping Cats«, a series of fine-art prints of cats leaping through rooms, in an edition of 9 + 1 AP per motif. Discover the edition on Collectors Agenda (link in bio).

BREGENZ—𝗧𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝘆𝘀𝗼𝗻 () is at , and can be seen until January 24, 2027.

Torkwase Dyson calls herself a painter, but her practice reaches far beyond the canvas. In large-scale sculptures, drawings, architectural installations and performative works, she connects the body, space, nature and infrastructure. She is especially interested in how Black bodies perceive, shape and move through space. Her abstract forms are shown in the four floors of Peter Zumthor’s concrete-and-glass building.

BERLIN—𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗗𝗼𝗼𝗿 with Tacita Dean, Thomas Demand, Olafur Eliasson, Henrik Håkansson and Tomás Saraceno is at , and can be seen until June 27, 2027.

In the early 2000s, these five artists were neighbours: their studios were in the warehouses right next to the museum, where all of them began their careers. For the Hamburger Bahnhof’s 30th anniversary, the exhibition brings them back together with new and large-scale works. Tacita Dean presents a new film responding to Bruce Nauman’s installation in the Rieckhallen. Thomas Demand’s large photographs float through the space on pavilions, and Olafur Eliasson’s overlapping circles of light respond to a sound composition. Henrik Håkansson’s video installation follows the wing beats of a butterfly, and Tomás Saraceno shows 14 Billions (Working Title) for the first time in over 15 years. Curated by Sam Bardaouil and Ulya Soley.

VIENNA—𝟭𝟵𝟮 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗼𝗸 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁 by Lap-See Lam is at , and can be seen until November 22, 2026.

For her exhibition at the Secession, the Stockholm-based artist (*1990) presents a new group of works in mouth-blown glass, installation and sound. The title refers to a street in Hong Kong where Lam documented the bamboo scaffolding used in construction, and where her grandmother once worked as a fruit seller. In the foyer, a monumental bamboo sculpture seems to pierce straight through the building. Downstairs, a chandelier evoking root systems lights the room, while mandarins lie scattered in the corners. Isolated and reworked in glass, the scaffolding elements rest on mirrored surfaces, accompanied by a continuous hum from a repurposed air-conditioning unit, composed by Marlena Salonen and Linus Hillborg. The glass works were produced during Lam’s residency at Cirva in Marseille. Curated by Haris Giannouras.

MILAN—𝗔𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗼. 𝗜𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 by Luciano Fabro is at , and can be seen until February 21, 2027.

Pirelli HangarBicocca presents the first museum retrospective in Italy dedicated to Luciano Fabro (1936–2007) since his death, one of the leading figures of Arte Povera. Around fifty sculptures and installations fill the vast Navate, tracing how Fabro explored space and perception: from his early mirror works of the 1960s to the paper “habitats” he built to house and activate his works, some of them reconstructed from his original plans. Highlights include La Luna and Il Sole (1997), Prometeo (1984) and the Iconografie (1975–80). Curated by Fiammetta Griccioli, Roberta Tenconi and Vicente Todolí, with Silvia Fabro (Archivio Luciano e Carla Fabro).

FRANKFURT—𝗔𝗯𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮 by Anna Hulačová is at , and can be seen until January 10, 2027.

In her first solo exhibition in Germany, the Czech artist presents figurative sculptures that bring together Surrealism, Socialist Realism and Czech folk art. Having grown up on a farm, Hulačová looks at the relationship between humans, nature and technology from an ecofeminist perspective, addressing biodiversity loss and the consequences of industrial agriculture. Many of her works are made in co-creation with her bee colonies, which swarm into the cavities of her sculptures and fill them with honeycomb, so that concrete and wax, the organic and the technological merge. The title refers to Abundantia, the Roman goddess of prosperity, whose cornucopia conceals the resources and labour that abundance depends on. Curated by Martina Weinhart, the exhibition is part of the Czech Republic's Guest of Honour programme at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2026.

In the Studio with Lewis () 🤩

Born in London and based in Vienna, James Lewis works with what remains when certainty begins to disappear: data, family photographs, scientific classifications, scent and fragments of memory. His installations move between the empirical and the deeply personal, exploring how we construct knowledge and what happens when the systems we rely on begin to drift. His work is currently on view in "Lives and works in Vienna" at Kunsthalle Wien and at the 18th Lyon Biennale.

»I'm rebuilding a world I don't have direct access to.«

IENNA—𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝘀𝗰𝗵 𝗜 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘂š𝗮 𝗦𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻 is at , and can be seen until October 17, 2026.

Our current exhibition brings Vienna-based (*1986) into dialogue with Ljubljana-based (*1978). Both artists approach sculpture through the body, as a structure that holds strength and vulnerability, support and care. Hirsch works with silicone, metal, fabric, thera-bands, fascia balls and orthopaedic cushions, drawing on somatic techniques. Sagadin's installations take modern architecture as a starting point to explore gender, language and sculpture.

We visited both artists in their studios: read the full conversations on Collectors Agenda (link in story).
Visit us at Franz-Josefs-Kai 3, Wednesday to Friday 12–6 pm and Saturday 12–4 pm.
