Vienna 02

The next day started with an interview. Me and some friends went to the sculpture departement of the Akademie der Bildenden Künste to meet austrian artist Heimo Zobernig, who is also a professor at the Akademie (I'll post the interview here as soon as it's been published!).

Afterwards we went to the MUMOK to meet Susanne Neuburger, one of the permanent curators. She gave us a guided tour through their depot a place normal visitors can't regulary see. Although there's a quite interessting Erwin Wurm exhibition at the moment we didn't have the time to see it, we instead concentrated on Fokus 3. Concept. Action. Language whichs architecture was planned by Wilfried Kühn assisted by Steffen Oestreich from KuehnMalvezzi.

In the meantime I had the chance to make a little sightseeing tour (although it was my third time in Vienna and I already knew the tourist's hot spots) on the Ringstraße via tramway (No.2).

Last stop for that day was the Thomas Zipp exhibition opening at the Galerie Kritzinger. There were so many people, so many known faces (even my professor from Karlsruhe...). Thomas Zipp is a quite crazy guy teaching at the Akademie Karlsruhe at the moment ("Man muss halt coole Sachen machen!"). In my opinion he's just another one of these young coke snoring artists (?) doing rubbish and beeing sold far overpriced..., anyway.

Very last stop was a by austrian architect Herrmann Czech (I did an interview with him last november) designed Restaurant and a taxi ride back to the hotel afterwards.

Part 03 coming soon.
