About
studio das weisse haus is a residence and studio program for local and international artists, curators, theorists and critics. The program was founded in 2013 by Kunstverein das weisse haus. Our main purpose is to offer a platform where professionals from the art field can work together. We seek to support artistic practice and create a site where innovative projects can prosper. The main goal of this residency is to support an international artist with a two-month stay in Vienna, in order to carry out his/her ongoing research project.
Notgalerie Seestadt – DREAM ESTATE is an art project by Reinhold Zisser that emerged from the Notgalerie, an exhibition space in the urban development area of Seestadt. After its disappearance in 2020, carried out as a participatory stage play over three months, it’s grid-like structure serves as the platform for contemporary art in summer and autumn. A collective of internationally established curators and artists are invited to explore and reshape the site and its significance.
