About the exhibition

In collaboration with Qwien, we engaged with the personal estate of Austrian activist, architect, artist, and scene figure Wolfgang Reder. Alongside reviewing and digitizing parts of his personal archive, we also developed an oral-history project about his life. This exhibition was conceived as an interim report and experimental insight, in which materials, anecdotes, questions, and reflections found and collected are presented in an artistic and dialogical form.

 

The exhibition was accompanied by a project presentation in which we contextualized and expanded the work by sharing part of our research around Wolfgang Reder’s life, as well as insight into our artistic-research methods. Below, we share the documentation of the exhibition along with the script from our presentation on January 22, 2026.
