Who is coming? In 2018, viennacontemporary again offers an extensive program with special exhibitions of young and established artists in the special programs ZONE1 and Explorations, and a special show Focus: Armenia that offers a glimpse of the Armenian realities in the rethinking of six contemporary artists. This presentation is the very first overview of Armenian contemporary art at an international art fair. Evolved from Cinema, the program Living image uses Augmented Reality technology to feature artistic films surrounding the topic of music.

25 countries – from China to Georgia, from Korea To Romania and Bulgaria – are well represented here by over 100 galleries. Sculptures, intallations, paitings, illustrations – there is something for every genre here. From Romania – 418GALLERY, Borderline Art Space, : BARIL, EASTWARDS PROSPECTUS, JECZA GALLERY.

  • ZONE1 presents artists under the age of 40 who are born, educated or living and working in Austria. Curated by Victoria Dejaco, the 2018 edition showcases artists with the ability to look closer at the stories of everyday life, political situations, materials and the “conditio humana” (human condition).
  • The new Explorations section presents curated booth presentations by featured galleries. It unites a wide spectrum of artistic practices concentrating on both excellent quality and advanced approaches.
  • Armenia section – The artists exhibited include: Ayreen Anastas & Rene Gabri, Mher Azatyan, Arman Grigoryan, Piruza Khalapyan, Rebecca Topakian, Mika Vatinyan.
