• SUBSTANZ

    Empathy, Outrage and Commitment in and beyond the Arts


  • Künstlerhaus Wien, 2024/25

               Substanz highlights the foundations from which we emerge: our humanity our social integration, and our will to create, thus bringing our own selves and our personal position into the world. Using an exemplary approach, the exhibition presents national and international artists and cultural advocates whose artproduction and/ or private initiatives are social acts. Through their art and their commitment, the artists strive to provide knowledge and stimulate emotional processes – they want to alert, provide comfort, and give hope. Some artists form communities, launch campaigns, or initiate funding projects. Others use specific artistic expressions to raise public awareness of urgent issues, enter into dialogue, or take a position themselves. 

    Artists: Ines Agostinelli, bi0film (Jung Hsu & Natalia Rivera), Vlasta Delimar, Veronika Dirnhofer, Georg Hobmeier, Florine Imo, Julian Jankovic, Nesterval, Jovana Reisinger, Jaqueline Scheiber, Christoph Schwarz, Selma Selman, tools4art, Darrel Toulon, Brittany Tucker, Johannes Wiener, Nazim Ünal Yilmaz, Laurent Ziegler.
