Overlapping Voices: Israeli and Palestinian Artists
KLOSTERNEUBURG / VIENNA, AUSTRIA  •  Essl Museum  •  16 May - 26 October 2008
 
 

his exhibition of Israeli and Palestinian artists offers an opportunity to discuss different artistic practices from a conflicted area.  Many of the art works in the exhibition are based on Civil Society structures, as many of the artists in this show are themselves social and cultural activists. Despite of wanting to show complexity and variety, the exhibition does not presume to encompass all visions or show the
full spectrum of positions. Rather, this show tries to shed light on some interesting corners of
the cultural and social practices and debate within the Israeli and Palestinian art scenes.

The artists include the Palestinians Osama Zatar, Raed Bawayeh and Jumana Manna, and the Israelis Yoav Weiss, Shula Keshet, Tal Adler and the Tel Aviv groups Parrhesia and Zochrot.

The Essl Museum can be easily reached with a free Busshuttle, from Vienna City Center,
Albertinaplatz 2 (Tues – Sun, 10 a.m., 12 a.m., 2 p.m., 4 p.m.)

VIENNA, AUSTRIA  •  Liechtenstein Museum  •  Ongoing
 
 
One of the world’s most important private art collections will be open to the public again on a permanent basis. Major European works of art spanning four centuries will be on display, including paintings by Brueghel, Rubens, Van Dyck and Rembrandt. They are joined by an equally significant collection of 16th and 17th century bronzes and precious hunting weapons, tapestries, furniture and porcelain — objects which once adorned the Princely Family’s castles and palaces.

The Liechtenstein Family is one of the oldest still existing noble families. With Hugo of Liechtenstein, a bearer of this name is first mentioned in 1136. Karl of Liechtenstein was raised in 1608 to the hereditary rank of prince and was thereby the first prince of Liechtenstein.

Prince Johann Adam Andreas acquired in 1699 the lordship of Schellenberg and in 1712 the county of Vaduz. In 1719 the Emperor Karl VI unified Vaduz and Schellenberg and elevated them to the rank of Imperial Principality Liechtenstein. Thereby the Principality of Liechtenstein was established.

Until 1938 the princes of Liechtenstein lived in Vienna and Moravia. They had important functions in the military and diplomacy domains of the Habsburg Monarchy and administrated their extensive properties in Lower Austria, Bohemia, Silesia and Moravia.

In 1938 Prince Franz Joseph II was the first prince to reside in Liechtenstein.

Jan Fabre / Troubleyn
VIENNA, AUSTRIA  •  Kasino am Schwarzenbergplatz  •  24 - 27 July 2008
 
 
In 1967 Bobbie Gentry sang her “Ode To Billie Joe”, and the enigmatic blues about the suicide of young Billie Joe still fascinates listeners today. The mysterious story about a girl who learns in passing that her boyfriend jumped off a bridge inspired Belgian artist Jan Fabre, who is at home in many genres, to Another Sleepy, Dusty, Delta Day: a new solo for Croatian dancer Ivana Jozic (cf. Fabre’s Angel of Death) that will be performed at ImPulsTanz.
