Editorial Profile

VIN VIN is an experimental contemporary art space in Vienna’s Innere Stadt, operating at the intersection of exhibition-making, publishing, and critical discourse. Founded in 2017, the gallery has developed a program that moves fluidly between emerging and mid-career artistic practices, with a particular focus on conceptual, research-based, and cross-disciplinary work. Its exhibitions frequently engage with installation, sculpture, text-based practices, moving image, and expanded curatorial formats, often foregrounding process and collaboration over conventional commercial presentation. Within the context of contemporary art in Vienna, the space occupies a distinct position by combining the flexibility of an artist-run initiative with the visibility of a centrally located gallery, contributing to a broader ecology of galleries in Vienna that includes both experimental and more established programs.

The curatorial direction often extends beyond the exhibition itself through editions, publications, and collaborative projects, reinforcing an interest in discourse-driven and editorial modes of practice. VIN VIN has presented solo and group exhibitions by artists such as Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński, Jala Wahid, and Anita Leisz, reflecting an engagement with politically inflected, materially diverse, and internationally connected practices. Its program also participates in Vienna’s wider network of independent spaces and institutions, where contemporary art production is shaped by dialogue between commercial galleries, non-profit initiatives, and museums such as those found among the city’s institutions in Vienna. In this way, VIN VIN contributes to the internationalization of Vienna’s contemporary scene while maintaining a locally embedded, critically oriented identity.

About 1 Cubic Meter 1 Cubic Meter

1 Cubic Meter is an editorial map of contemporary art venues and exhibitions, built city by city to document where contemporary art is produced, presented, supported, and encountered.

The project is built on a principle of horizontality, both geographic and qualitative. It gives attention to scenes outside the established circuit alongside the major capitals, and approaches a small artist-run space with the same editorial care as a long-standing institution. Each entry is the outcome of editorial selection, a curatorial reading of contemporary art across painting, sculpture, installation, performance, moving image, and other current practices.

We maintain the map continuously, with its focus kept entirely on contemporary art.
