WARUM NICHT DIESER RAUM? Ein Theater, das sich ordentlich aufführt.
A project by the University of Applied Arts Vienna during Vienna Art Week 2026.
As part
of this year’s Vienna Art Week, the University of Applied Arts Vienna is hosting an exhibition programme comprising two events
at its Expositur on Paulusplatz in the 3rd district: Students from the departments of Site-Specific Art and Sculpture and
Space have been working there alongside various groups of people in the abandoned open space in St. Marx, exploring the theme
of temporary uses and the issues surrounding them – the lost spaces in this city, the search for new ones, and what needs
to change now.
WARUM NICHT DIESER RAUM? Ein Theater, das sich ordentlich
aufführt.
“Much was promised to us, and much was never delivered. A romantic comedy turned into a horror film,
a pirate became a tennis player, and temporary uses turned into abstract theatre. Nevertheless, a group of young and not-so-young
urban developers from below sets out once again to reclaim what was taken from them.
But what is that sound coming from
behind the abandoned bowling alley?”
