2017 KUNSTHALLE WIEN LECTURE SERIES
Monika Szewczyk “Learning from Athens (working title)” or the work of making art history
Monika Szewczyk is a member of the curatorial team of documenta 14, which will take place this year in Athens and Kassel under the title “Learning from Athens.” In her lecture, Szewczyk discusses the concept behind the exhibition and how it relates to documenta’s history. The idea behind “Learning from Athens” is that it is time to transform the documenta exhibition by changing its location. documenta 14 will take place coequally in two cities and by alternating between two cities it aims to alienate the exhibition. Active in both Kassel and Athens, the exhibiting artists will integrate the respective contexts into their work and will seek to enter into a dialog with the public.

Vanessa Joan Müller – Biennale di Venezia
Vanessa Joan Müller, who is curating the Albanian Pavilion at the 57th Biennale di Venezia, presents a look back ahead at the "mother of all biennials" and how political conditions are reflected in the history of what is probably still the most important art biennial.
Susanne Titz: Museum Abteiberg Mönchengladbach – Hans Holleins erster ikonischer Museumsbau
Susanne Titz is director of the Museum Abteiberg in Mönchengladbach, the first museum building erected by Hans Hollein. The iconic architecture won the international architecture prize "Pritzker Award" in 1985.
At the Museum Abteiberg, Susanne Titz's concept focuses on a reconsideration of the special history of ideas and identity of the museum, which opened in 1982, with site-specific projects by Paulina Olowska, Monica Bonvicini, and Michael Stevenson, among others, as well as cultural and institutional history framework programs.
