Freiraum Ukraine

An initiative by MuseumsQuartier Wien and springerin

April 6 to June 6, daily, 12:00-18:00
frei_raum Q21 exhibition space, Museumsplatz 1, 1070 Wien

 

MuseumsQuartier Wien is making frei_raum available to artists who have been forced to flee the war in Ukraine. This will provide them with a space for work, exhibition, discourse, events, and interaction. The project is an initiative of springerin in cooperation with the coordinating office 'Office Ukraine – Shelter for Ukrainian Artists' and financed by the City of Vienna. “FREIRAUM UKRAINE” begins on 6 April.  Evening events, open to the public and with free admission, are planned to take place from the end of April.

As a co-working space, “FREIRAUM UKRAINE” offers all artists who have fled the war opportunities for self-representation, but also for communication and exchange with the local community and with their colleagues who are still on the ground in Ukraine. The refugees include creative artists who resided in Ukraine without a Ukrainian passport, as well as those from the opposite side of the warring parties who stand in solidarity with them.

The project is intended as an open mirror of their respective developments, problems, and reactions, and of their artistic reflection. Together with students from art universities and creative artists from other cultural institutions in Vienna, “FREIRAUM UKRAINE” is a port of call for projects, collaborations, expressions of solidarity, initiatives, and presentations.
