KUNSTVEREIN GARTENHAUS
ས་གཞི་སྔོན་པོ་འགྱུར། (The Earth Turned Green) is a solo exhibition by artist Shen Xin featuring a newly commissioned installation that centers restorative practices drawn from the Tibetan language through performance, land and family histories. Xin’s work as a moving image artist often explores potential relations outside of nationalistic belonging. Their recent research focuses on multitudes of the self and the other, as well as the interrelationship between culture and ecology.
KUNSTVEREIN GARTENHAUS is a not-for-profit space in Vienna, dedicated to displaying and commissioning contemporary art, supporting international and Austria-based artists to pursue new directions and exhibit critical work. With a focus on film, performance, sound and new writing, the program supports interdisciplinary practices and under-represented positions. Taking as a starting point the history of Vienna as a center for radical performativity and experimental artistic discourse each year unfolds as a series of exhibitions critically expanded and in dialogue with an active public program of performances and events. For audiences, the space provides opportunities to experience and engage through participation and reflection. KUNSTVEREIN GARTENHAUS operates as an exhibition space, publishing house and community platform. KUNSTVEREIN GARTENHAUS was founded in 2021 by Attilia Fattori Franchini and Ursula Mayer.
