Face Painting for children

Victoria Coeln stages Vienna's Stadtpark as a walk-in media art installation, inspired by seven powerful female characters from Strauss' operettas.

The overall project concludes by looking for ways out of the New Dark Age: artists such as Super Nase & Co,Enrique Mendoza,Akiko Ahrendt, Elvin Brandhi & Kabath Abas,Dror Feiler & BPO, David Schweighart and many more create performative spaces for this purpose.

With radical sound experiments, physical interventions and transmedia settings, they are taking a stand against political paralysis and aesthetic nostalgia. Between noise, ritual and rebellion, a temporary zone is created in which new forms of coexistence, resistance and hope are tested. Beyond empire, canon and harmony.
