Aldo Gianotti
For 19 days, the premises of the Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien - used since 1989 for exhibitions of fine art in the classical format - functioned as a space for the unfinished, the vulnerable in-between, in which art is created. HOUSE OF CONSTRUCTS transformed walls into surfaces for constantly growing messages and drawings, rooms into zones for encounters and experimentation. At the heart of the project was the work NINETEEN MUSEUMS: in the main room there was a different artistically conceived and guided intervention every day.
