Film. PARALLEL VIENNA 2020

In 2020, PARALLEL VIENNA was held for the eighth time. Strictly fulfilling all security measures necessary because of the COVID-19, the PARALLEL VIENNA occupied the Alte Gewerbehaus at Rudolf-Sallinger-Platz. On about 4200m² exhibition space, were displayed around 130 different exhibitors.

PARALLEL VIENNA presents young and emerging as well as established artistic practices and brings together art initiatives of every kind – art associations, galleries, project spaces, off spaces and artist spaces – , both Austrian and international, all under one roof. It thus combines local artistic creation with international trends and contributes to building networks and fosters exchanges between artists, curators, collectors and exhibition visitors.

PARALLEL VIENNA is a hybrid between art fair, exhibition platform and artist studio. It unites exhibitions made by commercial galleries, off-spaces and art associations and solo presentations by selected artists. Instead of the usual booths at art fairs, each exhibitor occupies a separate room of the building in which the exhibition is presented. These site-specific artworks and interventions are the trademark of PARALLEL VIENNA and make the fair a unique and alternative exhibition format outside the white cube. As a curated art fair participation is upon invitation by the curatorial team only. (Text: PARALLEL VIENNA)
