THE OFFICIAL SITE OF THE ASSOCIATION OF VISUAL ARTISTS VIENNA SECESSION In keeping with the motto that adorns its facade—“To each era its art.
(740)

To art its freedom.”—the Secession hosts an international program that explores current forms of artistic expression in solo and themed exhibitions. It is a sounding board for the aesthetic and critical discourses on art, culture, and society that define our era and keenly aware of their political significance. The Secession is an important forum for young experimental art, but its mission also encompasses prominent established positions. Essays, catalogues, symposia, and lectures supplement, document, and communicate the program of exhibitions and events.

--

Im Sinne ihres an der Fassade angebrachten Mottos „Der Zeit ihre Kunst. Der Kunst ihre Freiheit“ realisiert die Secession ein international ausgerichtetes Ausstellungsprogramm, das in Einzel- und Themenausstellungen relevante künstlerische Ausdrucksformen der Gegenwart präsentiert. Es ist ein Sensorium für die ästhetischen, kunst-, kultur- und gesellschaftskritischen Diskurse, die unsere Zeit prägen, und die politische Bedeutung, die ihnen zukommt. Die Secession ist ein wichtiges Forum für junge Kunst mit einer Bereitschaft zum Experiment. Ihr Konzept umfasst aber auch markante, bereits etablierte Positionen. Texte, Kataloge, Symposien und Vorträge erweitern, dokumentieren und vermitteln die Aktivitäten des Hauses.

Bernhard Leitner. SOUNDSPACESCULPTURE

Bernhard Leitner conceived the publication accompanying the exhibition, compiling the materials and drafting the book design. Previously unpublished notes, theoretical reflections, sketches, and photographs by the artist from the late 1960s to the present form the book’s core. A new essay by the musicologist Stefan Fricke as well as reprinted notes by the art historians Hermann Kern and Gerhard Storck provide insights into Leitner’s art.
