Video of the Month – May 2026

A film by Aiganym Gaziz

Phantom Settlement�9:23, looped, 2025

Duration: 01.05. – 31.05.2026

curated by Pia Wamsler

This video depicts an abandoned city that was once densely populated and formed thanks to the extraction of underground natural resources. After these resources were depleted, the city was abandoned, and only traces remain of the life that once bloomed here. Four houses stand as witnesses, each representing the stories of the families who once lived in them. The narrative unfolds through fragments discovered by a drone exploring the empty streets, capturing remains of everyday life, poetic inscriptions, and material traces left behind. Although the people are no longer there, faint voices and atmospheric sounds accompany the visual journey, creating a sense of memory and presence. The work explores the interdependence between human activity and the environment, highlighting both the vulnerability of communities and the lingering traces of human history in abandoned spaces. It invites reflection on ecological exhaustion, absence, and the passage of time.

Aiganym Gaziz is an MA graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. She is a transdisciplinary artist working with technology and art, exploring postcolonial themes, dream states, and interactive digital media, including game-based environments.

STUDIO DAS WEISSE HAUS is delighted to announce that the artist Jelena Micić .ljubomir.micic is participating in an international Artist-in-Residency program at Hot Spring Project Studio (HSPS) in Taiwan.

During the residency in both Taipei and Kaohsiung, Micić will develop, expand, and install their large-scale work Bojna polja (Color/Battle Fields), a site-responsive installation composed of porous plastic nets. The artist’s physical presence is essential to adapt and finalize the piece for the upcoming Drifting Feast exhibition at the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts (KMFA). This final exhibition, curated by Shang-Lin Wu (HSPS) and supported by Eva Kovač (DAS WEISSE HAUS), underscores the vibrant cultural exchange.

This AiR program takes place in the framework of the project Drifting Feast and it is supported by the Austrian Office Taipei, the Ministry of Culture, Taiwan, the Department of Culture of the City of Vienna (MA 7), the Federal Ministry of Housing, Arts, Culture, Media, and Sport, Republic of Austria (BMWKMS), and Erste Bank Sponsoring Programme.

Jelena Micić (Vienna/Knjaževac) is an artist, curator, organizer, and a former co-director of the WIENWOCHE Festival (until 2025). Their artistic practice focuses on the politics of materials and the socio-economic dimensions of (color)systems, while their curatorial work engages with labor organizing and unionization struggles among non-citizens, migrating people, and so-called third-country nationals. Micić is currently pursuing a doctorate at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

Lena Kuzmich (they/them) is a visual artist working between moving image, bio-art, and installation. In their ongoing artistic research, Kuzmich explores how other modes of biological being and the more-than-human world can rewire one’s human sense of, and positioning in, the world. Their work uses a variety of artistic mediums as gateways and entry points for multi-species encounters. Blurring the boundaries between science and fiction, and between human and non-human domains, their work invites viewers to inhabit speculative worlds in the making.

Artist Lecture – Liljana Mead Martin in conversation with Guilherme Maggessi

Wednesday, April 22, 2026, 6 pm
Location: DAS WEISSE HAUS
Address: Hegelgasse 14, 1010 Vienna, Austria

In her lecture, Liljana Mead Martin will offer insights into her artistic practice, focusing on two recent series: Primary Futures, an exploration of the changing conditions of Canada’s primary and old-growth forests, and Deep Thirst BioOrchestra, a series of sculptural works that imagines the first returning species in a post-wildfire landscape—a niche ecosystem that takes on hybrid characteristics of humans and plants.

Both projects unite two central aspects of Martin’s work: firstly, her engagement with the legacies of changing landscapes—particularly coastal rainforest ecosystems in British Columbia—and secondly, her interdisciplinary work as an environmental researcher, which informs her artistic practice. She examines material and narrative tensions at the intersection of material ecology, industrial exploitation, and climate change. While the artist will be joining online from Canada, her works will be on display at the venue.

Following an introduction by Guilherme Maggessi, there will be a Q&A session. The lecture takes place as part of the program Immediate Matters: Speak We Must We Must Speak at Klima Biennale Wien 2026 (curated by Anne Faucheret). The event is organized by Guilherme Maggessi and made possible through the support of DAS WEISSE HAUS and the Canada Council for the Arts.

Karo Preuschl’s performances are raw, witty, and full of surprises. Playful punk on the modular synthesizer, she improvises with electronics, noise, and vocal experiments at the edges of the frequency spectrum.

Tony Wagner (he/they) is a musician and artist working at the intersection of avant-garde composition, experimental sound and trans-disciplinary performance. His practice encompasses solo compositions under his own name and under the monikers Tony Renaissance and Bogland, collaborative projects with the duo Snake Boots and the collective Transformative Narratives, as well as original scores for film, theater, and performance.

Welcome, Carlos Monleón at STUDIO DAS WEISSE HAUS!

from March 30 to April 20, 2026

We are pleased to welcome Carlos Monleón as the incoming Artist-in-Residency at STUDIO DAS WEISSE HAUS.

The residency takes place in the framework of the project Parliament of Streams. This project is supported in part by a grant from Acción Cultural Española (AC/E), a state agency.

Carlos Monleón explores digestion, metabolism, and evolution as processes of exchange, circulation, and assimilation. Through sculptural, sonic, and participatory works, such as the “edible opera” Harmony (2012) and the public platform Sauna (2017), he stages settings where taste, scent, and sound become tools for collective sensing. His recent project River Breathing voices the Ebro River’s fragility through data, sound, and the figure of the naiad. Monleón’s work is grounded in a collaborative, research-based, and multidisciplinary practice.

Video of the Month – April 2026

A film by Lena Kalleitner

Code of Conflict 2:57, looped, 2024

Duration: 01.04. – 30.04.2026  curated by Pia Wamsler

Code of Conflict is a video animation by Lena Kalleitner that explores the complex relationship between power, technology, and warfare. Set within a sterile, cold, chrome-like environment with a dystopian undertone, the work juxtaposes abstract digital code with the exposed human body as a site of vulnerability. The naked figure underscores how human lives are deeply entangled with technological systems that shape contemporary conflict. The work reflects on how technological warfare unfolds through layered political, economic, and computational structures, revealing that systems often perceived as autonomous are sustained by human decisions and material infrastructures. It critiques the concentration of interpretative and decision-making power in the hands of a small group of influential figures—tech moguls, financiers, and political elites—whose actions reverberate across social and geopolitical landscapes. By foregrounding bodily exposure within a technological environment, the animation challenges narratives of control and self-suﬃciency, emphasizing how vulnerability, agency, and responsibility emerge through deeply connected systems of violence.

Lena Kalleitner is a media artist based in Vienna. She holds a bachelor’s degree in Media Technology from the University of Applied Sciences Sankt Pölten and is currently studying Digital Art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Originally from the field of 3D Design and Animation, her practice focuses on creating multidimensional artworks, such as media installations and mixed-media experiences. While her artistic work is still strongly influenced by her experience in 3D, she also incorporates methods such as coding/web scraping/OSINT in her works, constantly driven by a focus on political and socio-economic issues.
