With the opening of "The Unwritten: Highlights in Emerging Painting" happening in 25 days, I'd like to let you know of two rather cool things that were negotiated the last couple weeks:

The exhibition's finissage (Saturday, October 4th, 2014) is part of the nationwide ORF Lange Nacht der Museen (Long Night of Museums), an initiative making over 700 museums accessible with one ticket. The exhibition venue, mo.ë, seems to be the only artist-run space that managed to get into the program.

The exhibition is one of the rare initiatives sponsored by fluxguide, an Austrian startup founded by Kasra and André Seirafi, enabling museums and exhibition spaces around the globe to extend their exhibitions in a contemporary, participative way. fluxguide's smartphone app allows visitors to access a whole range of extensive background information on the exhibited works and their respective artists. This includes basic info like artist bios and work information, but also the artist's thoughts on specific pieces, or the possibility to view further (not exhibited) works of those artists the visitor is interested in - and more: Visitors can navigate their way through the exhibition space based in state-of-the-art bluetooth beacons, as well as create their own personal digital collections of favorite works. They can also comment on the exhibited works themselves, facilitating a still rare, yet long wished for possibility to connect recipients and artists - in the exhibition, but also later on, from at home (for more information, visit www.fluxguide.com).

With all these things happening, I’m so looking forward to this show - and hope you'll join us at mo.ë in the week of September 30th - October 5th, to experience a fresh look into what’s currently happening in painting, in Vienna 2014.
