Friendship and exchange, social movements and activism, the historical dimension of imperialism and its effect on the present, and the strengthening of new nationalisms: these are the themes of the new exhibition “Stopover – Ways of Temporary Exchange” at the frei_raum Q21 exhibition space. The show is based on the Artist-in-Residence program at Q21/MuseumsQuartier, which is carried out in cooperation with tranzit and the ERSTE Foundation . An accompanying program features a number of events and excursions offering opportunities for temporary exchange and a focus on process.

A comprehensive accompanying program that includes performances, excursions, and artist talks offers opportunities throughout the exhibition run for temporary exchange and a focus on process. Detailed information you will find here.

Since 2011, ERSTE Foundation and tranzit have been collaborating within the jointly operated Artist-in-Residence programme. Artists, curators and theorists from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and the Slovak Republic have been invited to Vienna to live and work in the city’s MuseumsQuartier.
