Along with the summery temperatures, the Viennese art scene is buzzing, and lots of great new shows call for a stroll around the city. Make sure to visit the “Tenant of Culture” artworks at Sophie Tappeiner, plan in a quick stop at secession to see the work of artist and choreographer Maria Hassabi and at Kunsthalle Wien to explore more than 35 exhibiting artists – who are located everywhere from the Amazon region to Australia, from Guatemala to India, and don’t forget to drop by Lisa Tiemann and Maximilian Rödel’s new show “Rhythmic Engagement” at Zeller van Almsick, just to name a few highlights this week. Discover more in the list below.
