Wednesday was a very busy day indeed. I met my group in the afternoon at the Museum Quartier, where we met with Lorenz Seidler, who founded the popular website EsEl.at, that lists all the events taking place in and around Vienna's art Scene. He has also created and number of art festivals in the area. He maintains 4 databases of information, and uses animals to illustrate different kinds of events, including donkeys, poodles and owls. So many ideas were generated in speaking with him, that next years Digable will defo have some added twists based off of one conversation.
Weisse Haus
Wednesday evening, we convened at the Wiesse Haus, a network of buildings that provides artist studio spaces and some residency opportunities for both artists and Curators. We met with their resident curator as well as took some time to introduce ourselves to their artists who were alerted to our arrival and prepared their art for review by our curators.
We met a wide variety of artists in the spaces of the Wiesse Haus, and it was encouraging to see what young up and coming austrian artists were creating there. To find out more about The Weisse Haus, click on their link new.dasweissehaus.at/en
