A Cooperation between STRABAG ART and Künstlerhaus Vereinigung A Cooperation between STRABAG ART and Künstlerhaus Vereinigung

Curated by Sebastian Haselsteiner (STRABAG ART, Head) and Günther Oberhollenzer (Künstlerhaus, Artistic Director)

The exhibition IM ERWEITERTEN RAUM [In Expanded Space], a collaboration between STRABAG ART and the Künstlerhaus Vereinigung, focuses on outstanding artistic approaches in drawing and painting – works from the STRABAG ART Collection that, in strikingly different ways, explore and test the boundaries of their medium. They once again demonstrate that these traditional means of expression in contemporary art have lost none of their radiance or expressive power in today’s multimedia reality. The diverse works – at times expanding into space, and several created specifically for the exhibition – impress through their formal mastery and conceptual depth. The ten Austrian and international artists featured in the exhibition are all winners of the STRABAG ART Award.

In dialogue with the main exhibition, the Factory space will provide deeper insight into the STRABAG ART Award. Artworks by a total of 34 national and international painters and drawing artists from the STRABAG ART Collection can be seen (28 February–29 March 2026).
