Curatorial context

Klaus Pichler's photographic series, 'Donaupark (2013/14)', was produced as a commissioned work for the Wien Museum's 2014 exhibition, 'WIG 64. Die grüne Nachkriegsmoderne'. Spanning from August 2013 to February 2014, Pichler embarked on extensive explorations of the 600,000 m² Donaupark. His lens captured not only the distinctive landscape architecture and design features of the park, which originated from the 1964 Vienna International Garden Show (WIG 64), but also meticulously documented the multifaceted ways in which it is utilized today. The resulting images offer a comprehensive visual study of this significant green space. The collection features numerous photographs depicting various aspects of the Donaupark, including iconic landmarks like the Cascade Fountain and Rose Garden, commemorative statues such as the busts of Simón Bolívar and Salvador Allende, and playful elements like the 'Dinosaurier und Pandabär' sculptures. Pichler's work also highlights the park's role as a community hub, showcasing activities ranging from sports training and chess games to skateboarding and dog obedience classes. The photographs were taken during different times of day and seasons, providing a dynamic portrayal of the park's life and evolution.
