Curatorial context

Opening on September 11, 2025, "Familie Schick – Eine Spurensuche von Bianca Pedrina" is a unique, process-driven exhibition by visual artist and photographer Bianca Pedrina. The project delves into the history of the Schick family during the Second World War, embarking on an artistic investigation into the traces left by her great-grandfather Moritz, grandmother Blanka, and great-uncle Emil in Vienna. The exhibition unfolds over a year within a dedicated museum space, starting largely empty and progressively incorporating objects, artifacts, letters, and film and sound documents. The curatorial approach utilizes the patina of the emptied space as a structuring element, complemented by a graphic concept from bueronardin and an evolving website. The exhibition is linked to the recent unveiling of memorial stones for seven Shoah victims in Mariahilf, with the museum's event marking the commencement of this extensive research project. Pedrina's work focuses on remnants, gaps, and connections, aiming to reconstruct a narrative through tangible and ephemeral evidence. The project also integrates the exhibition website as a component of the display over time, emphasizing a dynamic and layered approach to historical inquiry and artistic representation.
