Curatorial context

The Wien Museum's entrance pavilion serves as a stage for 'DachArt', a yearly street art project. For its second iteration, 'DachArt #2', multidisciplinary artist Käthe Löffelmann has created a significant work visible from the museum's terrace. Löffelmann, known for her photography, video art, installations, site-specific art, and painting, often addresses sociopolitical themes and ambivalent emotions with a touch of humor, frequently creating comic-like scenes with messages in public spaces. This specific installation delves into societal upheaval and resistance, incorporating portraits of early Austrian women's rights activists Käthe Leichter and Adelheid Popp, alongside a quote on redistribution and a reference to Rosa Jochmann's call for critical thinking. The artwork's unique perspective from above, combined with the architectural context of the pavilion and Karlsplatz, offers a compelling visual experience for visitors.
