Explore Leopold Kessler's Influential Public Art and Urban Interventions at Wien Museum

This comprehensive mid-career exhibition at the Wien Museum's musa venue showcases the work of Vienna-based artist Leopold Kessler. It highlights his renowned subtle interventions in public spaces and interactive machines, alongside his early sculptural work and conceptual preparations.

The Wien Museum is dedicating a comprehensive mid-career exhibition to Leopold Kessler, a Vienna-based artist known for his subtle, often unauthorized interventions in public spaces and interactive machines that mimic urban furniture. The exhibition, the most extensive presentation of his work in Austria to date, will be held at the musa. Kessler's precise interventions in urban infrastructure, which critically examine the use and privatization of public spaces, have gained international recognition over the past 20 years. His 2022 installation 'Nordbahnzeh' in Rudolf-Bednar-Park, an oversized pink foot with a growing nail that passers-by could trim, has become a local icon. The exhibition 'Leopold Kessler. Arbeiten im öffentlichen Raum' will not only feature his most famous works but also provide the first insight into his early sculptural creations and the conceptual groundwork behind many of his projects.

Admission to the exhibition is free. Further information on ticket prices and free offers can be found in the visitor information section.
