Water, Mask, Night
"What kind of art can the public space of Penzing, which is a multifaceted district in the West of Vienna, need in the city of the present, Public Art Vienna asked itself in a dialogue with the District Mayor and invited the interdisciplinary working collective transparadiso to develop longer-term artistic perspectives for the district.
To kick off their large-scale artistic analysis of Penzing, transparadiso invites you to three walks with thematic focuses and performances through the district." (Public Art Vienna)
1_Water in Penzing
Boris Sieverts for Büro für Städtereisen explores the water in Penzing
Oct.7, 2023, 11:30-18:30
The river Vienna (Wienfluss) and the II. Wiener Hochquellenleitung run the full length of Penzing. Both are perceived more as structures than as bodies of water: the Hochquellenleitung in the form of its architecturally spectacular reservoir and the Wienfluss as a deep, walled shaft. The Büro für Städtereisen invites you to explore Penzing's waters, which dazzle through the architecture that conceals them.With 33.96 km², Penzing is Vienna's fourth largest municipal district. Stretched out over a long distance, the 14th Viennese municipal district is characterized, among other things, by its shares of the Vienna Woods or its border with the Vienna River and the province of Lower Austria, and today presents itself as an association of five former municipalities without a clear "district center".

Based on the complex and contradictory history of the Steinhofgründe, curator and artist Ursula Maria Probst develops a performative choreography that gives voice to the architecture, into which memories and present activities are inscribed. A script of authentic, literary and fictional passages, forms the starting point for a polyphonic speaking choir. The participants can become contributors.

Night walk by transparadiso

Saturday night in Penzing: A night walk with transparadiso along the S-Bahn and U-Bahn. A drawing detective story
Following the dip in and out of the train stations, starting at the Western border of Vienna at Weidlingau, continuing to Hadersdorf and ending in Hietzing, we explore the night atmosphere of Penzing between walking, driving and digressing. The darkness in the approaching new moon lets us deviate from the daily routine and focus our gazes. Never seen spaces open up. We begin to imagine film-like scenes and images that do not follow a linear plot and intuitively understand the city.
