HangART-7
Art at Hangar-7
HangART-7 presents an innovative approach to the subject of art: every exhibition is dedicated to a particular country or region and displays the works of young, promising artists – an artistic journey around the world that started out with Austria in 2005 and has since taken in a further 18 stops.
Hangar-7 is not an easy place in which to showcase art: 7,000 square metres of glass around a steel frame, a wing profile of almost 100 metres in length. Everything breathes transparency, light and weightlessness. There are no walls, no supporting surfaces and the light changes constantly with the position of the sun. However, it is precisely this unique atmosphere that makes Hangar-7 one of the liveliest art galleries in the world. This is not least due to the HangART-7 concept, which is tailored to the special architectural conditions and which is curated and supported by basis wien.
With guest countries such as China, Spain, Russia, South Africa and Mexico, and cities such as New York and Los Angeles, visitors to the exhibitions are able to gain an insight into widely varying international art scenes. The artists themselves are, in most cases, at least as inspired by the exhibition location as the patrons: often works are created on site that play with the special spatial conditions or the exhibits in the hall.
It is precisely this interaction that sets Hangar-7 and every HangART-7 exhibition apart: the atmosphere is not at all dry or “museum-like”. The exhibition space is brought to life by its visitors and their different interests and by the stimulating contrast between the exhibition themes: technology in all its forms on the one side, and the equally varied art on the other.
