This air sculpture by Austrian artist Hannes Langeder is an inflatable imitation of the 40 ton bust of Karl Marx in Chemnitz, Germany, and an exhibit of the "Parallel Vienna", a hybrid between art fair, exhibition platform and artist studio which currently takes place in Vienna for the 6th time.
On Saturday afternoon I attended the Parallel Vienna. This art festival presented the works of more than 400 young and aspiring as well as established national and international artists. I have to admit that I didn't quite understand most of the "artworks"...
Besides the art fair "Viennafair" (mentioned here and here), last weekend another art event was going on: the "Parallel Vienna", a platform for innovative forms of presentation of contemporary art. It took place at the former K&K Telegrafenamt (Imperial and Royal telegraph office), a city palais from the 19th century. The building is very much run down, but the staircse is still beautiful.
