Every autumn, 24 Viennese galleries invite international curators to respond to an annually changing theme in the form of an exhibition and thus address the most pressing issues of our time. Since May 2025, curated by has also welcomed two new co-directors of the festival, Attilia Fattori Franchini and Christina Linher. Under the title Fragmented Subjectivity, the festival is transforming Vienna into a centre for international critical discourse and artistic experimentation. This year’s curated by festival is dedicated to the contemporary subject and its dystopian character – torn between focus and distraction, seeing and being seen, characterised by alienation and optical failure: a subject of the unconscious.
