With the exhibition *It\u2019s Not My Problem Any more!*, a quote by Schlingensief from 2005, the MAK, in collaboration with the Vienna Festival, is presenting the first comprehensive solo exhibition of the artist\u2019s work in Austria \u2013 the very country he brought to the heart of its social contradictions in 2000 through his action Please Love Austria \u2013 First Austrian Coalition Week as part of the Vienna Festival. The exhibition is not intended as a traditional retrospective, but rather brings key bodies of Schlingensief\u2019s work into dialogue with one another. It demonstrates how his artistic strategies\u2014spanning theatre, film, installation and performance\u2014interpenetrate and form a multi-layered picture of his thinking. The focus is not on the finished work, but on the process of questioning, doubting and failing that characterises Schlingensief\u2019s practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CHRISTOPH SCHLINGENSIEF \u2013 It\u2019s not my problem any more!<\/strong><br>13.05.2026 \u2013 13.09.2026<br>Vienna, MAK \u2013 Museum f\u00fcr angewandte Kunst<br>Stubenring 5<br>1010 Vienna<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mak.at\/\">www.mak.at<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13.05.2026 \u2013 13.09.2026 He was controversial, blurring the boundaries between art, theatre, film and politics: Christoph Schlingensief (1960\u20132010).
