↳ A central moment in the Notgalerie project is the understanding of curatorial practice and the art institution system as material for the creation of a new body of work.

In this strategy, which aims to infiltrate and visualize the art institution, the body of an abandoned wooden church was ideal. A place that symbolizes a collective identity of faith while at the same time being an empty architectural shell.

The Notkirche functioned like a found shell to open up an autonomous space on the fringes of Vienna's cultural scene. Instead of starting with an abstract discourse, it was a real, existing body through which the Notgalerie could come into being.
