Add to calendar

Creative minds gather at Creative Days Vienna for two days of lectures, tours, performances, installations and networking to discuss the latest interplay of technology, culture and society.

 

MY BODY IS A TEMPLE is an exhibition about technology, architecture and the theory of the body. The phrase refers to habits of self-care, body-optimization, and perhaps the products associated to the maintenance and sanctity of an idea of what a “functional” body means. As a linguistic device, it spatializes the body into a built environment, where one can sit, inhabit and reflect. It is also an experimental exhibition formed at the intersection of post cyber-feminist studies, femtech and new media theory. Curated by Carmen Lael Hines and Never At Home.

Never At Home
Never At Home
Interim Use Initiative

Never At Home has been promoting art and culture through the temporary activation and artistic use of vacant properties since 2021 and is now in its fourth location with the former ORF Funkhaus. There, they provide studios for over 100 visual artists, musicians and creatives. The former studios of Radio Wien now serve as event spaces where Never At Home curates a diverse programme. The thematic focus is on dealing with vacancies and the significance of the historic Funkhaus as a cultural centre.
