The mobile pavilion as an international ambassador 

A specially produced miniature version of the mobile pavilion's presentation room with the same content is now travelling as an international ambassador. The filmic contributions on the topics of art, climate change and space exploration are presented on a semi-circular screen to create an immersive experience, supported by a special sound module. 

In cooperation with the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs of the Republic of Austria and the Province of Styria, collaborations with international cultural forums have been agreed.

Opening: 13. November 2023, 7pm
at Austrian Cultural Forum New York, 11 East 52nd Street, New York
Duration: 14. November 2023 - 7. January 2024

Opening in the Austrian Cultural Forum New York

 A part of this presentation space is now specially hosted in New York. The exhibition in the Austrian Cultural Forum combines video art, experimental film, contemporary composition and research. 

On November 13, 2023, the exhibition was officially opened at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York in the presence of Styrian Governor Christopher Drexler, the directors of the Universalmuseum Joanneum, Marko Mele and Josef Schrammel, as well as a small Styrian delegation. Among them were four artists from the exhibition, Benedikt Justus Alphart, Michaela Grill and Azra Aksamija.

The exhibition will be on show in New York until January 7, 2024 before travelling on to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from January 15 to February 28. The cooperation with MIT is further proof of the exhibition’s relevance on the international stage.
