The exhibition on arbeitsgruppe 4 provides an opportunity for a culture-historical engagement with the network between a range of disciplines in the arts and cultural arena in Vienna during the 1950s and ’60s. A relatively small circle of protagonists and institutions in the fields of architecture, art, music, film and literature who were in close contact with one another character- ised the specific atmosphere of the Viennese avant-garde of the time. Key members of what was an interesting sociotope are our guests for the evening, and provide insight into their experiences and memories.
