We are very happy to visit the Kosmos Theater in October, where SALOON members will get reduced tickets (12€) for the theater play "Alte Meisterin". First, we will have the exclusive chance to talk to theater director Veronika Steinböck and play director Sara Ostertag. After that, we are going to see the play.  

What to expect? 

They exist, the great female masters. Undiscovered, unnamed and forgotten female artists. Art history has left them out. From young female artist to old master, on the trail of female art icons. “I am the Picasso woman,” Maria Lassnig once said. The great female genius of contemporary painting only wanted to be measured against those who define the canon. Who stages this canonical art history? Who stages the countless layers of female gazes? The artist creates art, but who creates the image of the artist?

For our October SALOON we are planning another outing outside of Vienna. Please join us in October at Kunstverein Baden!

We are very happy that its director and SALOON Wien member Katja Stecher is going to guide us through the current exhibition "Fragments proposés" and give us an exclusive look into the Kunstverein.

The exhibition provides insights into an artistic-curatorial exchange that began as part of a residency in Paris in May 2024. In "Fragments proposés" at Kunstverein Baden, the artists Miriam Hamann (Saloon Wien Member), Constanze Schweiger and Javiera Tejerina-Risso (Saloon Paris Member) take up the principle of the “Cadavre Exquis” by using fragments of their earlier works and reinterpreting them. In this way, one work can return and evolve into another.

We are very excited about this September's SALOON meeting as we will head out to Salzburg to meet our Munich Saloonistas and to visit some special venues. Moreover SALOON founder Tina Sauerländer is going to join us!

This will be our program:

When we arrive we'll visit Galerie Vonier, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac and Salzburger Kunstverein, where we'll get exclusive tours and insights. During a lunch break at Stiegl Keller, we will have time for geting to know and exchanging with the members of SALOON Munich.

September is here and we're excited to seeing you again at our next SALOON meetings!

Please join us in September at viennacontemporary for an exclusive tour through the fair and an event with other Viennese women's networks.
