About me
I am a born and raised Viennese and a natural born traveler. I love to extend my horizon by meeting new people, above all the locals when traveling. My favourite hobby in Vienna is to walk around and get a new perspective on the Viennese way of living – day by day.
I make my living working in a gallery for contemporary art. Being the assistant to the director of Hilger contemporary is a demanding job but is also a lot of fun because I get to know a diversity of people – ranging from artists to curators, collectors -basically everyone who remotely has got to do with the art business. Furthermore I have the opportunity to (assist to) organize an exhibition or a presentation at an art fair from the scratch.
From my point of view I live in of the most interesting areas of Vienna – the 4th district, Wieden. Not only is it close to the city center (10mins by foot, 2 Metro stops to Stephansplatz- the “heart of the city”) but also is it kind of famous for its art scene, the galleries, a buzzling nightlife, great coffeeshops and nice little shops offside the main roads and official Viennese hot spots.
Why Vienna?
- Tradition versus an alternative lifestyle
- Up and coming, more and more opening up to the rest of the world, above all to the east, now that the borders are open it is being considered the gate to the eastern way of living.
- Even though it’s a relatively small city it is big when it comes to diversity regarding art, culture, views on the (inter)national microcosms.
- Get the Vienna experience and judge for yourself. It’s full of tourists at any time of the year but we still need more non-mainstream travellers.
