Spatial concept and installation, Anatolia Schnitzel, Vienna
Exhibition and program curated by: Oevre and Possy Kollektive

Until its closure in spring 2019, the storefront on Hofmühlgasse in Vienna’s 6th district housed a halal version of a schnitzel takeaway. After the operator moved out, an increasingly rare situation in central Vienna emerged. The collective surrounding Anatolia Schnitzel was granted temporary use of the space by the building’s owner before she planned to reopen it as a co-working space following a complete renovation.

The collective occupied and programmed the space from summer 2019 until spring 2020. The aim was to create a temporary third space, hosted by a different group of artists each week alongside an overarching weekly program.

A meeting space for people from different disciplines and cultural backgrounds, involving neighbors and creating accessible encounters with art for new audiences. Readings, performances, exhibitions, concerts, film screenings, workshops, discussions, a non-commercial communal space.
