SOHO in Ottakring is transforming. Following a period of conversion and renovation work in Viennas 16^th district at Sandleitenhof, SOHO in Ottakring will open a COMMUNITY / ART / CENTER in the old cinema (Spring 2021) and studios for artists in the old museum (Summer 2021).

Sandleitenhof is the largest community housing complex built during the era of Red Vienna and is located on the Western edge of Ottakring near the Vienna Woods.

SOHO 2020: Autumn program

From October 8^th til December 10^th, SOHO in Ottakring 2020 offers a multi-faceted, publicly accessible program of events on the subject of “sustainable living”. The events are a starting point for future activities at the COMMUNITY / ART / CENTER.

The program will be held by Karsten Michael Drohsel, city and regional planner, artist and designer, in collaboration with the artist Irene Lucas. It includes hands-on formats such as workshops on “Public Food Design”, on food production and supply as well as cooking. Lectures, roundtables, and film screenings will also be offered. A detailed schedule will published on a monthly basis.

Until the opening of the COMMUNITY / ART / CENTER in the old cinema, the program venue is a street-view space at Sandleitenhof called “R1”. The address is Rosa-Luxemburg-Gasse 1 across the street from the public library.

Project manager Karsten Michael Drohsel: “We are convinced that a local society that sees itself as a community of solidarity can well master the challenges of the future and give its children a good, healthy start into the future. ”

The workshops and participation formats address residents in and around Sandleitenhof and interested parties of all age groups with the offer to become familiar with food culture as well as with its production.

Participation is free, unless otherwise announced in the program.

To protect the participants, the current Corona-protection-and-distance-rules apply to all events!

A “Kyaraben” game with “Vitamin Karl”

“You shouldn´t play with food“, adults often say. But why not? What if you eat your food well behaved after having played with it?
That’s what this program is all about: the playful approach to food, colors, textures and, above all, unknown food that you may have missed so far (who likes kohlrabi?).

Soho in Ottakring wurde 1999 als erstes und einziges kontinuierlich im öffentlichen urbanen Raum stattfindende Kunstfestival Wiens gegründet. Angesiedelt in einem damals als „Slum“ diskreditierten Stadtgebiet, dem Brunnenviertel von Ottakring, wendet sich Soho in Ottakring von Anfang an dezidiert an unterschiedliche Bevölkerungsgruppen.

2012 fand das Festival von 8. bis 26. Mai im Ottakringer Brunnenviertel, im angrenzenden Hernals, sowie in Exposituren in Fünfhaus und in Neubau statt. Unter den insgesamt 43 temporär bespielten Schauplätzen befanden sich neben öffentlichen Plätzen, Straßen, Hausfassaden und selbst dem Luftraum über dem Brunnenviertel auch Ateliers, leerstehende und benütze Geschäftslokale, Schulen, das ehemalige Marktamt am Yppenplatz, die alte Schieberkammer am Meiselmarkt, drei Gasthäuser, ein Kino, ein Ballsaal, eine Druckerei und zahlreiche lokale Kulturinitiativen.

In einer Zeit gesellschaftlicher, ökologischer und ökonomischer Krisen widmeten sich mehr als 100 teilnehmende KünstlerInnen und Kulturschaffende in künstlerischen Projekten und experimentellen, spielerischen oder hintergründig reflexiven Formaten dem Thema „Destabilized Ground / Unsicheres Terrain“. Das Festival entwickelte sich im Lauf der zwei Wochen zu einem kollektiven Laboratorium, in dem gemeinsam erprobt, provoziert, gestritten und gefeiert werden konnte.

Die Arbeit von Soho in Ottakring findet seit 2011 in einem biennalen Zyklus statt. Das Preisgeld der Bank Austria wird sowohl in die laufende (Entwicklungs-)Arbeit einfließen als auch für konkrete, prozessorientierte künstlerische Projekte im urbanen/sozialen Raum verwendet werden.

Soho in Ottakring freut sich über die Anerkennung durch die Verleihung des Bank Austria Kunstpreises und bedankt sich bei allen, die am Festival 2012 mitgewirkt haben und spannende Projekte realisierten!
