MuseumsQuartier Wien

For the ‘ORF Long Night of Museums’, the MQ is transformed into an experience space, where music and art come together to create an inviting atmosphere for lingering and discovery. The MuseumsQuartier Wien is one of the world's largest art and cultural centres. It combines historic buildings with contemporary architecture and stands for openness, diversity, and social change – an urban place for everyone.

Austrian artist Thomas Feuerstein is showing his exhibition ‘Metabolica’ in the MQ Freiraum. The work cycle, which he has been working on since 2017, is being presented in its entirety for the first time. Feuerstein has transformed the space into a molecular factory where new materials are created from algae and their fatty acids. These are then moulded into sculptures and fed back into the cycle. The exhibition combines art and science and opens up new perspectives on resources, circular economy, and social models for the future.
