Museum TV Mumok Vienna, Exact + Different
Art and Mathematics from Dürer to Sol LeWitt. Mathematics is anywhere and everywhere: The exhibition Exact and Different comments on and analyzes the junctions between art and a reality determined by numbers, computations, statistics and geometrical constructions. 120 artistic positions demonstrate how mathematical problems have influenced the 20th century avant-gardes. Magic squares -- as in Dürer's Melencolia I (1514) -- have fascinated artists just as much as the bold perspective constructions of the Renaissance.

My Vienna Trip: Museums Quartier (MQ)
The Museum Quartier Wien is one of the ten largest cultural complexes in the world.
The MuseumsQuartier unites baroque buildings, new architecture, cultural institutions of all sizes, various disciplines of art, and recreational facilities in a single spectacular location.
The spectrum ranges from large art museums like the Leopold Museum and the MUMOK (Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation Vienna) to contemporary exhibition spaces like the KUNSTHALLE wien and festivals like the Wiener Festwochen, an annual summer event this is headquartered in the MuseumsQuartier Wien. Additional highlights include the TanzQuartier, an international, state-of-the-art center for dance, the Architektur Zentrum Wien, production studios for new media, artist studios for artists-in-residence, outstanding art and cultural facilities designed for children, and a variety of other events and festivals.
The MuseumsQuartier is unequaled anywhere in the world when it comes to the breadth of cultural opportunities it offers.
The exceptional location in the heart of the city also offers all the advantages of an inner city cultural district. Terrace cafés, oases of green, bars, shops, and bookstores provide for a well-balanced infrastructure in the 60,000 square meter complex in the middle of an extraordinary setting.
Old masters and modern art, baroque and cyberspace, expeditions into the realm of the imagination, and recreation in the center of the city were never as close as in they are in the MuseumsQuartier Wien.
WALKING INTO THE MQ - Museum Quarter - Vienna

Vertigo
Op Art und eine Geschichte des Schwindels 1520–1970
Samstag, 25. Mai 2019 bis Samstag, 26. Oktober 2019
Carlos Cruz-Diez' begehbares Kunstwerk ist bis 20. Oktober 2019 im MQ-Hof zu sehen – als frei zugänglicher Part der Ausstellung Vertigo
Promenade Chromatique Vienne ist der Titel der 160m2 großen Bodenarbeit des bekannten französisch-venezolanischen Künstlers und Farbtheoretikers Carlos Cruz-Diez (*1923 in Caracas), die vor dem mumok – Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien im Wiener MuseumsQuartier installiert wurde.
Die Op Art-Promenade zieht sich vom MQ-Hof über die breite Freitreppe bis zum Entree des mumok. Op Art ist eine Kunstbewegung, die mittels abstrakter Muster und geometrischer Formen bei den Betrachtenden überraschende oder irritierende optische Effekte, die Vorstellung von Bewegung, Flimmereffekte und optische Täuschungen erzeugt. Sie schärft das Bewusstsein für die Ambivalenz der Wirklichkeit und führt vor Augen, dass die Wahrnehmung nicht objektiv, sondern einfach zu täuschen ist.
Carlos Cruz-Diez gilt als eine der Schlüsselfiguren im Bereich der Farbtheorie des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine Arbeiten befinden sich in den Sammlungen renommierter internationaler Institutionen wie dem Museum of Modern Art in New York, der Tate Modern, London, oder dem Centre Pompidou, Paris.
Seit den späten 1960er-Jahren realisiert Carlos Cruz-Diez auf Grundlage seiner Farbforschungen großformatige partizipative Kunstwerke im Stadtraum. Die eigens für das mumok geschaffene Arbeit Promenade Chromatique Vienne untersucht Farbe als räumliches Phänomen. Ihre linearen Strukturen rufen einen, Nachbild genannten, optischen Zustand hervor, auch bekannt als Persistenz des Netzhautbildes. Diese beruhen auf zwei verschiedenen, zeitgleich stattfindenden chromatischen (farblichen) Situationen. Fokussiert man den Blick für einige Sekunden auf eine rote Fläche und wendet ihn anschließend ab, bleibt das Bild der Fläche für einen kurzen Moment im Auge erhalten – jedoch in Grün, der Komplementärfarbe. Wäre die beobachtete Fläche blau, so erhielte man dagegen ein gelbes Nachbild. Eine Visualisierung vollzieht sich also stets in zwei Zeitabschnitten.
So gelingt es, ein Phänomen zu verstetigen und sichtbar zu machen, das eigentlich nur für einen kurzen Augenblick und unter bestimmten Umständen erfasst werden kann. Die Farbe, die erscheint, ist ebenso anwesend wie abwesend. Sie existiert in einem virtuellen Zustand – und ist dennoch so real wie die verwendeten Pigmente.

GOLDENROACH 02 / WIEN, 2011
This is an art movement during which I have smuggled in 14 carat gold plated bronze roaches into the Tate Modern, Tate Britain, British Museum, MUMOK (Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien) and Hamburger Bahnhof making them part of current exhibition, in June 2011. The young artist gets into the sanctuary of visual arts like a cockroach. The roach as a carrier of the message is not a random choice, and naturally the used material itself has multiple symbolic values.

Brigitte Kowanz - Now I See
25.06.-03.10.10
Brigitte Kowanz (born in 1957 in Vienna) is one of the most successful established Austrian artists. The medium of light is central to her work. Since the early 1980s she has consistently employed the medium in various ways in works for walls and room installations. Initially there were three-dimensional pictures made of neon lights that gave off a phosphorescent light and appeared to be spatially-expanded paintings. Thus, at the beginning of the 1980s, at a time when the Junge Wilde dominated the art scene with their rather traditionally-defined notions of pictures, Kowanz was setting a future-oriented counter accent. She signalized a relationship to technology and the present that was missing in contemporary painting and created a new articulation of the relationship between artwork, viewer and space that literally outshone traditional rules.

Gender Check Femininity and Masculinity in Eastern European Art
13.11.0914.02.10
'Gender Check' is the first comprehensive exhibition featuring art from Eastern Europe since the 1960s based on the theme of gender roles. 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the curator Bojana Pejić, along with a team of experts from 24 different countries, has put together a selection of over 400 works including paintings, sculpture, installations, photography, posters, films and videos. With over 200 artists, the exhibition paints an exceptionally diverse picture of a chapter in art history that until recently had been largely unknown and that could also act as an important addition to contemporary gender discourse.
'Gender Check' follows the changes in the representation of male and female role models in art especially as they develop under different socio-political conditions. The exhibition, initiated and supported by the ERSTE Foundation, shows the interrelationship between art and history following both a chronological and thematic approach:
Up into the 1960s, heroic male and female workers were the dominant figures in the socialist realist tradition of art. The intended realitytransforming program of a 'sexless society' propagated by the state was met with irony and unmasked by unofficial art at the time. Following the period of collective state utopian aesthetics, different individual and more open tendencies could be found on a local level periodically provoking a hostile response that created independent spaces for nonconformist art. Beginning in the 1970s, ideals of femininity and masculinity were reexamined beyond the propagandist clichés of the past: Self-portraits and representations of the body and subjectivity began to hint at a newfound self-confidence also reflected in openly displayed sexuality that called heterosexual standards and heroic ideals of masculinity into question. Even many of the abstract pieces worked with anthropomorphic forms and the relationship between the sexes within society.
The emancipation from role models went along with an emancipation from traditional means of expression, as new media and art forms like photography, film, video and performance became increasingly important. At the same time, more and more female artists began to gain in prominence.
With the fall of the wall in 1989 and the end of socialist regimes, new challenges became evident in the face of rising nationalism and neoliberal influences from the west. The newly won freedoms came hand in hand with neoconservative role constraints that soon also became the topic of artworks. A critique of chauvinist, militaristic, misogynist and xenophobic ideologies were expressed in the context of feminist theory. Homosexuality began to be brought up. Clichés about motherhood and traditional religious-inspired ideals of femininity and patriarchal power structures came under critique. To underline the political and public significance of female identity, allusions came to be made to historical allegories of femininity.

SUMMARY
=======
Vienna ( (listen); German: Wien, pronounced [viːn] (listen)) is the federal capital and largest city of Austria, and one of the nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's primate city, with a population of about 1.9 million (2.6 million within the metropolitan area, nearly one third of Austria's population), and its cultural, economic, and political centre. It is the 7th-largest city by population within city limits in the European Union. Until the beginning of the 20th century, it was the largest German-speaking city in the world, and before the splitting of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in World War I, the city had 2 million inhabitants. Today, it has the second largest number of German speakers after Berlin. Vienna is host to many major international organizations, including the United Nations and OPEC. The city is located in the eastern part of Austria and is close to the borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. These regions work together in a European Centrope border region. Along with nearby Bratislava, Vienna forms a metropolitan region with 3 million inhabitants. In 2001, the city centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In July 2017 it was moved to the list of World Heritage in Danger.Apart from being regarded as the City of Music because of its musical legacy, Vienna is also said to be The City of Dreams because it was home to the world's first psychoanalyst – Sigmund Freud. The city's roots lie in early Celtic and Roman settlements that transformed into a Medieval and Baroque city, and then the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is well known for having played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. The historic centre of Vienna is rich in architectural ensembles, including Baroque castles and gardens, and the late-19th-century Ringstraße lined with grand buildings, monuments and parks.Vienna is known for its high quality of life. In a 2005 study of 127 world cities, the Economist Intelligence Unit ranked the city first (in a tie with Vancouver and San Francisco) for the world's most liveable cities. Between 2011 and 2015, Vienna was ranked second, behind Melbourne. In 2018, it replaced Melbourne as the number one spot. For eight consecutive years (2009–2016), the human-resource-consulting firm Mercer ranked Vienna fir ...

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Vienna ( (listen); German: Wien, pronounced [viːn] (listen)) is the federal capital and largest city of Austria, and one of the nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's primate city, with a population of about 1.9 million (2.6 million within the metropolitan area, nearly one third of Austria's population), and its cultural, economic, and political centre. It is the 7th-largest city by population within city limits in the European Union. Until the beginning of the 20th century, it was the largest German-speaking city in the world, and before the splitting of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in World War I, the city had 2 million inhabitants. Today, it has the second largest number of German speakers after Berlin. Vienna is host to many major international organizations, including the United Nations and OPEC. The city is located in the eastern part of Austria and is close to the borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. These regions work together in a European Centrope border region. Along with nearby Bratislava, Vienna forms a metropolitan region with 3 million inhabitants. In 2001, the city centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In July 2017 it was moved to the list of World Heritage in Danger.Apart from being regarded as the City of Music because of its musical legacy, Vienna is also said to be The City of Dreams because it was home to the world's first psychoanalyst – Sigmund Freud. The city's roots lie in early Celtic and Roman settlements that transformed into a Medieval and Baroque city, and then the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is well known for having played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century.
