Summary

Bringing together a select group in tune with both places, the editors asked artists based in Vienna and Los Angeles to contribute a snapshot of their thinking—a spontaneous record in form of a brief written or visual statement to capture an outlook in the future flavored by this very moment in suspense, sheltered in place, and socially distant. Los Angeles–Vienna: an oscillating exchange informed by contrast frequently leading to a surprising outcome. How will this vivid and relevant sphere made up by these two very different urban environments advance tomorrow? 2020 as a pivotal moment in time, captured in artistic footnotes.
