The exhibition format ZONE1 exclusively features artists under 40, who live, work or have been educated in Austria.... Since 2015, ZONE1 is one of the highlights of the fair and highly valued by art experts and visitors.

“The main priority of my curatorial concept for ZONE1 was to invite artists and galleries who represent a new generation of the Austrian art scene. Some young artists who studied here went abroad for a period of time, others come here because of the nice opportunities to study. On the other hand, young entrepreneurs ventured into opening new galleries with compelling programs, other galleries resettled in Austria or grew out of the diverse free scene. These reciprocities create the variegated communities that characterize Austria’s contemporary art scene. ZONE1 is an attempt – by no means claiming to be exhaustive – at presenting these communities.”
