Text KELET

  • Österreich, Wien

Mentions: curated by_vienna 2022, KELET

This year’s theme KELET is dominated by the traumatic geopolitical events that currently overshadow all art and culture talk, namely the Ukraine war. This is particularly keenly felt in a city like Vienna, which historically has long been the easternmost of the major capitals. Impulsgeber Dieter Roelstraete has suggested calling this overarching thematic framework “Kelet,” which is Hungarian for “East”-the opposite of “Nyugat,” the title of an influential avant-garde journal published in Budapest in the early years of the 20th century.
