Within the Field: Vienna
This presentation brings together a selection of works encountered within contemporary museum collections in Vienna, placed in dialogue with artists from Adler & Moriarty.
Rather than comparison, the exhibition operates through proximity, considering how images, forms, and structures recur across different contexts of display. Works are viewed not in isolation, but within a broader visual field in which relationships emerge over time.
By presenting these materials side by side, the exhibition reflects on how meaning is shaped through context, and how practices can resonate across institutional and non-institutional spaces alike.
The aim is not to draw equivalence, but to create a framework in which affinities, tensions, and continuities can be observed.
