Continuing the concept of the exhibition series "Junge Szene" ("Young Scene"), which has been conducted since the 80's, "The Experiment" will present international artists, who have previously not had an opportunity or too little opportunity to present their positions to a wider audience.
 
Eight projects are planned, independent of the schedule of other exhibitions in the house, in which several artists will work together with alternating curators. Leitmotifs for the exhibition series are questions of how scenes emerge as working contexts and the specific ideas of young, experimental art. The Experiment is intended to pose artistic methods for discussion, which do not aim only to produce a finished work, but also include processual work.
 
The concept for the exhibition series "The Experiment" is by Dorit Margreiter. In addition to Dorit Margreiter, the exhibitions will be curated by Carola Dertnig, Ulrike Kremeier, Hemma Schmutz, Rike Frank, Christine Bruckbauer and Barbara Clausen.
