In the music, a remix is ​​a new version of already composed pieces of music - the processing of original recordings, in which the existing voices or sound traces are mixed up. This is also how our presentation is to be understood - the Viehof collection and the in -house contemporary collection are mixed up here in order to show the strengths and topicality of both collections and to bring our visitors closer to contemporary art in a multifaceted duet.

Collection in Austria, but the relationship with the Albertina has been going on for a long time: Since 2007, individual, important works of the Viehof Collection have been in the Albertina collection. Building on this in the form of cooperation in the form of long -term cooperation from 2025, this has been decided for the coming years. The research of the Collection of Viehof -its various works and artists -opens the Albertinagleich two options: On the one hand, relevant works and groups of the names represented in both collections can be brought together, and the audience can thus be given a wide range of insight into the work. On the other hand, the complementary differences between the two collections can be determined on those artists who are not represented on both sides, and also contribute to the expansion of contemporary art.
