Kakania

Kakania celebrates the culture of Habsburg Vienna a century ago, with commissions of contemporary artists from 21st century London.

Kakania with an array of contemporary artists working in poetry, visual art, sound and conceptual art - aims to not just to evoke the Habsburg era, but to envelope it, to transpose it, to avoid nostalgia and in its stead bring the intensity and innovation that marked the last days of the Habsburg era.

Featuring brand new commissions from:

Sharon Gal on Anton Webern;
Jeff Hilson on Ludwig Wittgenstein;
Ariadne Radi Cor and Diane Silverthorne on Alma Mahler;
Dylan Nyoukis on Raoul Hausmann;
Stephen Emmerson on Rainer Maria Rilke;
Maja Jantar on Lou Andreas-Salome.
