ursula blickle videolounge
Video archiv

The high point of years of successful collaboration between Ursula Blickle and the Kunsthalle Wien was the exhibition Videorama: Artclips from Austria in Vienna and New York, which opened in late 2009. In 2010 Videorama will tour the world and be shown at fifteen venues in all. The works were selected by a jury composed of Massimiliano Gioni, Sabine Himmelsbach, Ian White, and the curator of the show, Angela Stief, who examined the ursula blickle video archive and selected outstanding current video art.
The ursula blickle video archive is a cooperative project of the Ursula Blickle Stiftung, the Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien, and the Kunsthalle Wien. Originally conceived as a digital media library, has grown into an archive of about 2,500 artists’ videos that is an exemplary set of tools for the work of students, scholars, and curators.
The ursula blickle video lounge presents on a large screen works by internationally renowned artists or curated video compilations in programs that change monthly. Both the lounge and the archive are open to the public at no charge.
The ursula blickle video prize is awarded annually to a student at the Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien.
