Wohin im Mai?
The article, published by Monopol magazine, previews a selection of art exhibitions and biennials opening in May. Highlights include the 61st Venice Biennale, a solo show by Lina Lapelytė at Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin (part of the CHANEL COMMISSION series), a group exhibition titled "Lebt und arbeitet in Wien. Contemporary Art from Vienna" at Kunsthalle Wien, and a presentation of Christoph Schlingensief's work "The African Twin Towers" (2005) at MAK Wien. Also featured is Maximiliane Baumgärtner's exhibition at Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen in Düsseldorf.
This roundup matters because it serves as a practical guide for art audiences navigating the busy May exhibition calendar across German-speaking Europe and beyond. By spotlighting both established institutions (Venice Biennale, MAK Wien) and emerging or mid-career artists (Lapelytė, Baumgärtner), the article reflects current curatorial trends and helps readers prioritize which shows to visit. The inclusion of the CHANEL COMMISSION series underscores ongoing corporate patronage in contemporary art, while the Vienna group show signals a growing interest in local art scenes.
