� Secession —— There are three reasons<br />
to visit the Secession: the famous architecture<br />
with its golden dome, one of the<br />
key works of the Jugendstil period, the<br />
famous Beethoven-Frieze by Gustav<br />
Klimt in the basement, and the contemporary<br />
art exhibitions. This is the<br />
oldest white cube in the world and still<br />
operates as an artist’s association; they<br />
take great pains in preparing an overall<br />
ambitious program. Stars like Mike Kelley<br />
or Thomas Hirschhorn responded<br />
to the Viennese association’s invitation.<br />
For the local scene, the Secession is a<br />
springboard to an international career.<br />

� Bawag Foundation and Generali Foundation<br />
—— In 2008, something came together<br />
that did not belong together. Out<br />
of cost consideration, the exhibition<br />
spaces of the Bawag bank and the Gen-<br />
eral Insurance Group united their efforts,<br />
and now exhibitions from both<br />
groups alternate shows in the Generali<br />
Foundation exhibition rooms. The concrete<br />
exhibition space, built in 1995 by<br />
the Viennese architects Jabornegg &<br />
Palffy, has been praised for its pureness<br />
and simplicity, and has influenced the<br />
style of a whole generation of exhibition<br />
architects. The Generali foundation,<br />
founded in 1998, can take from its exceptional<br />
collection of conceptual and<br />
performative art, which has a number<br />
of works by Eastern and South-eastern<br />
European artists, while the Bawag made<br />
its name above all with international<br />
artists like Jeremy Deller or Susan Hiller.<br />
