About Phileas – The Austrian Office for Contemporary Art
Phileas – The Austrian Office for Contemporary Art supports artists, curators, galleries and institutions in Austria by strengthening their presence on the international landscape of contemporary art. Through long-term partnerships with museums, biennials and art institutions around the world, we enable the production and exhibition of new artworks and their donation to public collections.
We run an active Visitor Programme that invites international curators and critics to Austria, organising visits to artists’ studios, galleries, artist-run spaces, museums and foundations. Our exhibition space and office in Vienna provide a window into our international activities and serve as a meeting place for exhibitions and our Public Programme.
This year, we will commission and organise the second Austrian Pavilion at the Gwangju Biennale, in collaboration with the Federal Ministry, and continue our ongoing support of the Austrian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
In addition, we publish a series of First Monographs to provide the first comprehensive overview of an artist and their work as the first comprehensive artist’s overview; support and promote Art Writing through funded workshops, lectures and discussions; and maintain an Artist Library of exhibition catalogues and portfolios available for research and consultation.
Founded in 2014, Phileas - The Austrian Office for Contemporary Art is funded by the contributions of its private members and the Federal Ministry of Housing, Arts, Culture, Media and Sport. Additional support is provided by the City of Vienna.
