Ancient Future Climate Bodies

Ancient Future Climate Bodies

October 17 at 5pm (This weekend) +13

brut understage · Landstraße • 18 €

A headphone-guided ritual for two, strangers or friends, unfolding inside a cocoon of hand-woven textiles, water, smoke, and sound. Amanda Piña's intimate performance asks you to touch, smell, and listen your way into kinship with rivers and rain.

An der Postsparkasse nachts um halb eins

An der Postsparkasse nachts um halb eins

October 21 at 12pm +59

Universitätsgalerie der Angewandten im Heiligenkreuzerhof · Innere Stadt

A solo show of "objects of interest" that aren't quite art and aren't quite not. Maumaus raids the Angewandte's archive, beaming its depot into the baroque Heiligenkreuzer Hof via live broadcast.

October 26 at 10am

El Anatsui

El Anatsui

December 3

Secession · Innere Stadt

Thousands of liquor bottle caps become rippling, luminous sculptures in El Anatsui's hands. His monumental metal tapestries fold colonial trade histories into dazzling fields of color, reshaping themselves with every installation.

Mini MAK Tour: ArchitekTour – zum Mitspielen – ist doch mehr als LEGO!

Mini MAK Tour: ArchitekTour – zum Mitspielen – ist doch mehr als LEGO!

October 17 at 2pm (This weekend)

Museum of Applied Arts · Innere Stadt

More than LEGO: this mini MAK tour turns architecture into a hands-on game, digging into historical building kits from 1890 to 1990 that you can actually touch, stack, and play with.

Lili Dujourie

Lili Dujourie

Every day at 10pm from June 11 to Aug. 29

Secession · Innere Stadt

Five decades of Lili Dujourie's quiet provocations: velvet, marble, and metal folded into sculptures that hold softness and rigidity in tension. Her draped, veiled forms conceal as much as they reveal.

Frequently asked questions

How are these decorative exhibitions in Vienna chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is everything here still happening?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
