THAT WAS OFF GRID 2021

Between 8 and 12 September 2021, the second edition of the Viennese off-photo scene festival OFF GRID will present a diverse programme: in addition to the main exhibition in the GREEN DOOR artists space & gallery in the Kreta Grätzl in the 10th district, visitors will be able to attend 6 further exhibitions in decentralised Viennese cultural venues, as well as concerts, performances, readings and workshops – all with free admission.

This year OFF GRID launched an open call for the selection of participating artists in the three categories “Main Exhibition”, “Bookshop” and “Projection”. A total of 43 artists were selected from over 150 submissions, who will be guests at the festival headquarters GREEN DOOR artists space & gallery with their diverse works. For the first time, works from Argentina, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, Slovakia and the USA will also be shown.
