Vivienne Dick – 93% STARDUST

The exhibition is divided into three spaces. At first, people can contemplate pictures from late 1970s New York that are presented in a pop inspired lounge environment. The second is a darkned cinema space where the public can watch three of Dick’s recent films, including a new work – Augenblick (2017). And at the third room, it is a place to relax while you can watch a prop from Dick’s latest film, a short film starring Dick’s cat and other materials.
The exposition happens until 15th of October 2017 and is located at the Main Galleries, West Wing of the Museum and the admission is free.
