March – April 2026
During his residency at MQ, Viktor Čech is primarily engaged in research for his project, which places the modernist and avant-garde heritage of interdisciplinary overlaps (primarily choreography, visual arts, and performance) in dialogue with contemporary artistic practice. This dialogue with contemporary Viennese artists and archival research into the local dance and visual avant-garde of the first half of the 20th century will become part of a broader project, which will ultimately take the form of a book and an exhibition. The project combines art-historical research with creative writing and curatorial dialogue. Another activity during Viktor Čech’s residency is the ongoing publication of essays and reviews reflecting on the Viennese art scene on his website http://www.arthasnohistory.com.
