Präsentation & Artist Talk:
Canadian artist Julie Beugin is developing a new body of work on Vienna’s Gemeindebauten during her residency at Bildraum Studio. Her research begins with extensive walks and photographic observations of gardens, courtyards, and passageways, focusing on communal spaces and questions of urban belonging. From fragments of everyday architecture, Beugin creates paintings and photographic collages in which familiar structures are abstracted, recombined, and transformed into shifting spatial constellations. For the exhibition, she engages with the architecture of Bildraum Studio, inviting viewers to encounter familiar details anew and proposing belonging not as a fixed state, but as an active and contingent process.
