Poster intervention by Anne Glassner and Vasilena Gankovska in the context of Kunstland Nord Notgalerie, Vienna Seestadt, September 2019.

In summer 2019 Anne Glassner and Vasilena Gankovska were invited to create an artistic intervention as part of the project "Kunstland Nord Notgalerie" by artist Reinhold Zisser. Both artists deal with urban space in different ways, both as an architectural and social construct and through direct, physical perception.

Anne Glassner responds to places with her reclining sleeping body. Her interventions in public space deal with identity, the boundaries between the private and the public, the absence and presence of the human body, or questions of reality and fiction.

Vasilena Gankovska has been conducting a visual research in the Urban Lakeside since spring 2019. In the process, she photographs buildings, interstitial spaces, green areas, and then artistically processes the essential details and elements of these architectural structures. In parallel, she is interested in how the environment experiences daily transformations and how the interplay between art and public space occurs on the city's periphery.

"Kunstland Nord" took place as a project in the surroundings of the Notgalerie in Seestadt Aspern. The artistic contributions included not only works directly in the Notgalerie, but also dealt with the surroundings around the gallery, between the Aspern Nord subway station and Seestadt. Glassner and Gankovska played on one of the numerous wooden walls that serve as markers and weather protection between the various construction sites and are currently shaping the character of this part of town.
