Ailbhe Ní Bhriain in Innsbruck International 2024

INNSBRUCK INTERNATIONAL is a contemporary art biennial that invites international artists to use Innsbruck’s extraordinary historic and contemporary venues as a platform for the presentation of their visual, film, sound, performance, and installation works.

In 2022, INNSBRUCK INTERNATIONAL celebrated its 10th anniversary. This year’s edition, themed HEAVEN CAN WAIT, offers a guide to the times ahead, addressing issues such as how to deal with natural disasters, migration, the extinction of animal species, and their impact on the individual. Do we hunker down to survive or surrender to the disaster? For HEAVEN CAN WAIT, we have invited artists whose work offers strategies for how individual strength can contribute to collective survival.

Three works by Ailbhe Ní Bhriain will be exhibited at RFDINSEL Artspace from 3–26 May, showing alongside Michael Heindl, Katharina Cibulka, Friederike Gösweiner, Philipp Moll, Marie Stockhausen, Peter Warum, Guillermo Tellechea 

Director >> Tereza Kotyk
Producer, Curator >> Franziska Heubacher
