Vienna Ring Tower Becomes an Oversized Library

The Vienna Ringturm appears over the summer months "in the guise" of an oversized library. The exhibition "Modernity in Krakow" can be seen on the ground floor with free admission.

Vienna Ringturm Covered for the 17th Time

The Ringturm is artistically covered for the 17th time. The covering is 4,000 square meters in size and consists of a total of 30 printed mesh panels with a width of around three meters and a length of up to 63 meters, according to a press release. While the side facing the Danube Canal shows the domestic bookshelf, the back reads: "This book will not only become my story, but also yours" in German and Polish.

Interface of Inner Intellectual World and Public Life

"Books not only contain the wealth of experience of the authors. They promote understanding among people, build bridges, and connect cultures. Books are the window to the world, and the 'Connecting Stories' on the Ringturm become an interface of inner intellectual world and public life," says Maciejowski about his work.

The artist, born in 1974, founded the artist group Ładnie with Rafał Bujnowski and Wilhelm Sasnal. To this day, Maciejowski works across media - with painting, drawing, posters, comics, and public art. His works combine everyday observation, pop culture, and art history, especially the painting of old masters.
