This summer, the Vienna Ringturm presents itself as an oversized library. For the traditional wrapping of the distinctive Ringstrasse office building of Wiener Städtische, the Krakow artist Marcin Maciejowski was commissioned this time, who created the 4,000 square meter work "Connecting Stories" for it.
Thus, the tower appears as a library over the summer months. The project was officially presented on Monday.
Vienna Ringturm: Wrapping takes place for the 17th time
The wrapping, which is taking place for the 17th time, consists of a total of 30 printed mesh panels with a width of about three meters and a length of up to 63 meters. 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.
Born in 1974, Marcin Maciejowski once 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.
