The major audio work The Forty Part Motet will be exhibited at the renown Semperdepot in collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

In addition, a collector's catalogue - including a CD "walk through the book" - focusing on Cardiff's legendary Walks will be released specially for the occasion. The catalogue, edited by Mirjam Schaub was commissioned and published by T-B A21 and is distributed by the Walther König Verlag, Cologne.

T-B A21 SPACE IN PROGRESS With the SPACE IN PROGRESS, T-B A21 is creating a platform for contemporary art in Vienna, fulfilling the foundation's purpose of sharing its collection with the public and offering its resources to artists for production, display and critical commentary of their works of art. Far from the commercialized gallery setting or the institutional context of the museum and kunsthalle, SPACE IN PROGRESS redefines ways of exhibiting art in the art world's climate of changing parameters. T-B A21's permanent location in Vienna's city center is a 150 m2 space and acts as the nucleus of the foundation's activities, radiating out to locations, cities, and institutions within its programmatic reach.
