Ganymede
bridge

MAY TO OCTOBER 2023

This time we dare to bridge the gap between culture and nature with Ganymede Bridge, connecting the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna with the Natural History Museum Vienna. Together with our fantastic Ganymede Ensemble, we awaken the twin buildings with new life, new forms, and new stories that arise at the intersection between art and nature.

WE BECOME– WITH EACH OTHER OR NOT AT ALL.

Donna Haraway

What is special about the idea of Ganymede is that we specifically engage performatively with the masterpieces and objects of the respective museum. Art responds to art. Directly, in front of the respective work. Ganymede is no longer just a project, it has actually become a new museum and form of theatre for us, which we can constantly expand in all directions, completely tailored to the respective location, the respective country, the respective language, the respective museum.

Ganymede is a project by Jacqueline Kornmüller and Peter Wolf. The two collaborate with international authors, composers, and different performers from music, theatre, and dance, developing a performance together. The project has been awarded many prizes including the Nestroy Prize, the Bank Austria Art Prize, and the Hungarian Critics’ Prize.

Ganymede is now coming out for the eighth time at the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, and the very first time at the Natural History Museum Vienna. Humans must learn ‘to be less lethal and to relate along inventive lines of connection’, writes the brilliant science theorist and biologist Donna Haraway. One such line of connections is bridging culture and nature to see what they do with and to each other.
