It was a bit complicated to install the public transport card. Actually, I should have booked directly via Wiener Verkehrsbetriebe, on whose system I was finally able to upload the 72 ticket. I liked being able to take the Standard out of my pocket at the lamppost in exchange for a payment to the cashier of my choice. I liked the attitude expressed in the interview by the mayor of Vienna about the imminent takeover by the Kickl FPÖ. Vienna, in fact the whole of Austria, must retain its cosmopolitan social climate and freedom of discourse. A radical right-wing government that betrays the idea of European cooperation and integration endangers the well-being of Vienna and Austria and is not worthy of this country. May Vienna maintain its magic.

We loved the eclectic exhibitions. We didn't like that there was no noticeable information on the layout; the "lower" and "upper" refer not to the levels of the same building but to two different edifices separated by a large garden.

Man, woman, their relationship to each other, their different gender, runs through the entire exhibition and the life's work of RENATE BERTLMANN, performance artist with a political message, sympathetic, courageous woman. It is a pity, if not downright "unforgivable", that her MESSERROSENFELD of 2019 was neither exhibited in the Austria - Pavilion of the BIENNALE ARTE DI VENEZIA nor even found any mention, neither textual nor pictorial. Nothing ! This is inexplicable. Also the ticket - and guide - staff was totally uninformed in this matter ? How, Where, What, Why ?
