"Heya Girls!"
From Friday until the end of July, the Brunnenviertel will be hosting a particularly fun and cute event. Because on 13 June, the Day of the Duck is celebrated– and to mark the occasion, lots of little ceramic ducks have been hidden around Brunnenmarkt and Yppenplatz. The little animals were made in a limited and numbered edition by Renate Gerlach. You can find out exactly how the scavenger hunt works at the kick-off event at 18:00 on Yppenplatz. Beforehand, there will also be a culinary walk where you can sample cheese from all over the world, eat crêpes from Syria and sniff fragrant soaps from Aleppo. The walk is free of charge – if you want, you can donate something to the VinziBett at the end. And if you find a little duck during the treasure hunt afterwards, you can keep it. Or give it away. Or hide it in your girlfriend's handbag ;-)
Wishing you a calm week,
Your CitySpotterGirl
Culinary Walk: 13 June 16:00, start Neulerchenfelder Straße 52. Scavenger hunt kick-off: 13 June 18:00, Grätzlbox Yppenplatz, 1160 Vienna. Web

Happy Birthday Egon Schiele
Summer birthdays are the best birthdays ;-) That’s what Schiele thinks, too, and on his 135th birthday he will be giving everyone else a present as well! And so today you can take a free guided tour of the Leopold Museum's permanent exhibition “Vienna 1900 – Birth of Modernism” and get to know the works of the Austrian expressionist better. By the way, it also shows our beautiful Danube metropolis as it used to be: the capital of the aristocracy, the magnificent Ringstrasse and endless slums, rigid conservatism and the dawn of modernity. Worth seeing!

ulliKo 2ndHAND
Now that's nice! Fashion boutique ulliKo turns 20 this year, and they don’t just celebrate but give us a present too! Today, for example, they hold a second-hand sale, where customers can pass on their discarded ulliKo styles at bargain prices (5 to 85€). Longterm ulliKo fans will get their money's worth here, as some of the items are already 15-20 years old, but still in tiptop condition. There are also drinks and snacks, as well as photo corners. If you can't make it today, don't worry – you can still snatch remaining second-hand pieces on Friday and Saturday!

Science-Fiction in the Park
Dark scenarios in nightly Margareten! On six evenings, science-fiction films will once again be flickering across the screen in Bruno-Kreisky-Park, open-air style. This year's theme is “Fatal Error (?) - AI in fantastic film!”. Because what used to be fiction is now more real than ever. Today, that's best proven in the film “Westworld”, in which visitors to a futuristic theme park can slip into the role they have always wanted to embody. But then a computer virus changes the robots' programming and they start murdering the visitors. Spacy!

Lemoni, aperitivi, baci ... well, that's about it for the Italian holiday vocabulary, but everything sounds wonderful and fits so wonderfully well for tonight! Sarah Hartleib from sarahceramics is hosting a potteritivo – meaning pottery with an aperitif: In the cosy garden of Fratelli Valentino, she will show you step by step how to create your own little aperitivo set made from clay. During the work, you can savour typical Italian snacks and sip on cool drinks. After three weeks, the bowls can be collected once they are glazed and fired. DIY à la dolce vita!

Miet Warlop: Inhale Delirium Exhale
Six performers and 4,000 metres (!) of fabric in which human fears, aspirations and secrets are given space. This is the basis for the latest work by star choreographer and artist Miet Warlop. “Inhale Delirium Exhale” refers to the state of mind of inner turmoil, when thoughts are piling up in your head and emotions are overwhelming you. The fabrics flow, shift, bulge and overlap. With some allusions to Greek mythology and not without a touch of humour, this tour de force will be taking the audience on a journey into an impressive universe. Fascinating!

Ugh, the start of the week can be really tough sometimes, so a little pick-me-up is just what you need! Today, the Mimosen theatre group, which has been performing in the areas of cabaret, theatre, music shows and readings since 1984, is here to cheer you up. The funny troupe will take you on a journey through the world of humour, reading texts by some of the greatest jokers of our time, such as Woody Allen, Max Böhm, Loriot, Alfred Polgar and Roda Roda. The result is a wonderful mix of comedy, satire, poetry and musical anecdotes!

Sturgeon Breeding Station Tour
Sturgeons are the world's most endangered animal family, which is why the remaining inhabitants of the Danube basin must be saved at all costs. To this end, the former stone transport ship MS Negrelli has been converted into a floating breeding centre and now houses several tanks with mother fish and juvenile fish. By 2030, around 1.6 million juvenile fish are to be reared here and then released into the wild in various sections of the Danube. Anyone interested in finding out how the whole thing works can take part in guided tours on the 66 metre-long ship from today!

It's still a little while until the next Fashion Week, but you don't have to miss out on some interesting catwalk flair. Today, the models of the Hetzendorf Fashion School’s end-of-year show are parading through the centre of the Schlosspark. Not only the collections of the graduating class are on show, but the students of the various disciplines will also present their fabric-turned tailoring dreams. Sewn and knitted items as well as model-millinery will be presented. All of this with the motto “Antique Garden”. And because there are so many visitors, there will be two shows.

Radical! Women Artists and Modernism
Painting meets textile design, sculpture meets printmaking, drawing meets photography – at the Lower Belvedere, 60 female artists from over 20 countries enter into a dialogue that shines a light on the era of Modernism from 1910 to 1950. The exhibition encourages visitors to think differently about Modernism: multivoiced, international, contradictory. Regardless of origin and visual language, the women are united by their search for new forms of expression and their desire to push the boundaries of art and society. Tamara de Lempicka can be seen here as well as Sonia Delaunay.
Unteres Belvedere, Rennweg 6, 1030 Vienna. Until 12 October. Mon-Sun 10:00 to 18:00. 16.50 €. Web |

The Pelicot Trial
The Pelicot trial is one of the most discussed and also most symbolic trials of our time. It shows that in a Western European city, men of all social classes and ages are capable of perhaps the most extreme offence: the repeated rape of an unconscious woman. By deciding to make her trial public, Gisèle Pelicot has become a symbolic figure. Today's reading (duration ca. 6 to 8 hours) of statements from the trial, interviews and newspaper commentaries, pleadings and online chats is intended to pay tribute to Gisèle Pelicot. Very moving.

But they are a greater rarity in the 9th district and that's exactly why Outfit Secondo has chosen its location very cleverly ;-) You will find the spacious second-hand shop with a really large selection on Nußdorferstraße. You can browse through some designer pieces but mainly mainstream brands at super bargain prices for every taste and in many sizes. Accessories from shoes and bags to jewellery complete the range and if you'd rather clear out than shop, you can also sell on consignment here!

Frigo
If you recognise the unusual mosaic floor from the photo: Yes, this used to be the Alma Gastrotheque. It closed for personal reasons, but the new restaurant, Frigo, is at least as nice. Two friends from the upmarket restaurant scene who've known each other for a long time have fulfilled their dream here. The menu is small but unusual – and the dishes are unusually good. The late afternoon starts with snacks and tapas (funny: the stuffed croquettes and zucchini fritters), while in the evening more elaborate meals like chicken thigh or Arctic char with fennel and orange are served. And: many dishes are veggie, like the miso melanzani. Super!
