Stock Sale at Zweigstelle Atelier
The building in which Zweigstelle has been welcoming flower and design lovers for years is being remodelled. No, not the studio and showroom! But above, below and all around there will soon be hammering, drilling and constructing like there's no tomorrow. That's why Andreas Bamesberger and his team are opening the biggest sale in Zweigstelle’s history with immediate effect: pots, vases, decorations – beautiful, surplus and for sale at prices that would make even the scaffolding shake! Small spoiler: You are pretty sure to leave with more than you had planned ;-)

Nicola L.
Wall lamps in the shape of eyes, a coffee table with the outline of a woman's body and a sofa that looks like a head in profile – Nicola L.'s objects are pretty freaky! The current retrospective at the Kunsthalle includes sculptures, paintings, collages and films by the celebrated French artist, who often explored themes such as cosmology, the environment or activism. Her “Penetrables” series is also part of the exhibition. The textile sculptures were intended as participatory works with openings into which people could insert limbs. Today is the vernissage!

Ulrich & Erich Rutschpartie
“Caution, danger of sliding” is the motto for two days at St. Ulrichsplatz, for Ulrich & Erich invite you to a big slide party. How you should take that? Literally, of course, because the operators of the two trendy bars transform the path from Burggasse to St. Ulrichsplatz into a giant water slide measuring a whopping 75m. You can slide for free on Fridays and Saturdays! Party animals can also look forward to a big style competition, a flamingo bar, coffee from Meinl, ice cream from Veganista, tombola and DJ line-up. And when you’re done sliding, the after-party begins – let's dance!

H. Cartier-Bresson & Christine de Grancy
One evening, two vernissages: the stars are, on the one hand, the French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, who is considered a pioneer of street photography. His great talent was to release the shutter at the truly perfect moment and capture very special moments. His life's work is now illuminated with 240 exhibits. The black and white photographs from Christine de Grancy's series “Above the World and Time” are also on display. For years, she snapped pictures from the rooftops of Vienna and was virtually a guest in the world of the stone gods. Double wow!

Scythe Course in the Botanical Garden
Now this is a Saturday activity of a different kind: in the Botanical Garden, you can learn how to wield a scythe today ;-) But only with good intentions, of course! The meadows there are full of life, be it plants, insects or animals. Mowing with modern lawnmowers would be life-threatening for them, so they are still mowed the old-fashioned way with a scythe. And today, you can learn how to do this with scythewoman Ada Höchtl! What is a “good cut”? How do you hone and sharpen the scythe? And what are the benefits for your back? All will be answered!
Botanischer Garten, Mechelgasse, 1030 Vienna. 28 June 7:00 to 11:00. 120 €. Please register. Web |

The Villas of Pötzleinsdorf
Around 1850, the Vienna Woods attracted numerous Viennese to Pötzleinsdorf. Initially just for summer holidays, these illustrious guests soon sought permanent relaxation on the outskirts of the city. But the year 1938 proved fateful for many villa owners... With her unique flair for unique life stories, Marie-Theres Arnbom gives many residents back their stories. Today, you can accompany the author on a historical journey of discovery that leads to famous houses, but also delves deep into her own family history, which is closely connected to Pötzleinsdorf. Fascinating!
Meeting point will be announced upon registration. June 26, 11:00. Please register. Web |

Reading is in! This is proven by formats such as BookTok on TikTok or trends like “bedazzling” books (covering them with rhinestones). The two sisters Nina and Maiken Greimel think: Reading is a hobby that people should talk about. That's why they have created the “ReadUp” event series, where bookies can spend time browsing through their own books and also chatting with other book enthusiasts for around three hours at different venues. This is a great way to get to know other literature lovers and books. Today at Lucullus!

Accompanied by an art educator, you can create your own works on the rotating wheel, which also produced Hirst's “Spin Drawings”, and take them home with you.

Vienna Opera Summer
Especially during the holiday season, when thousands of tourists flock to the capital, the city's stages are quiet, as almost all theaters and opera houses are on summer break. But this cultural vacuum is now set to be filled – and the keyword for that is: open-air opera! Starting today, Vienna's historic Heumarkt square will be transformed into an open-air opera arena with an impressive stage design, spectacular lighting and video effects, and opulent costumes. Twelve performances of Giuseppe Verdi's opera “La Traviata” will be performed. A must-see (& -hear)!
Operarena am Heumarkt, Lothringerstraße 22, 1030 Vienna. From July 1, 20:00. From 49 €. Web |

July at the MAK is all about water and design – and what better way to experience it than with a cool pool party! That's why the MAK Garden will be transformed into a sunbathing lawn for one evening, and the pool is right outside: 17 km long, 50 m wide, with a natural countercurrent, resource-saving and environmentally friendly. As a fun group, you'll swim through Vienna, right in the middle of the Danube Canal! Afterwards, it's time for a talk and party on the MAK artificial turf. Even furniture inspired by the horn coral was designed especially for the event. Seriously cool!

What adds to the thrill of TV crime dramas? That's right, the background music! There may not be a screen today, but jazz couple Michaela Rabitsch and Robert Pawlik will provide live musical excitement, while crime writer Gudrun Lerchbaum reads from her brand-new novel, “Nobody Saw It Coming”: One year after her disappearance, a woman returns to her hometown – and can't remember anything. What did she do? Is she a victim, a perpetrator, or both? The listeners will be at the idyllic foot of the Strudelhofstiege in Alsergrund – a great idea!

Salzi
Well, someone has really good taste here. The interior in crimson, bright blue and lots of light-coloured plywood panels looks damn good. And the kitchen also brings taste. The green hummus bowl with roasted veggies, nuts and pomegranate seeds tastes amazing. The newly opened Salzi mainly serves vegetarian and vegan dishes, the breakfast menu is long and the coffee is of course very special. You can also buy it, as well as the plants that are all over the place. The bistro aims to be a meeting place for the neighbourhood – for breakfast, working or even listening to DJs. Prognosis: sooner or later, the whole of Vienna will be part of the hood.
Salzi, Hollandstraße 10, 1020 Vienna. Tue-Thu 7:30 to 18:00, Fri 7:30 to 23:00, Sat 9:00 to 23:00.
