Nude exhibition Voayer in Vienna: Funding canceled - new appointment will follow!

Wien, Österreich - The nude exhibition "Voayer" in the Vienna Sofiensele planned for the coming weekend was surprisingly canceled. Organizer Mário Petreje confirmed the cancellation on Friday and cited personal motives as the reason how high investments and the termination of his job to fully devote himself to the project. "I don't want to make this exhibition for money," said Petreje, which opened an intensive review of the background of the event.

The exhibition, which was planned under the motto "Real naked people" with living models, should convey a message of humanity and reality. According to Petreje, there was sufficient demand, and tickets were available online for 51.50 euros. However, a new date for the exhibition in autumn will be announced in the coming week.

future plans and crowdfunding

One of the most important changes that Petreje plans for the exhibition is the decision to make future expenses accessible free of charge in order to reach a broader public. To support this project, a crowdfunding campaign is prepared for Indiegogo. The organizer is determined to win new sponsors and partners and make the exhibition more accessible in this way. He is grateful to the 97 participants who were ready to show their bodies and apologized to the ticket buyers for the inconvenience.

The refund for tickets that have already been purchased should be possible via Oeticket. Alternatively, ticket holders can keep your ticket and get an upgrade, which makes access to the future exhibition easier.

A look at nudity in art

nudity has always been a central topic in art, and there are also numerous museums in Vienna that take up this topic. The Kunsthistorisches Museum shows classic works and illuminates the importance of nudity in a historical context. In addition, the Museum of the City of Vienna, the MAK (Austrian Museum of Applied Arts) and the Arnulf Rainer Museum exhibitions that deal with the representation of the human body and re -evaluate nudity from modern perspectives.

However, the debate about nudity in the museum goes beyond art and promotes discussions about social norms and borders. Events where visitors can go naked through exhibitions invite you to reflect on physicality, identity and acceptance.

Overall, the cancellation of the “Voayer” exhibition not only affects Petreje's immediate plans, but also represents a contribution to the ongoing discussion about nudity in art and its social relevance. In the coming time, it will be shown how the plans for the exhibition will develop and how it can redefine the understanding of body and art in the Viennese context.
