Gemeinsteine
16.04.2026
Gemeinsteine is a participatory mosaic floor project led by artist Anna Khodorkovskaya in the framework of WEIN/4 Festival 2026 and in collaboration with residents of Hollabrunn and the surrounding area. Developed with AIR InSILo, an international artist-in-residence programme in the Weinviertel, the project centres on social engagement, inviting participants to help create a permanent public artwork through ten free workshops running from 16 May to 5 July. The mosaic will be unveiled to the public on 18 July. Participation in the mosaic workshop is open to anyone aged 14 and above, and no prior experience is required.
Austria has a long and rich history of bringing art into public life, with mosaics playing a key role in the post-war decades. During this time, artists contributed to the cultural renewal of urban spaces by creating works for schools, housing estates, and public buildings, often supported by initiatives such as Kunst am Bau, which ensured that art became part of everyday life.
The artists who shaped this tradition believed that art should not be separate from life. Their public sculptures and mosaics were meant to be lived with, not merely observed – an idea that closely aligns with the philosophy of AIR InSILo, which emphasises the inseparability of artistic production and everyday life.
Gemeinsteine builds on this legacy and brings it into the present, creating a new form of public art that is not only rooted in the community but also shaped by it.

AIR InSILo is pleased to invite you to the opening of Gemeinsteine, a participatory mosaic public artwork led by artist Anna Khodorkovskaya. The piece is being presented as part of the WEIN/4 Festival 2026 and developed in close collaboration with residents of Hollabrunn and the surrounding area. At the heart of the project is a commitment to social engagement: over ten free workshops, 40 participants came together to contribute to a lasting floor mosaic installation. Gemeinsteine honours the often-invisible currents of horizontal cultural collaboration and solidarity that fertilise the art world – a realm too frequently and erroneously defined by its more visible, vertical power structures.

Girl Out of Time∞ is a songwriter, actor, fine arts photographer and filmmaker, Chilo Eribenne, whose work bridges London’s club underground with contemporary art and diasporic cultural projects. After a ten-year hiatus from the decks, she returns in 2026 as Girl Out of Time∞, moving between Vienna and Andalucía and drawing on her parallel practice in photography, film and Afro-diasporic cultural work. Her sets move fluidly through electro funk, glitch hop, soul and West African vibes, treating the dancefloor as a time-travelling archive where Black and Afro-futuristic sonic histories are re-sequenced for the present.
