A neon sign makes the word KÜNSTLERINNEN glow brightly in large letters. Responsible for it is Billi Thanner. The renowned concept and light artist has been a household name among art lovers in Austria since 2021 at the latest, when she impressively animated Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral with the "Himmelsleiter" and thereby attracted considerable positive attention at home and abroad. Now she is designing the KÜNSTLERINNENHAUS in white neon with unmistakable signature for the large central window of the building's exterior facade.
"With my artwork I want to set a powerful sign for the female presence in the art world", emphasizes Thanner. The lettering glows in Vienna's public urban space and can be read as a statement for equality and female creativity.
