Pipilotti Rist, winner of the Sikkens Prize 2024, used part of her prize money for Museum in Progress‘s Safety Curtain project. Every year, this Austrian art organisation asks a renowned artist to transform the curtain of the Vienna State Opera into a work of art. This year, they asked Rist to take part. The opening of Rist’s large-format painting (176m²) on Tuesday 24 September was a great success with 800 guests. Rist’s Safety Curtain will be on display until the end of June 2025.
