Museum of Perception MUWA

The Museum of Perception MUWA, founded by Werner Wolf in 1990, shows works of contemporary constructive, reductive art by established but also young artists, architecture and science in changing exhibitions parallel to the permanent exhibition of mainly visual perception installations.

The MUWA offers an extensive education programme and cooperates with artistic, pedagogical and university institutions on a regional, national and international level as well as their representatives within the framework of workshops, further education, lectures, readings, discourse events or concerts of contemporary music. All tasks related to the MUWA are documented and continuously published.
Visitors can use the reference library of art books and catalogues with a focus on reductive art. In the basement, the Samadhi bath, a deprivation tank for deep relaxation is available to those who are interested.

BARBARA HÖLLER is one of the most important representatives of concrete and constructive art in Austria. In her exhibition ‘Presence of Lines‘ at MUWA, she is showing works from the past six years. Lines are present in her works as grid or net structures, as overlapping, fading and broken. The artist usually works in series, for each of which she develops a new system that is strongly determined by the materials used, the format and the colour application employed.

  • Artists:
  • Barbara Höller
  • Barbara Höller (*1959 in Vienna) is an Austrian artist, curator, and educator. She studied mathematics and applied arts in Vienna and has lived and worked between Vienna and Wallern in Burgenland. Her artistic career has been recognized with awards such as the 1st Prize at Trend Art Spektrum (1994) and the Bauholding Art Competition (1999). Scholarships took her to Budapest, Rome, and Japan, often in collaboration with Konrad Rautter. Höller co-founded the artist groups “Vakuum” and “4paper,” as well as the “Celle Collaboration” at Künstlerhaus Vienna. As a curator, she has shaped exhibitions like “Bruch Spur Zeichen” (2018) and, most recently, “Imagine Climate Dignity” (2025). She taught digital image design and painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and the Vienna Art School. Her participation in international symposia—from Hungary to Norway—and her commitment to interdisciplinary projects make her work a vibrant intersection of art, education, and society.
