Belvedere Palace in Vienna has opened CARLONE CONTEMPORARY: Asta Gröting. Things, a video installation presented at Schloss Belvedere from 24 September 2026 to 29 March 2027. The exhibition is in the Carlone Hall of the Upper Belvedere, where a contemporary moving-image work is set within a Baroque palace.
Asta Gröting’s Things begins at Belvedere Palace on 24 September
The exhibition runs from 24 September 2026 to 29 March 2027. The date and venue are listed by the Belvedere Museum on its exhibition page, which identifies the Upper Belvedere at Prinz-Eugen-Straße 27 in Vienna.
Things was made by Asta Gröting in 2018. The six-minute, 32-second video uses sound and slow motion to show organic and inorganic objects moving towards a deep blue summer sky. The sequence builds through the appearance of successive objects and their visible deformation.
The presentation is part of CARLONE CONTEMPORARY, a series that places contemporary works in the Carlone Hall at six-month intervals. Belvedere describes the series as a connection between the hall’s Baroque pictorial programme and new artistic positions. The exhibition announcement also names the Carlone Hall as the venue.
The video enters the Carlone Hall at the Upper Belvedere
The Carlone Hall forms part of the Upper Belvedere, whose wider collection includes works by Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Vincent van Gogh and other artists. The museum describes the site as a Baroque palace with 800 years of art history.
Gröting’s installation therefore places a 2018 video in a room associated with an earlier decorative programme. That contrast is the specific link between the September 2026 exhibition and the building: the work’s moving objects introduce a contemporary study of gravity into a historic interior rather than presenting it in a separate modern gallery.
The exhibition page names Stella Rollig as curator and Johanna Hofer as assistant curator. It also states that the work explores relationships between people, animals and objects, themes that recur across Gröting’s sculptures, videos and performances.
