Tolia Curriculum

Tolia Curriculum
May 22 to June 18, 2026
 

Tolia Curriculum is a project conceived by artist Tolia Astakhishvili, unfolding as a daily schedule of workshops, lectures, screenings, readings, and participatory formats for children and adults. In the lead-up to Figure of the Child, her largest exhibition to date, Tolia Astakhishvili opens her production and installation process to the public as she develops her work in situ.

Together with Jacksun Bein, Julia Boog-Kaminski, Veronica Brovall, Jonas Kuck, Simon Lässig, Roman Lemberg & Vera Pulido, Natalia Medebach, Florian Meisenberg, Laurids Ortner, Dylan Peirce, Livia Polanyi, James Richards, Liesl Ujvary, and Kristian Vistrup Madsen, as well as students in the TransArts program at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and students of the Studio for Art and Time | Photography program at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Tolia Astakhishvili invites visitors to join daily formats, all taking place around the exhibition's ongoing installation process—thereby challenging conventional notions of beginnings, endings, and authorship in exhibition-making.

Tolia Curriculum reconfigures the museum as a site of ongoing artistic work rather than finished display, inviting visitors to engage with the exhibition while it is still taking shape—a first in mumok’s history.

Tolia Astakhishvili (born 1974 in Tbilisi, Georgia) lives and works in Berlin and Tbilisi. Recent solo exhibitions have been held at the Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation, Venice (2025); SculptureCenter, New York (2024); Haus am Waldsee, Berlin (2023); and Bonner Kunstverein, Bonn (2023). Recent group exhibitions include MoMA PS1, New York (2025); Fondation Pernod Ricard, Paris (2025); and Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Roma, Rome (2024).
