One is the Carlone Hall, a baroque delight filled with frescoes. The hall takes it name from the painter of the ceiling fresco, Carlo Innocenzo Carlone (1686\u20131775), whose work also graces, for example, Palais Clam-Gallas in Prague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Italian painter also gives his name to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/belvedere-sites\/carlone-contemporary\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"57612\">Carlone Contemporary<\/a> series of exhibitions, which places modern pieces in the baroque surroundings, allowing for an interplay between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of contemporary artwork with 18th-century frescoes makes for an intriguing concept, and one addition to the series is Uli Aigner&#8217;s exhibition, featuring a single, monumental porcelain vessel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of Chinese potters, Aigner turned one of her colour drawings into a 2.3 m tall, 700 kg vessel, one side brilliant with colour, the other white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curator and Belvedere CEO, Stella Rollig, says about the exhibition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>For Uli Aigner, creating art is about a dialogue with the world, with things, with environments, and with individuals. Production and life form a single entity in her work. Exploring light and darkness in the cycle of life connects her contemporary work with the frescoes by Carlo Innocenzo Carlone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Aigner is well known for her &#8220;One Million&#8221; project, where she seeks to create a million unique pieces of art in porcelain, each numbered individually (I&#8217;ve seen the artwork for sale in, for example, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/mak\/\">MAK<\/a> museum shop).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dates, tickets &amp; tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition runs from Friday, April 12th to Sunday, November 3rd, 2019. The exhibition is freely accessible with a normal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sightseeing\/vienna-museums\/belvedere\/\">entrance ticket<\/a> to the palace (or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/vienna-pass-review\/\">Vienna Pass<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get to the exhibition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>See tips for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/belvedere-sites\/gettingthere3\/\">reaching Upper Belvedere<\/a>.
