**Duration:** 6 June 2009 - 20 September 2009

Augarten Contemporary will present works by the four prize winners in the Ars Viva Prize for the Visual Arts 2008/09, a sponsorship award donated by the Cultural Circle of German Business and Industries.

The theme of this year’s call for entries was “mise en scène”. The prize winners Keren Cytter (\*1977), Manuel Graf (\*1978), Simon Dybbroe Møller (\*1976), and Tris Vonna-Michell (\*1982) have been selected among 50 artists whose works focus on the reflection of theatrical themes and different forms of expression and stagings.
