"Art, when shared around a table, has the power to turn a gathering into a dialogue, and a dialogue into a bond."
01. The Idea
"Encounters like these remind us: collecting is not only about acquisition, but about cultivating relationships that endure."
On behalf of Wiener Privatbank, VELVENOIR curated and hosted an exclusive dining experience during viennacontemporary, Vienna’s leading art fair. Conceived as more than a dinner, it became a space where art, cuisine, and conversation were interwoven to shape a shared encounter — intimate, thoughtful, and quietly transformative.
For Wiener Privatbank, the evening served as a cultural gesture that strengthened client relationships while affirming their advocacy for contemporary art. For guests, it created a rare opportunity to experience art outside of transactional or institutional frameworks — as lived, felt, and shared.
Every element of the evening was designed with intent. Contemporary works by Hannah Perry and Simeon Barclay set the tone, engaging guests with questions of rhythm, identity, and perception. Culinary artistry by chef Bjœrn Necas echoed the mood of the works — each course becoming a sensory translation of the art around it.
By bringing together collectors, cultural leaders, and private clients of Wiener Privatbank, the evening primed an atmosphere of openness. Guests did not simply view art; they inhabited it — through taste, conversation, and presence.
THE CONCEPT.
