Since 1991, EIKON has been a key platform for contemporary photography and media art.
As an internationally networked magazine, online platform and exhibition space in Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier, we combine artistic practice and theoretical discourse with curated education and presentation. Our mission is to promote, document and reflect on contemporary visual productions and forms of media expression. In doing so, we create space for critical engagement, new perspectives and the long-term visibility of artistic positions.

Based in Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier, we are firmly rooted in one of Europe’s most important cultural hubs. Through an extensive network of artists, writers, curators and institutions, we promote international exchange and collaboration across geographical and disciplinary boundaries.
Our showroom in the MuseumsQuartier offers artists the opportunity to showcase their portfolios in a curated context. In addition, EIKON is published quarterly as a bilingual magazine (German/English) and reaches an international specialist audience.

EIKON steht für eine offene, kritische und diskursive Auseinandersetzung mit Fotografie und Medienkunst. Wir begreifen Bilder als gesellschaftliche Akteure und fördern deren Reflexion im Spannungsfeld von Kunst, Technologie und Öffentlichkeit. Wir stärken die Sichtbarkeit zeitgenössischer künstlerischer Positionen, fördern nachhaltige Netzwerke und tragen zur internationalen Diskursbildung im Bereich Fotografie und Medienkunst bei.
