#2 Ihre Sendung ist da!
From April 25 to May 24, Julian Palacz transforms Kunstverein Baden into a parcel collection point of the fictional delivery service DJP as part of his performative intervention Ihre Sendung ist da! (Your Delivery Has Arrived). Collection slips are widely distributed in advance, ensuring that everyone who has one receives a package. The act of collection becomes the performance: ID check, scan, signature, handover—familiar, seamless, real. The contents of the packages remain unknown until the moment of delivery.

Performance and Artist Talk
In conversation with Katja Stecher, the artist discusses the background of the project, which transforms the exhibition space into a site of real logistics, examining the structural parallels between the art world and the world of goods.
Julian Palacz
born in 1983 in Leoben, lives and works in Vienna and Mürzzuschlag. His work is dedicated to the visualization and poetic processing of data that we leave behind digitally, as well as physically, and that is automatically collected by various actors. Studies in Digital Art 2003–2010 at the University of Applied Arts Vienna under Tom Fürstner, Peter Weibel and Virgil Widrich. In 2020–2021, Palacz lectured at the University of Artistic and Industrial Design Linz on surveillance and privacy in the visual arts. Since 2022, he has been teaching at the University of Applied Arts Vienna on art on the blockchain and the artistic exploration of raw data.
The solo exhibition Handle with Care at Forum Stadtpark (2021) and Les murs ont des oreilles at Sotheby's Vienna (2019) mark caesuras in his practice. His work has been shown at Casino Luxembourg, Museum of Applied Arts/Vienna, the Museum of Contemporary Art/Belgrade, the ZKM | Center for Art and Media/Karlsruhe, and at Palazzo Zenobio/Venice. In addition, Palacz received the Wimmelforschungs-Stipendium at Bosch Campus Renningen and Akademie Schloss Solitude, the Austrian State Scholarship for Video and Media Art and the Swatch Art Peace Hotel Residency Shanghai.
