A_Dinner is a joyful and festive artistic experience open to all audiences, taking place in various locations and featuring diverse artists and creative culinary approaches. Each dinner is crafted around a theme inspired by the unique setting and the participating artists.

A_Dinner is an exploration of community and connection. It brings people together, often strangers, to share a meal, to engage in conversation, and to participate in a collective experience that transcends individual boundaries. It challenges the isolation of modern life, offering a space where genuine human connection can flourish, where the act of eating together becomes a symbol of unity, of shared humanity.

The upcoming dinner and exhibition experience will take place at the eccentric Villa Lala in Hietzing. The dinner will be hosted by @wienzutisch, aka Gloria, who will craft a 5-course meal that unfolds across different rooms and floors. We have only 20 spots available for the dinner. Ticket sales will begin soon, but you can reserve your spot now, and we’ll send you the details.

For the exhibition, you can simply stop by—no reservation is needed.

Bliss & Blisters is the theme of this experience.

Step inside a space where pleasure and pain converge, where delight finds its counterpart in discomfort. Bliss & Blistersexplores the boundaries of joy and suffering, unraveling the curious dance between ecstasy and irritation. In these rooms, you’ll encounter works that shimmer like mirages—offering serenity while leaving you barefoot on gravel. The artists, like alchemists of emotion, blend the sacred and the mundane, infusing moments of bliss with the sting of life’s small abrasions.

The art draws inspiration from the quiet persistence of the blister: a small, swollen reminder that one has gone further than the body might have liked. Yet it also celebrates the pursuit of bliss, those fleeting moments where everything feels just right—just before the sting. Expect tactile dissonance, moments of uneasy euphoria, and a sense of being both cocooned and rubbed raw.

At the heart of this exhibition lies The Eccentric Dinner, an event offering sustenance and spectacle alike. The dinner itself is a performance—a culinary delirium where each dish holds a secret.

Attendees are encouraged, if they wish, to dress in two tones: one reflecting bliss, the other discomfort. Unpredictable seating arrangements include velvet armchairs and wooden stools, reminding us that pleasure and displeasure are often separated by only a cushion.

Here, Bliss & Blisters reminds us that to seek joy is to risk its opposite—that sometimes, one must walk barefoot across a bed of stones to reach the grass beyond. Come in, take off your shoes, and step gingerly into the sublime discomfort of feeling everything at once.

The exhibition is open for everyone to join, only the dinner is limited to 20 guests.
