Why Pink Panther as a theme for an international group exhibition?
It is in honour of Peter Sellers, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday in September.
The late Richard Henry Sellers was a British comedian and film actor. The specialist for appearances in a wide variety of roles and disguises became known at the latest as Inspector Clouseau in the film series "The Pink Panther". The pink comic character Paulchen Panter, which was created especially for this film series, became just as well known. In the film, Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau has to catch a jewel thief and the stolen goods are a diamond, a pink diamond. The diamond is called the "Pink Panther" because the flaw in its middle is said to resemble a jumping pink panther when looked at closely.
It's not all pink, let's create new works of art, it gives us a chance to show what we think, feel or have to say. Art is our mouthpiece with which we can communicate and inspire, but also criticize and point out.
The name Vienna Calling is a song title by our Viennese singer Falco, we had this title in 2018.
This was followed by “Vienna Calling II” with the exhibition theme of a Beatles song “All you need is Love” 2020. For Vienna Calling III - 2022 we chose "TAKE A CHANCE ON ME", a song title by the great pop group ABBA, when they were in their 50th anniversary year.
