Art meets research: The new WU Outdoor Gallery brings economic topics to life in an artistic way and creates a space for creative research communication.

The WU Outdoor Gallery

On October 16, 2025, we will officially open our new Outdoor Gallery at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business. The WU Outdoor Gallery is a public meeting place where art, research, and business converge. The gallery will encourage visitors to engage with topics of great importance for society at large, bringing artistic perspectives to Campus WU.

With seating areas and solar-powered display cases, the Outdoor Gallery will offer a platform for a roster of temporary exhibitions and provide a space for discussion and the exploration of new perspectives on economic, social, and cultural issues.

Gender pay gap exhibition by Naomi Devil

The gallery will open with works by Hungarian artist Naomi Devil, focusing on the gender pay gap. Naomi Devil’s paintings address gender-specific inequalities in pay and opportunities, with a specific focus on the market value of female artists. Her paintings include references to historical female painters.

Opening: October 16

Come visit the exhibition and see inequality in a new light!

“My works reflect the evolution of artistic expression, but they also encourage critical reflection on the convergence points between tradition and modernity. I believe that the purpose of art is twofold: It should hold up a mirror to society, but it should also serve as a catalyst for discussion, encouraging audiences to re-evaluate their understanding of history and its influence on contemporary culture.”
