Sarah Haugeneder is the Manager of exhibitions and public programming for Espace Louis Vuitton München. Established in 2014 and located in the historic heart of the city, the gallery acts as an independent art space. Before she began encouraging new encounters between the local community and both native and international artists – such as David Claerbout, Ian Cheng, and Cory Arcangel, or the multimedia exhibition curated by Michiko Kono – Haugeneder worked as collection assistant at the renowned private museum of Ingvild Goetz.
Thanks to the private initiative of Stephanie Utz and her husband, Christian Utz, Munich’s cultural offering now includes MUCA – Germany’s first Museum of Urban Art – whose building used to be an old transformer station. Like the name suggests, the focus lies not only on displaying the couple’s own collection of urban and street art masterpieces but also in curating blockbuster shows – from Calligraffiti to street artist Viehls. Located in the heart of Munich, the museum also showcases a unique dining concept; a restaurant offering South American and Asian flavours in an industrial setting, full of internationallyrenowned street art.
