SPARK Art Fair Vienna 2025 Final Thoughts
Art fairs often play out like a bad algorithm. Swipe right. Keep moving. Nothing sticks. Munchies Art Club Magazine Review (short version)
But Spark Art Fair Vienna? It had different plans. It hijacked the feed, flipped the script, and made us pause. Why? Because some art demands more than a glance.
🔥 What hit different?
👉 A fair that fights ‘scroll amnesia.’ One artist per gallery. No filler, no fluff, no art-world déjà vu.
👉 Glitch moments. Arno Beck’s typewriter pixels—proof that digital nostalgia is more than a filter.
👉 Unexpected encounters. Kottie Paloma—Vienna-based, yet somehow elusive. Studio visit? Never happened. Fair visit? Finally, face to face.
👉 Physical vs. Digital. Lena Göbel & Zweintopf—artists we thought we knew, but Spark showed us otherwise. Screens lie. Real life doesn’t.
🎭 The Art Fair as a Social Experiment
Some booths? A high-end Instagram feed—polished, digestible, forgettable. Others? A real-life deep dive
Some encounters? Pure transaction. Others? A moment worth staying for.
Some pieces? Seen, liked, scrolled past. Others? We still can’t stop thinking about.
🍽 Random but Important: The Food. Art fairs are notorious for overpriced, tragic snacks. Spark? Actually delicious.

And if you're here from Munchies, welcome to the unfiltered, fast-lane version. Because sometimes, art deserves more than a polite nod—it deserves an interruption. 🚀
