Roland, a painter and animator who studied under Maria Lassnig, and Richard, a designer and sculptor trained by Matteo Thun, have long been active in Ottakring\u2019s cultural scene. Their vision turned this former petrol station into a living gallery. Together, they run the space as part of the MASC Foundation, blending their artistic practices with curatorial work. What started as a temporary project is now a permanent symbol of independent creativity in the heart of Vienna&#8217;s 16th district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"humamvideo\" style=\"position:relative;overflow:hidden;width:100%;padding-top: 56.25%;margin:20px 0px;\"><iframe style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/stream.hu.nl\/players\/tzF6aPTM-Kv4Phafj.html\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Vienna\u2019s Ottakring district, a former gas station has been reborn as a vibrant hub for contemporary art.
