Finding Funding – Some Structural and Biographical Notes
Lecture by Luise Reitstätter
In the arts and science field, securing a permanent position is the exception rather than the rule. As a result, third-party
funding is often needed to finance one’s own work. Following a structural introduction to the Austrian funding landscape,
the lecture focuses on my own funding biography with individual project sketches and lessons learned from each constellation.
These examples include smaller projects funded by the Federal Chancellery (“Easy-to-Read”) and the WWTF (“Approaching the
3s”), medium-sized projects funded by the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research (“City-Country-Child”, “City-County-Image”)
and the Austrian Jubilaeumsfonds (“Right to the Museum”) up to larger projects funded by the EU (“AXIOM”) and FWF-DFG (“The
Museum Gaze”).

Luise Reitstätter is a cultural scientist with a background in communication studies (MA), sociology and cultural studies (PhD) and art science (ongoing habilitation). After working in the international art scene – i.e., for documenta 12 and the Austrian Pavilion at La Biennale di Venezia 2008 and 2009 – she shifted her work focus to academia. Her transdisciplinary research and teaching deals with practices of modern and contemporary art, museum and exhibition studies as well as empirical methods in social research. Currently, she works as the head of the Laboratory for Cognitive Research (CReA) at the Department of Art History at the University of Vienna.
