Château Rouge presents Till Ayasse, Javier Areal Vélez, Tayla Myree & Lukas König

Château Rouge, the independent art and cultural space in Meidling, presents a new series of curated events across two weekends. Bringing together concerts, DJ sets, installations, and performances, the programme creates a space for contemporary artistic practices, exchange, and encounter.

Till Ayasse
A passion for art and creative work has shaped my everyday life since early childhood. With more than 15 years of experience working across different techniques, I have developed a deep connection to art that is reflected in every piece I create. Through my work, I seek to build a bridge between recognisable nature and abstract perspectives, inviting viewers into a world that encourages reflection and opens up new ways of seeing.
