Layr was founded by Emanuel Layr in Vienna, Austria in 2011 in order to continue and enhance the agenda of his former gallery LayrWuestenhagen (2005-2011). The gallery program focusses on contextualizing and confronting notions and artistic manifestations of the conceptual with the relevant social, political and cultural issues of today. Based in a city with a long history of oscillation between hemispheres—East and West, North and South—, the program strives for interplay between artists from different generations and cultural or discursive backgrounds.
In September 2015 Layr moved into a two story space in Vienna’s city centre, and from 2017 to 2020 has been developing and running a subsidiary in Rome, Italy, adding yet another dimension of exchange, expansion and integration to its profile. In Spring 2021, the gallery opened another temporary gallery space in Vienna.
In 2021 Emanuel Layr together Croy Nielsen, Vienna founded CNL. CNL is a platform for the realization of ideas that go beyond their respective gallery programs. The website is a developing space which will be shaped by future projects. Part of its purpose is to create a space for artists to explore new ways of disseminating work, as well as supporting artists emerging in different contexts. Reflecting new developments and emerging opportunities, CNL aims to see how cultural and conceptual value can be explored in the digital arena.
