Exhibitions

With the exhibition Fernheilung (Distant Healing), the Angewandte looks back at the artistic scene in Vienna during the decade in which its collection was founded in 1980 by Oswald Oberhuber, the rector at the time: Works from the university's environment at the time, documents and selected loans are used to create a parcours that highlights important events in the art world, exhibitions, artistic movements and discourses of the time in their context.

Do we need a title to grasp the content/message of a work? To what extent does the title help us "get into" the work? Especially in reduction, abstraction, and minimal art, a compelling title is often needed to understand the work.

The exhibition TRANSMODULAR brings together in various modules selected works by students, graduates and alumni of the class for Transmedia Art at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, which is currently led by Jakob Lena Knebl, as well as results from the cooperation with the Fashion class under Craig Green.

Arts-based Research-Installation by MUELLER-DIVJAK in the course of the artistic project SENSING LIVING SYSTEMS at AIL

We are all living systems: sensitive beings embedded in and connected to other living Systems. The art-based research project SENSING LIVING SYSTEMS (SLS) explores how sensory experiences – especially through smell, touch and sound – can foster a deeper awareness of our interconnected world and provide an understanding of ­living, complex ­systems – whether in nature, society or art.

On 31 May 2025, the third exhibition as part of the Broken Collection research project will open at Loosdorf Castle in Lower Austria.
Lectures by Prof Marija Wakounig, University of Vienna, and Konstanze Pfeffer, graduate of the Institute of Conservation, will accompany the opening.

Hinschaun! ist die Aufforderung, einen unverstellten Blick auf die NS-Herrschaft in Kärnten zu werfen und sich – 80 Jahre nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges – mit verdrängten Aspekten der eigenen Geschichte zu befassen. Von Kärnten aus geht es zu Schauplätzen von Krieg, Repression und Massenmord in Norwegen, Polen, Slowenien, Kroatien und Italien, werden Widerstände und vergessene Tatorte sichtbar gemacht, Nachkriegsbiografien neu kontextualisiert und die Rolle des Museums beleuchtet. Wir fragen: Was ist geschehen? Wie wurde erinnert? Und was bedeutet das für unsere Gegenwart?
