“What’s next? What do we, as emerging artists, when we are given the opportunity to interact with an exhibition that is so rich in art history?”
This is the question, students from the Transmedia Art class at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (head: Jakob Lena Knebl) asked themselves. They delved deeply into the MAK Permanent Collection Vienna 1900 and responded to the Arts and Crafts movement, the Wiener Werkstätte, or interiors by Adolf Loos und Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky. Their ideas and critical approaches inspired by the Collection are expressed in very different media, including drawings, ceramics, textile works, videos, or music compositions. They reflect themes such as memory, technological change, gender roles, or fundamental shifts in society.
MAK – Museum für angewandte Kunst
The role of applied art in shaping our living spaces is the focus of the MAK, which operates at the interface of design, architecture and contemporary art in order to create new perspectives and explore borderline areas. The MAK aims to provide answers to the question of how design can help shape the world and expand possibilities for action and decision-making.
