Angewandte Festival 2024

The University of Applied Arts warmly invites you to this year’s Angewandte Festival. In the course of the festival, the Angewandte presents all that evolves, fails, and succeeds during the past academic year. From June 26 to 29, 2024, we will open our buildings and invite visitors to various exhibitions and an exciting program of guided tours, performances, discussions, readings, and more that underlines what will be shown in the artistic departments. This year’s visual design was developed by students of the department of Design and Narrative Media (Mandy Zaninovic and Cheyenne Cattaneo in collaboration with Verena Müller). It directs curious glances in different directions. Ambiguous objects with spiky eyelashes move in space—partly arbitrary, motivated, partly rebellious. This year’s concept by Sam Jacob and Petra Gruber for the Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz in front of the main building of the university transforms the street into the “Piazza Novissima”. A series of brightly colored patterned columns will temporarily be arranged to form gateways, seating, colonnades, and social settings to reclaim the street as a civic space. The festival underlines the university as a place to experiment and critically engage with current societal and political conditions by means of artistic strategies, art and research.

Exhibitions in the main university buildings as well as in venues around the city will be accompanied by a multidisciplinary program. Information about the program will be available online at angewandtefestival.at from mid-June.
