Angewandte Festival 2023

For the fifth year the University of Applied Arts Vienna presents in the course of the Angewandte Festival all that evolves, fails and succeeds during the past academic year. From June 27 to 30, 2023, we will open our buildings and invite visitors to various exhibitions and a full 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 Graphics and Marketing and deals with the appropriation of the university buildings itself through tags, messages and drawings. The University is a place to experiment and to critically engage with current societal and political conditions by means of artistic strategies, art and research. This year’s concept for the Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz  in front of the main building of Angewandte by Jakob Lena Knebl transforms the street into a “Baumschule” (tree nursery). In collaboration with a local gardening school of Vienna young trees will temporarily create a different atmosphere and quality of stay at the square, showing the potential of urban greening to deal with issues such as climate challenges. 

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.
