An Intervention by the University of Applied
Arts Vienna in the MAK’s Permanent Collection
The current MAK Permanent Collection Vienna 1900
with its diverse exhibits from design and arts and crafts is at the heart of the intervention TRANSMEDIA 1900. Students
from the Transmedia Art class at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (head: Jakob Lena Knebl) intensively explored the exhibits
from the complex cultural epoch between 1890 and 1938 and responded to objects from the Arts and Crafts movement, the Wiener
Werkstätte, or interior designs by Adolf Loos and Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky. Their ideas and critical approaches, inspired
by the Collection, are expressed in ceramics, drawings, textile works, music pieces, or installations. With 17 temporary interventions
in the rooms of the Permanent Collection, they let new associations with Viennese Modernism arise while the MAK team prepares
the reinstallation of the Collection rooms, which will open in 2025.
