Pre-Programme in the City

Angewandte Festival 2021


With our pre-programme for the Angewandte Festival 2021 we will spread out into public space and send out signals of the Angewandte Festival into public space. With this, we want to acknowledge the analogue and the physical, to provoke movements in the city and to incite encounters. The contributions are intended as thematic stimulations that will be continued within the framework of the Angewandte Festival between 29 June and 2 July, 2021.

In 2021, we are going to recapture analogue space.

 
Following the current Covid-19-restrictions, the activities are streamed from different locations and can be visited online at angewandtefestival.at.

Upcoming Dates:

Jeremy Wade: Love Is Not Romance, honey!
Lecture Performance by The Battlefield Nurse
↳19:00
↳STREAMED from Platz vor dem Bundesamtsgebäude
↳PERFORMANCE Lecture Performance
↳ART AND KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER together with the UniNEtZ

Where is love?? In an impossible possible political ritual Jeremy Wade’s 5000-year-old Battlefield Nurse alter ego is sick of how crucial terms such as care, repair and love have been sold down the river in the violent present. We need love to serve as force of interdependence with intimate strangers and all earthly creatures. Sing it!! The Battlefield Nurse will lead a participatory intervention, a fake political ritual repositioning love as a hyper relational ethic.

EARTH 2
A billboard exhibition
↳Exhibition in the City

Development of life on earth is picking up speed. This man-made acceleration is bringing about a kind of change that will soon make human life on earth intolerable.  Where do we come from? And where do we want to go to? What sort of place are we looking for, and what will we do with it once we’ve found it?

We will begin by getting collectively involved with developing the concept of archive(s). Students of Language Arts at University of Applied Arts Vienna, Audiowalks: at the heart of various different projects lies the universal question about stories that curate history, about the violence with which they are enforced – and finally, what “writing despite everything” could look like, in order to enter back rooms and the back of pictures and reshuffle the cards.
