The conference will cast a theoretical light on the specific
questions of the exhibition from a variety of standpoints. The main themes will be the history of separating the genres of
fine and applied arts, as well as how certain applied media have developed to the present day. Also at issue is the valence
of craftsmanship as well as the role of the MAK [Museum of Art and Industry] and the Kunstgewerbeschule Wien
[Vienna School of Arts and Crafts]. The lectures and the podium discussion afterwards are meant to contribute to developing
a vision for the workshops at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
