CRACKS  RISSE   VOIDS

A performative and participatory tour, developed with the participation of students from the KKP department and the PhD programme


Which stories are told, and which ones are left out? Which ones are still unheard? Which ones can we add?

Where are the crevices? Where are the cracks?
We take a close look into these gaps and dive into the abyss of the void.

Based on these questions, the tour, developed with and by students from the Department of Art and Communicative Practice (Teacher Certification) and the PhD programme, explores the Weltmuseum Wien's permanent collection, starting with the current exhibition The Colours of the Earth – Modern Textile Art in Mexico.
The mediation format was developed in the artistic seminar Field Research at the Weltmuseum Wien by Loki Lotta, Karim Omran, Anja Strastil, Niklas Wolf and Hui Zhu, students of the Department of Art and Communicative Practice (Institute of Studies in Art and Art Education)) and the PhD programme at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
 

Using artistic methods, the seminar, led by Nicole Miltner, critically dealt with ethnological collections in general and the collection of the Weltmuseum Wien in particular.
