From Wednesday 1 to Saturday 4 July 2026, the University of Applied
Arts Vienna will present final-year projects spanning a wide range of art and research in curated exhibitions.
A multidisciplinary programme ties in with the exhibitions
and demonstrates how the University of Applied Arts Vienna brings interdisciplinary ideas to society. Under the title unfinished business, students from the Institute
for Language Art are dedicating themselves this year at Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz
to the linguistic exploration of what is missing: Who speaks to whom? And to whom not? Which worlds sustain the show? The
square as a place of assembly can be static, representational, or we can keep it unfinished: a place that emerges through
dialogue. A place of languages, of speech.

On Wednesday, 1 July at 4.00 pm, the Angewandte Festival 2026 will officially open with unfinished business by the Institute for Language Art at Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz (with ÖGS sign language
interpreting), followed by a performative reading and exhibition openings. Following this, the music programme on the square begins, transforming the square into a communal open-air dance floor.
Paulusplatz Day on
Thursday, 2 July, brings together diploma presentations and a performance
programme from the departments of Site-Specific Art and Sculpture and Space. As the exhibition draws to a close, an animated film screening (at 9.00 pm) will take place in the courtyard of the main
building on Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz.
On
Friday, 3 July, the square will host another music programme, inviting visitors to spend the evening at Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz.
The
final day, Saturday 4 July, offers another opportunity to discover the
diversity of the Angewandte’s artistic works and disciplines in the department exhibitions.
