A multi-layered open-ended documentation project (publication
– film – exhibition) providing insights into current projects of Art & Research at the University of Applied Arts Vienna
about transforming understanding, understanding transformation and the development of the relations beyond.
Curated by
Gerald Bast, Alexander Damianisch, Barbara Putz-Plecko.
Based on projects with a focal point
on artistic research activities, the Angewandte offers an overview of possible positions and illuminates current research
perspectives.
Together we understand research without topical limits — focusing on artistic methods — as
a font of vivid examples that can give rise to an inviting milieu of challenge and exchange. A working environment that avoids
limits and fosters curiosity heightens achievement. This understanding flows into all areas of activity, including science
and art, design and architecture. The transformation of society must constantly be considered anew.
We present...
- different formats of artistic practice, challenging and reshaping our perspectives of understanding,
- collective
endeavours that explicitly open / direct artistic practice towards the development of new ways of understanding and cognising
specific themes and topics.
- We further take “research-based teaching” (Humboldt) to its core meaning as the notion
of research-based teaching should be expanded by and grounded in art, making it art-research-based teaching.
