Angewandte Festival
2020
The University of Applied Arts Vienna is committed to counteracting the production conditions in
the arts and cultural sectors, which are massively restricted by the current situation. The Angewandte Festival 2020 will
therefore take place and focus on alternative exhibition venues in digital and public space.
Even if students,
teachers and members of the university cannot, as usual, exhibit their works in the university buildings and invite participants
to join discussions, debates and celebrations, we want to use the end of this challenging semester as an opportunity to produce
new works and projects to be exhibited and discussed publicly. By moving this year’s Angewandte Festival into virtual spaces,
we do not intend to proclaim a brave new digital world, but to react critically, awake and curious to the current situation.
The
Angewandte Festival will take place 23-26 June, 2020, in digital as well as public spaces and will present the manifold
activities of the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
More information on the programme for the event period will be
available here from the beginning of June 2020 and on the official Angewandte Festival Website: https://angewandtefestival.at/
