Presenting the prize to the artist on February 28, 2020 at the University of Applied Arts Vienna

“The Oskar Kokoschka Award 2020 goes to the Berlin based artist Monica Bonvicini. On behalf of the jury I would like to cordially congratulate Monica Bonvicini. I am very pleased to honor an artist who left deadlocked disciplines and media long ago and who always refers to socio-political conditions in her work”, announced jury chairman Gerald Bast, rector of the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Bonvicinis artistic work is of high socio-political relevance and insistently invites to reflect upon social conditions. Monica Bonvicini applies different media such as sculpture, installation, video and photography in herwork – always crossing or leaving particular borders. In doing so she creates environments that make spacial developments and power structures accessible and tangible. Bonvicini questions the relationship of gender roles, power and control and discloses them. In her work, language is of vital importance, not only but also whilst using a dry sense of humour.

The new heads of the Department of Fashion Design at the University of Applied Arts Vienna have been appointed: The Fashion Master Class headed by the designer duo Lucie and Luke Meier will kick off the new academic year.

Architect duo Cristina Díaz Moreno and Efrén García Grinda are going to be taking over the University Professorship for Architectural Design 1 at the University of Applied Arts Vienna from October 2019. Díaz Moreno and García Grinda founded the renowned architectural firm amid.cero9 in Madrid, Spain in 1997. In its international call for proposals, Angewandte has turned to architects who are very interested in the forward-looking further development of built architecture and urban planning and who are taking on the challenges facing urban areas.

The premiere of the SHOW MODEKLASSE 19 staged in the University’s own building for the first time is being accompanied by other news: A brand new magazine – „Arachne – An Almanac on Clothing and Culture“ – will be published in the Edition Angewandte and will be presented directly from the printing press at the fashion show. At the same time a fare-well will take place as the head of the class, Hussein Chalayan, will leave Die Angewandte at the end of this academic year. As every year the graduates will not only show their designs and outfits at the SHOW MODEKLASSE 19 but also present their works to an international jury of experts. And, last but not least, the donated awards and prizes for the students and their work will be announced during the fashion show.
