Introduction:

Major art collections are like icebergs: only a fraction of their mass is visible, while quite often the larger part of it remains hidden. This is even more true of the art collections of the University of Applied Arts Vienna: because the institution neither has a permanent exhibition space nor a significant advertising budget, and its treasures are only sporadically presented in public. Its holdings nevertheless harbor great potential for discursive reinterpretations and reassessments: the richness of underappreciated or repressed positions in art and design history within the collections is enormous. Their very pivotal raison d’être is to provide the occasion to question the established canons through “counter-re-discoveries”. Now comprising some 65,000 works, the collection of the University of Applied Arts Vienna was established in the 1980s at the initiative of the former rector Oswald Oberhuber, with a focus on important developments and protagonists at the Imperial and Royal School of Applied Arts. Indeed, since its inception, the school has been pioneering in many respects: Early on, it advocated for pedagogical concepts and approaches to design that were later adopted in the preparatory courses of the Bauhaus in Weimar. The same applies to the concept of the “moderne Raumkunst” (literally: “modern spatial art”) as developed by the protagonists of the Wiener Werkstätte, who regarded the design of exhibition spaces as an artistic task in ist own right. Unlike other universities, at the School of Applied Arts, women were eligible for admission right from

its establishment in 1867. The university’s Collection and Archive seek to highlight these aspects in exhibitions, presentations, and discussions. Oswald Oberhuber understood art as a reflection of both politics and society. He thus was eager to tackle history from a contemporary perspective and to develop alternative aesthetic narratives, i. e. to pluralize the arthistorical canon. Those artists who had been killed or expelled by the Nazi regime in Austria were given special attention, not least through exhibitions and publications such as Die Vertreibung des Geistigen aus Österreich: zur Kulturpolitik des Nationalsozialismus (1986) and early solo presentations of “forgotten” artists, which Oberhuber conceived together with Erika Patka, head of collections at the time.

Kabarett Fledermaus @ Bar du Bois
Update of an Experiment of Viennese Modernism

A legendary site of Viennese modernism

The past is not over – it can be rediscovered and explored in archives, and even revived. One such revival – in several acts – is that of the legendary Cabaret Fledermaus (1907–1913) in Vienna, once a locus of emancipatory and escapist tendencies as well as pioneering artistic design.

As part of an international cooperative project, the Department of Collection and Archive of the University of Applied Arts Vienna constructed a faithful replica of the famous bar of this cabaret in 2019, and in 2020 the artists’ collective Bar du Bois developed an exhibition entitled unter flaschen. die Fledermaus in der Bar du Bois [among bottles. The Fledermaus at the Bar du Bois]. This publication documents both the rediscovery of a legendary site of Viennese modernism and its current twofold “resurrection”.

New perspectives on the collection are developed in dialogue with contemporary artists, teachers and students of the university. These projects question inclusions and exclusions within the modernist canon and discuss relations between applied and visual art and their claims to autonomy. In dialogue with the art collection’s historical contexts we furthermore commission, produce and acquire new works.

Display Case Collection and Archive

The display case in the main building of the university is a changing exhibition site providing an insight into projects of Collection and Archive through commissioned work by contemporary artists.

The exhibition Der Hausfreund presents the multifaceted artist Friedrich von Berzeviczy-

Pallavicini (1909–89) as a highly topical rediscovery. Within the milieu of the Vienna School

of Applied Arts, Berzeviczy-Pallavicini created works in an idiosyncratic and mannered formal

language that appears surprisingly contemporary today. Drawing on the extensive catalogue

of works in the university’s collection, the exhibition examines, contrasts, and reinterprets

relevant motifs from the artist’s oeuvre in dialogue with contemporary artists and historically

related works.

The exhibition, curated in 2019 by the head of collections Cosima Rainer and the

artist Robert Müller, was shown in two different versions at the University Gallery in

Heiligenkreuzer Hof in Vienna and at the Austrian Cultural Forum in Berlin.

The name of the exhibition, Der Hausfreund (literally “friend of the house”), is wellchosen

in view of the artist’s generous donation to the art collection in 1986 of over three

hundred works, which the then rector Oswald Oberhuber and head of collections Erika Patka

were delighted to accept. A few years previously, in 1982, Oberhuber had awarded Berzeviczy-

Pallavicini the recently introduced title of Honorary Member of the University of Applied Arts.

Kabarett Fledermaus

Recreation of the tile mosaic in the bar based on designs by Josef Hoffmann, Bertold Löffler and Michael Powolny (1907), 2019.

Concept and organisation: Cosima Rainer, Sofie Mathoi

Produktion / Production: Beate Seckauer – Neuzeughammer Keramik, Maria Wiala – ceramics studio University of Applied Arts Vienna, Spadlinek und die Fliesenmacher

In 2019, Kunstsammlung und Archiv developed a blueprint for an exact stylistic reconstruction of the ceramic decor of the famous bar room at Cabaret Fledermaus based on a single surviving black-and-white photograph. Fortunately, it was able to realize that blueprint together with a broad range of experts and specialized artists in the framework of a collaboration with the Barbican Center in London. Thanks to this exact reconstruction, the experimental spatial constellation and artistic vision of this extraordinary establishment can now be experienced physically as well. It has already been exhibited as a walk-in “inner world” at the Barbican Center in London in 2019 and at the Belvedere in Vienna in 2020 as part of an international exhibition on trailblazing artists’ bars and establishments curated by Florence Ostende.

Planned by Josef Hoffmann, Cabaret Fledermaus is regarded as one of the preeminent projects of the Wiener Werkstätte alongside Palais Stoclet in Brussels and Sanatorium Purkersdorf. It was elaborately conceived and designed by the group’s major figures, most of whom were also teachers at the Wiener Kunstgewerbeschule (Vienna School of Arts and Crafts). Cabaret Fledermaus experienced its heyday from 1907 to 1909. The tile decor in the bar room was designed by artists Michael Powolny and Bertold Löffler, who worked together with various ceramicists. Many of the tiles came from the production of their company “Wiener Keramik,” of which they were the founders. The psychedelic effect of the bar area with its explosion of colors and fantastic motifs conveys the Fledermaus’s program as a site of transformation and metamorphosis in the medium of architecture. Unfortunately, the venue’s former impact can only be appreciated today through documentary material, since the building itself, at the corner of Johannesgasse and Kärntnerstraße, was completely destroyed in 1945.

Ciphers of Regression

Painting Department, Henning Bohl in collaboration with Collection and Archive, festival angewandte, 2019.

Ciphers of Regression (June 25 to 28, 2019) was a project by the Painting Department in collaboration with the Collection of the University of Applied Arts Vienna. It consisted of an auction (June 25, 2019) conducted by Marei Buhmann and Sofie Fatouretchi; musical interludes by Jutta Maris & Reena King, Angst, Die Süsen Mäuse, and In My Talons; an adaption of the exhibition Der Hausfreund, previously on view at Heiligenkreuzer Hof (May 2 to June 1, 2019); and an exhibition of hoodies. Pairs of hoodies were reworked, of which auction attendees acquired one. The counterpart was donated to the university’s collection.

Der Hausfreund. A Rediscovery of the Eccentric Work of Friedrich von Berzeviczy-Pallavicini

Drawing on the comprehensive holdings of the artist’s work in the collection of the Vienna University of Applied Arts, the exhibition highlights Friedrich von Berzeviczy-Pallavicini (1909–1989), once a colorful personality in the milieu of the Vienna School of Arts and Crafts, as a contemporary and

highly topical rediscovery. In contrast to the disciplined aesthetics of the Wiener Werkstätte, the works Berzeviczy-Pallavicini left behind are characterized by a mannerist and original language of forms. Although hardly shown to date, they constitute a rediscovery for today’s world of art.

Opening a dialogue with works by contemporary international artists as well as related historical positions, the exhibition Der Hausfreund takes up, reflects, and reinterprets important motifs of the artist’s production.

Birkhäuser Verlag

Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky (1897 - 2000) is widely known as Austria's first female architect, as a pioneer of social architecture, as the inventor of the Frankfurt kitchen, as an activist in the women's movement and, last but not least, as a heroine of resistance against the Nazi dictatorship.

Recent research in the fields of art history, contemporary history, pedagogy and gender studies presents a more differentiated picture of the architect, whose estate is located at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Her rich architectural oeuvre, her transnational experiences and professional networks, her political career as a communist and last but not least her current reception will be examined.

This volume presents Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, the icon of architectural history, beyond all myths.
