Undisciplined

Kunsthalle Exnergasse Wuk, Wien

The project focuses on intersection points and addresses the themes of space and spatial design in the light of an expanded and dynamic understanding of space. Above all, the borderline between these disciplines is of interest. In all three of these fields, there are questions about the treatment of space, the relationship between functionality and aesthetics, the usability and the usage, the marketing strategies. The result will be models, sketches, photography, sculptural objects or prototypes and they will all, even simply due to their authorship and development process, oscillate between the disciplines.

Exhibition:
The project focuses on intersection points and addresses the themes of space and spatial design in the light of an expanded and dynamic understanding of space. Above all, the borderline between these disciplines is of interest. In all three of these fields, there are questions about the treatment of space, the relationship between functionality and aesthetics, the usability and the usage, the marketing strategies. However, despite the apparent similarities between these disciplines, they are clearly different in their specific manifestations and answers to such questions. In the context of an interdisiciplinary project, the common ground will be first be defined to enable concrete reactions from each discipline on the others’ work fields in a subsequent step. The exhibition will ultimately present the outcome of the experiment. The result will be models, sketches, photography, sculptural objects or prototypes and they will all, even simply due to their authorship and development process, oscillate between the disciplines.

Symposium:
Artists, architects and designers have worked on the subject of "space" for a long time. They share an interest in what is a central cultural, sociological, political and economic issue, but formulate approaches that are fundamentally different. From the beginning of construction and the early integration of artists in commissioned work situations to phenomena such as the Wiener Werkstätte or Bauhaus, this story takes the reader to the currently delicate situation in which the conditions seemingly have to be constituted anew. The role of architectural, urban and territorial conditions within contemporary art and installation art, the use of industrial production techniques and the influence of performance, sculptural and participative work methods taken from current architecture and design can be understood as symbols of this process. The borders of disciplines that are considered to be social are increasingly in doubt and thus these disciplines require alternative work models.
