This year's festival design was developed by students of the Graphic Design Department. A big thank you to Winona Hudec, Simon Hundsbichler, Maria Rudakova and Mandy Zaninovic!

A war is raging in Europe. The climate is increasingly pushing entire regions to their limits. High inflation rates, energy crises and supply bottlenecks are straining households and the economy. The pandemic that has dominated and unhinged public interaction for two years is on summer break, but probably neither over nor will it be the last. And meanwhile, new technologies are fundamentally changing the way we live and work. Can we, may we, insist on the importance of art in a time marked by pandemic, war and uncertainty?

Angewandte takes a clear stance: Yes, one may, no, one must even! Artistic thinking and working requires the critical exploration of ambivalences and dealing with ambiguity. It is about the ability to question and often to challenge realities; it is about identifying contradictions and contextualizations and deconstructing their function; it is about seeking and recognizing new contexts, generating ambiguity and accepting it as constitutive elements of reality. The challenges of our present call for complex and multi-layered solutions. Only a society whose members understand contradictions, ambiguities, multi-layeredness and complexity less as a threat than as a necessary mindset for living with radical transformation processes can master the great challenges.

That's why engaging with art is so important right now, because art engages with precisely this mindset.

When we open our doors in 2022 for the Angewandte Festival, we invite you to our art university, which we see as a place of exchange and collaboration. Angewandte is not an academic ivory tower for art for art's sake, but rather we want to contribute to understanding this complex world through the means of art, architecture, design, theory, pedagogy and restoration, with professional excellence and interdisciplinary vision.

Rector Gerald Bast

The Angewandte Festival 2022 is a strong sign that the university is a place where we question the existing and develop models for sustainable, cooperative, collaborative futures with artistic, scientific and transdisciplinary means. This is underscored by this year’s festival design, developed by students of the Department of Graphic Design, which turns the central university buildings into bouncy castles. Abstract, ambiguous, humorous and critical results of the academic year 2021/22 can be seen in the exhibitions of the departments daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and show what has been created at the Angewandte. For the Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz, which is banned for traffic during the festival, Stefan Diez and his team developed the OK Solar-Project from recycled solar panels to further initiate innovative uses of solar energy in public spaces. In daily guided tours through the workshops and exhibitions, students will provide insights into the diverse work processes at the Angewandte and invite visitors to engage and exchange. We look forward to seeing you there!
