The favourite genre of Johan Lorbeer’s work is super-slow performance. It is an artistic act, the working language of different types of visual art such as sculpture, installation and dramatic body gesture. At the centre of this creative effort are spatial-temporal gaps, interruptions, transitions and inversions. Through the fixation of his own body in a highly unusual place and condition in space and time, the artist is striving to express its fluidity in a physical way.

Lorbeer’s remains a real human being, he himself spending an hour and a half in tempo of the sculpture. He is not the sculpture itself, but rather its prototype. Thus half of the name of his performance—Tarzan/Standbein—refers to the classical pose of a model.

The Wiener Spielstrasse offers children something that is hard to come by in parks: space to let loose. They can make use of raw, functionally almost unlimited, gender-neutral materials such as giant balloons, parachutes, ropes, wool, chalk, boxes, giant bubbles, and more. Children will become pioneers of the social and spatial reappropriation of the street as a place for a variety of uses through play within a shared and fair usage concept. Everyone will be invited to play with them on the street.

At the invitation of Christoph Thun-Hohenstein, Director, MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art, Vienna, Martin Roth, Director, Victoria & Albert Museum, London, and Olivier Gabet, Director, Musée des Arts décoratifs, Paris, the first meeting of the initiative of the Network of
the Applied Arts Museums will take place on 12 June 2015 in Vienna. The event will reflect the shared opportunities and challenges the Museums of Decorative and Applied Arts face today and explore the ways of capitalising fully on the synergies between institutions in the future. The meeting will also
discuss the relationships between Applied Arts Museums and creative industries and examine the social impact of the museums in a broader context.

Keynote speeches by John Kampfner, Director/CEO of the Creative Industries Federation in the UK, and Simonetta Carbonaro, Professor of Humanistic Marketing and Design Management at the University of Borås in Sweden, followed by discussion.

Have you ever seen how a city is built? A guided tour of the construction site takes us to the first occupied homes along the lakeside, to the Flederhaus. Together we climb high for a view over the future city. What, do we think, the design should be like for the park on the water? We use models to develop our own visions, and bring them to life with Playmobil.

Founded in early 2010 by Viennese performance and media artist Oliver Hangl, who leads the group in cooperation with choir specialist Stefan Foidl, the Wiener Beschwerdechor (WBC) is a medium whose musical citizen interventions are polyphonic, contemporary, and performative, and always context- and site-specific.

For the Vienna Biennale the WBC has developed a performance in several parts in which the 50-member choir will be positioned visually and acoustically along the Stubenring and at the Angewandte Innovation Laboratory (AIL): The intervention will proceed as a protest march along the Ringstrasse to the AIL as an orderly procession oscillating between parade, demonstration, and concert. Complaints can be submitted in the complaint boxes in the auditorium at the Angewandte and on the website.

Starts in the auditorium at the Angewandte.

Ethical banks provide a forward-looking alternative to the existing banking model, and refuse any financial transactions without an economic background firmly rooted in real life. They only finance projects serving the common good.

Laughter, a performative struggle, a practice demonstration

transparadiso (Barbara Holub/Paul Rajakovics) will stage a demonstration with people who are afflicted by poverty and exclusion as a “laughing performance,” pressing for a renewal of this fundamental democratic right, which is increasingly being misused by privileged occupational groups to enforce outsized demands, while the concerns of those forced to live on the margins of society remain outside the domain of negotiable issues.

A group of hired security guards will patrol selected public areas in Vienna during the Performing Public Art Festival. At designated times, a single behavior will no longer be “acceptable” in a particular public space. These behaviors will be simple, innocuous things, such as speaking loudly, using a phone, walking in certain areas, sticking your hands in your pockets, sitting down, or wearing certain types of clothing. It will then be the guards’ job to approach members of the public and request that they desist from the behavior that is temporarily “inappropriate.” Ordering the Public is part of a series of works by Spiers and Ryan that explore and interfere with what is visible and permissible in public space.

With its contemporary design interventions, the MAK DESIGN SALON in the Geymüllerschlössel extends an invitation to a dialogue across time in order to induce new perspectives and interplays between the historic ambience and current discourse in design.  

As a collateral project of the VIENNA BIENNALE 2015: IDEAS FOR CHANGE, the designer duo Dunne & Raby have been invited to share their view of the future of design. For many years, Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby have been considered pioneers of a conceptual design movement that makes speculations about alternative lifestyles.   

With their most recent publication Speculative Everything: Design, Fiction, and Social Dreaming (MIT Press, 2013), they propagate an approach that uses design to illustrate and make negotiable plausible scenarios—rather than to simply visualize images of the future.

With The School of Constructed Realities, Dunne & Raby make use of the Geymüllerschlössel for the inauguration meeting of a fictitious school that both researches unreality and makes it the task of design. 1920). With their speculative school, the design duo invites visitors to contemplate the future, change, and the role of design.

These behaviors will be simple, innocuous things, such as speaking loudly, using a phone, walking in certain areas, sticking your hands in your pockets, sitting down, or wearing certain types of clothing. It will then be the guards’ job to approach members of the public and request that they desist from the behavior that is temporarily “inappropriate.” Ordering the Public is part of a series of works by Spiers and Ryan that explore and interfere with what is visible and permissible in public space.

Meeting point: AIL
Locations: Mariahilfer Straße, Praterstern, and other busy places in Vienna

What contribution can creative companies make to the quality of life in cities? By focusing on social entrepreneurship, the Vienna Business Agency appeals to companies that find sustainable solutions to social challenges—with a particular focus on impetuses from the creative economy. Who are these change makers and what can they contribute to the Vienna of tomorrow?

Value Chain (2013–2015) is a series of works comprising various body interventions in public space.

1F – Attack is the sixth work in the series. In the early morning hours, Barbis Ruder runs up against a rotating advertising column. Like a fly attracted by the light, the artist smacks against the column again and again.

In 2F – Attack, the live version of the video, six artists throw themselves against facades and closed doors. Through their “tilting at windmills,” the artists attack the institutions with their own flesh and blood. The intervention will take place along a route between MAK, Angewandte, Kunsthalle Wien Karlsplatz, Kunsthalle MQ and Architekturzentrum Wien. In a repetition of the same rhythm, first the artists lie exhausted on the ground, only to rise again, run to the next location, and undertake the next attempt.

With its contemporary design interventions, the MAK DESIGN SALON in the Geymüllerschlössel extends an invitation to a dialogue across time in order to induce new perspectives and interplays between the historic ambience and current discourse in design.  

As a collateral project of the VIENNA BIENNALE 2015: IDEAS FOR CHANGE, the designer duo Dunne & Raby have been invited to share their view of the future of design. For many years, Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby have been considered pioneers of a conceptual design movement that makes speculations about alternative lifestyles.   

With their most recent publication Speculative Everything: Design, Fiction, and Social Dreaming (MIT Press, 2013), they propagate an approach that uses design to illustrate and make negotiable plausible scenarios—rather than to simply visualize images of the future.

With The School of Constructed Realities, Dunne & Raby make use of the Geymüllerschlössel for the inauguration meeting of a fictitious school that both researches unreality and makes it the task of design. 1920). With their speculative school, the design duo invites visitors to contemplate the future, change, and the role of design.

Ethical banks provide a forward-looking alternative to the existing banking model, and refuse any financial transactions without an economic background firmly rooted in real life. They only finance projects serving the common good. You can visit a subsidiary of a forward-looking bank during the VIENNA BIENNALE 2015, and experience this participative, publicly-minded dealing with money first-hand.

With its contemporary design interventions, the MAK DESIGN SALON in the Geymüllerschlössel extends an invitation to a dialogue across time in order to induce new perspectives and interplays between the historic ambience and current discourse in design.  

As a collateral project of the VIENNA BIENNALE 2015: IDEAS FOR CHANGE, the designer duo Dunne & Raby have been invited to share their view of the future of design. For many years, Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby have been considered pioneers of a conceptual design movement that makes speculations about alternative lifestyles.   

With their most recent publication Speculative Everything: Design, Fiction, and Social Dreaming (MIT Press, 2013), they propagate an approach that uses design to illustrate and make negotiable plausible scenarios—rather than to simply visualize images of the future.

With The School of Constructed Realities, Dunne & Raby make use of the Geymüllerschlössel for the inauguration meeting of a fictitious school that both researches unreality and makes it the task of design. 1920). With their speculative school, the design duo invites visitors to contemplate the future, change, and the role of design.

Repair and Service Center (R.U.S.Z)
A Good Life in a Capitalist Market Economy

The mandate and mission of the Repair and Service Center (R.U.S.Z) is to link social and environmental needs in order to create jobs for the formerly unemployed and train them to become highly skilled technicians. As a “byproduct,” these people will make important contributions to the reduction of waste and the conservation of resources.

The Repair and Service Center (R.U.S.Z) in brief:
- Explaining the problem of new electrical and electronic devices that are no longer designed to be long-lasting and easy to repair
- The problem of resources: What happens to broken devices?
- How can we better manage this problem in the future? By sharing, trading, repairing, etc.

Symbiotic painting: communicating with one another through the language of colors

In this workshop, participants will paint a picture together and get to know one another in a completely new way on a visual level. We will take common rather than solitary paths, share the joy of painting, and learn from one another. Living together in cities often results in interpersonal voids. These voids will be gradually filled through a process of symbiotic painting between two or more participants—with lines, colors, dreams, wishes, feelings, personality, compassion ...

Creative Time, a New York based nonprofit that has presented innovative public art projects since 1973. One of our signature programs is the Creative Time Summit, an annual conference dedicated to art and politics. Called “visionary” by the New York Times, the Summit brings together thought-provoking artists, activists, curators, scholars, and policymakers who operate at the intersection of these fields. Since 2011, a global network of over 150 organizations, universities, and cultural institutions have hosted screenings of the Summit everywhere from Melbourne to Kathmandu, expanding the audience beyond the 5,600 live attendees and 230 international presenters who have participated since 2009.
Over the course of three days in August 2015, the 7th Creative Time Summit, devoted to expanded notions of “curriculum,” will take place within Okwui Enwezor’s exhibition for la Biennale di Venezia, All the World’s Futures. Since 2009, the annual Creative Time Summit has operated as a convening, a discussion, and a platform for the intersection of art and politics. La Biennale offers a unique opportunity to gather an international, interdisciplinary community to consider how knowledge is produced and how it comes into contact with civil society. In its original Latin, curriculum signified a course, like the path that one ran around or traversed in a racing chariot. When the term began appearing in seventeenth century Scottish universities, it was used figuratively to mean “a course of study.” Eventually, it signaled that which prepares a person for working, thinking, and participating as a fully developed member of society. When understood as a network of lived experiences, learned actions, and known facts, curriculum speaks of all that this Summit hopes to address.

You can learn how to use paper and pencil to capture scenes and draw in perspective. This class will be taught by Rainer, who studied interior design in London and creates presentation drawings for interior and landscape designs. Participants will work with him to create their first drawings.

We’ll choose things in and around magdas HOTEL to draw. Each of the drawings will be made on a postcard that will be framed and hung in one of the rooms at magdas HOTEL.

With its contemporary design interventions, the MAK DESIGN SALON in the Geymüllerschlössel extends an invitation to a dialogue across time in order to induce new perspectives and interplays between the historic ambience and current discourse in design.  

As a collateral project of the VIENNA BIENNALE 2015: IDEAS FOR CHANGE, the designer duo Dunne & Raby have been invited to share their view of the future of design. For many years, Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby have been considered pioneers of a conceptual design movement that makes speculations about alternative lifestyles.   

With their most recent publication Speculative Everything: Design, Fiction, and Social Dreaming (MIT Press, 2013), they propagate an approach that uses design to illustrate and make negotiable plausible scenarios—rather than to simply visualize images of the future.

With The School of Constructed Realities, Dunne & Raby make use of the Geymüllerschlössel for the inauguration meeting of a fictitious school that both researches unreality and makes it the task of design. 1920). With their speculative school, the design duo invites visitors to contemplate the future, change, and the role of design.

Vienna is Growing: At Whose Expense?

“More growth” is the order of the day in times of global crises. Development is seen as a guarantor of prosperity and a healthy economy. But can this promise still be kept in times of dwindling resources and disadvantaged areas? What opportunities and risks do growth scenarios entail, and how can the process be designed to be equally fair to all city residents? What environmental, socially responsible, and regional models offer alternatives to help us combat the negative consequences for the environment and urban society?

A discussion with Michael Getzner (Centre of Public Finance and Infrastructure Policy, Vienna University of Technology), Christoph Chorherr (Green Party, Vienna City Council), Thomas Ritt (Vienna Chamber of Labor), and Franziska Leeb (moderator)

The round-table discussion will be followed by a reception with snacks and drinks.

Join in on the discussion! We’ll talk about the significance of the new: Is the idea of innovation the absolute imperative of our time? What social change do we really need? Art educators from the MAK, Kunsthalle Wien, and the Az W will invite you to think about and discuss these questions with them. We’ll work with things, images, and quotations as well as works from the exhibitions and search for untested and previously unknown paths in order to imagine the new.

These unique, open-air acts explore the rich traditions and evanescent articulations of poetry, literature, performance, philosophy, and language-based artistic practice at TBA21–Augarten. EPHEMEROPTERÆ—referring to species which live only for a brief moment—stages the fleeting emergence of singular and truly remarkable voices performing, displaying, and choreographing spoken expression.

A workshop on the city of the future from a child’s perspective
Children are addressed as experts of their spaces; they will develop and build their “2051 City” in the ballgame area of the Alois-Drasche-Park in Vienna’s Wieden district over the course of two weeks this summer (24 – 29 Aug 2015 and 31 Aug – 3 Sep 2015). In six workshops during the first week of the Bauwerk:Stadt, spatial structures, floating objects, and utopian landscapes will be made from everyday and reused materials. Each of these workshops is dedicated to a different material: objects and spaces will be created in a spontaneous and improvised way—with simple construction techniques and without tools—from cardboard tubes, packaging, plastic bags, and worn-out furniture. In keeping with the concept of free play, the workshops, will equip the children with new skills and abilities to build the city of the future, which will emerge in the course of the project.

Private Space
We will create objects, costumes, and spaces out of cardboard tubes and boxes using simple connectors and tape.

Bauwerk:Stadt is open to all future designers aged from 8 to 14. Everyone who takes part can construct a stand-alone building or jointly design the “2051 City” as a group.

A project by the Wiener Familienbund [Vienna Family Association] in cooperation with the MAK and the designer duo Célia-Hannes (Célia Picard and Hannes Schreckensberger).

Curators’ Tour through the exhibition Mapping Bucharest: Art, Memory, and Revolution with the curator Bärbel Vischer.
