As part of the
festival,
the University of Applied Arts Vienna will present final-year projects and a diverse range of projects from the fields of
art, design and research in curated exhibitions from 1 July to 4 July 2026.
Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz
will be closed to traffic – for the four days of the festival, it will become a gathering place, a meeting point for guided
tours, a stage and an exhibition venue. With
unfinished business, a multifaceted intervention by the Department of
Language Art, a space composed of language and speech is created there. Who speaks to whom? And to whom not? What worlds underpin
the show? The square, as a place of gathering, can be static, can serve as a symbol – or we can keep it unfinished: a space
that emerges through dialogue. A space composed of language and speech.
The festival offers an insight into current
debates in the fields of art, design, architecture and society. A multidisciplinary programme ties in with the exhibitions
and demonstrates how the University of Applied Arts provides cross-disciplinary impetus to society.
