The department of Artistic Strategies with Art x Science School for Transformation / University of Applied Arts Vienna – Sedentarily obsessed – sedated on the edge of our seat

Places to rest, tools of work and production, partitions of space, sockets of authority or silent obedience.
How do they mold our bodies, our culture?
Take a seat and watch, as students of the BA program Transformation Studies. Art x Science dissect these antagonisms – using their own bodies to examine the sediment that our sedentary society is built upon – in a series of performances.

Timetable:

14:00 | Open studios / Open doors

15:00–18:00 | Performance series

18:00–20:00 | Finish with drinks

Accessibility
Parts of the project takes place in rehearsal rooms on the 1st floor. They are only accessible via a staircase. There is no elevator available. A barrier-free toilet is located on the ground floor.
