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
