Opening: Exhibit - diverse Ausstellungspraxen

Around 1990, the academic exhibition program at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna saw a significant upheaval closely tied to the progressive, forward-looking Institut für Gegenwartskunst (Institute for Contemporary Art). Out of this context emerged a new approach of exhibiting that was critical, resistant and characterised by performative practices. This was also the period of rebellion against the professors who ran the master classes and autocratically dictated exhibition practice within the academy. Drawing on selected examples from around 1990, the show examines exhibition strategies that relate to arts education into the present day with a focus on autonomous projects by students.
