The exhibition curated by Anouk Wipprecht features garments that combine fashion and technology while expanding the possibilities of contemporary fashion design. These smart textiles are equipped with electronic components such as sensors and LEDs or are made out of innovative and futuristic materials. The interactive engineering of the pieces in the exhibition gives visitors a chance to experience haute tech couture first hand.
Performances, lectures, workshops for kids and teens, as well as a symposium are part of the extensive program accompanying the exhibition organized in collaboration with monochrom, TONSPUR für einen öffentlichen Raum, the youth organization Bund Europäischer Jugend/Junge Europäische Föderalisten (BEJ/JEF), the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Stage design students from the University Mozarteum Salzburg are responsible for the exhibition design.
The exhibition is part of the quartier21 exhibition series freiraum quartier21 INTERNATIONAL in cooperation with the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs, the Dutch Embassy in Austria, the Mondriaan Foundation (NL), and other partners from Austria and abroad.
