From Wednesday 1 to Saturday 4 July 2026, the University of Applied
Arts Vienna will present final-year projects spanning a wide range of art and research in curated exhibitions.
A multidisciplinary programme ties in with the exhibitions
and demonstrates how the University of Applied Arts Vienna brings interdisciplinary ideas to society. Under the title unfinished business, students from the Institute
for Language Art are dedicating themselves this year at Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz
to the linguistic exploration of what is missing: Who speaks to whom? And to whom not? Which worlds sustain the show? The
square as a place of assembly can be static, representational, or we can keep it unfinished: a place that emerges through
dialogue.
