BOLD AND FREE!

The Invasion of Hidden Objects

Tue, 08.12.2020–Sun, 06.06.2021

MAK – Museum of Applied Arts

The MAK invites to a special journey of discovery in these extraordinary times. To date rarely or never shown special features from the collection and hidden depot treasures will be staged for a short time in the rooms of the MAK Permanent Collection by the design duo mischer’traxler, together with the curator Janina Falkner. Employees who have been involved with the collection objects for years, primarily curators, but also collection employees, restorers, art educators, and the directors, have selected more than 100 masterpieces that have to date been hidden, but are very much worth seeing. 

The objects press into already assigned areas in cheeky gestures, butt in and demand new latitude. Unexpected associations, humorous constellations, and paradox scenarios arise from this spontaneously curated advent of things. 
Following the restructuring of the MAK DESIGN LAB, BOLD AND FREE! The Invasion of Hidden Objects is the second cooperation with the internationally successful design studio mischer’traxler. Creative approaches to masterpieces of applied arts once again convey the diversity of the MAK Collection in an unconventional and imaginative way.
