About the exhibition (until January 18, 2026)
The posters, designed by students from Seoul National University and the University of Applied Arts Vienna, provide food for thought and show ways in which each individual can contribute to reducing global warming and its consequences. Made possible with the kind support of the Korea Kulturzentrum and the Korean Business Association in Austria.
Graphic design and exhibition design:
“Class for Ideas” in Communication Design
Discussion moderator:
Harald Gründl
Designer, design theorist, and curator. He heads the Regenerative Design Lab at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, is co-chair of the Institute of Design Research Vienna, and a partner at EOOS Design.
Ingmar Thies
Sven Ingmar Thies founded Thies Design 24 years ago, has been teaching at the University of Applied Arts Vienna for over 12 years, and is the author of the book “Teaching Graphic Design.” In London, he spent a year learning to work in a structured and efficient manner within hierarchies; in Tokyo, he spent two and a half years learning to communicate with few words; and he always enjoys listening. In his opinion, communication and design require precise language and clear feedback.
___________
Regenerative Design Lab:
The Regenerative Design Lab at the Institute of Design sees itself as an experimental space for artistic research intertwined with design theory. Teaching is offered through the course “Design Revolution Now!” in the form of experimental pedagogy.
Class for Ideas:
The communication class program is called “Conception and Creation.” The class at the University of Applied Arts was founded and is led by Matthias Spaetgens, partner and CCO of the Scholz & Friends Family.
