Opening MY ULLMANN

Living Kineticism: Pictures, Performance, Art in Architecture

The MAK presents the first solo exhibition in Austria devoted to co-founder of Kineticism My Ullmann (1905–1995).
Tue, 16.4.2024 7 pm9 pm
MAK – Museum of Applied Arts
Futuristic, colorful, fashionable, idiosyncratic, and aesthetically complex in form and content—such is My Ullmann’s artistic cosmos. Crystal formations and curved lines characterize her extensive oeuvre, influenced by her many sojourns in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and elsewhere. It is an oeuvre that includes graphic design, stage sets, costume design, interior design, wall decorations, and building art, and that in her later career returns to her early kineticist style.
The exhibition and accompanying catalog were realized in collaboration with the Municipal Wessenberg Gallery Constance.
