At this year’s Long Night of Museums, exciting insights into our exhibitions and a comprehensive workshop program for children and young people await you in the MAK. The MISSING LINK exhibition is all about architecture. The architecture group Missing Link, founded in 1970 by Angela Hareiter, Otto Kapfinger, and Adolf Krischanitz, is one of the most important phenomena of the 1970s Austrian avant-garde art and architecture scene. In cross-border and interdisciplinary projects, the group sought for the missing links between humanity, architecture, urbanism, art, and social fabric, extending architecture’s repertoire through new experimental concepts. In the exhibition SHOWROOM WIENER WERKSTÄTTE, contemporary artist and designer Michael Anastassiades takes a close look at the many and varied products of the Wiener Werkstätte, to include furniture, textiles, carpets, and metal objects. In the MAK Design Lab, exciting cross-links between the two current exhibitions are waiting to be discovered. In addition you can learn the many ways in which design can contribute to positive change. The workshops for children and young people deal with the two exhibitions’ themes in ways appropriate to this age group, providing opportunities for hands-on activities. Digital MAK GuideListen to the MAK!Audio recordings and high-resolution images create an entirely new experience of 100 fascinating MAK objects and their stories.
