Last week, a little dream of mine came true: I hosted my first talk together with @ymak_vienna at the @mak_vienna Vienna. Together with Rainald Franz, curator and Hoffmann expert at the MAK, we discussed the topic of my masters dissertation on The Aesthetics of Politics and Its Spatial Legacy in Architecture.

In light of rising nationalist aspirations in Europe, and particularly in the Biennale’s host country of Italy, we explored how the aesthetics of fascist and austrofascist ideologies influenced the Biennale’s various pavilions. We focused particularly on the 20th century transformation of the Austrian and Italian pavilion and the crucial role played by architects Josef Hoffmann and Carlo Scarpa.

In an open discussion, we questioned how to deal critically with this unique politico-cultural legacy and the continued relevance of these buildings to the current political landscape.

A big thank you to everyone who came along and made this evening so special!

Thanks also to @lobmeyr for providing us with their wineglasses ‚Patrician‘, designed by Josef Hoffmann in 1917 and @weingut_zum_pranger for their delicious natural white wine.
