Exhibition: Die Menge der Dinge einer bestimmten Art
As part of a course in the scenography studio at IKA, teachers and students of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna jointly developed a methodology for taking inventory of their own wardrobes.
Eleven participants recorded their entire wardrobes in tabular form and photographically – arranged according to types of clothing and indicating material, colour, origin, condition, age, use, personal reference, including a photo of each individual item. This resulted in the 900-page book Die Menge der Dinge einer bestimmten Art.
This will be exhibited in Exhibit Eschenbachgasse from 24 November to 15 December 2022, and the space will become a walk-in clothing inventory:
In personal conversations with staff and students of the Academy of Fine Arts, clothing loans from their private wardrobes will be inventoried on site.
Through the jointly installed objects, the room develops into a temporary wardrobe.
