public installation
The travelling installation showcases the correlation between poverty and learning for children in Hungary. The work was created and displayed in the context of a campaign by the Association for Democratic Youth of Hungary. 25% of children in Hungary are living under poor conditions. In the homes of 170.000 children there are no toilets, while 200.000 children live in unlit flats. It is impossible for them to learn and do their homework in these conditions. The public education system seems to forsake the future of these young people. The goal of Learning Room is to raise awareness of the needs of these children, in order to stop the process of their marginalization. The public installation is part of an action campaign with the goal of explaining in an interactive way, that poverty is the source of dysfunctional development in children, and aims to mobilize citizens to change the situation.

Giardino in Campo One week workshop to design and realise the garden of Castello Chiaramonte. The Wild Kitchen Garden received the Agritecture & Landscape Award in 2015.
town parade, garden opening
We kidnapped an iconic sculpture from Sette Cortelli, a gallery connected to Castello Chiaramonte, a few days before the opening of the newly landscaped garden. The Pink Snail was one of many similar sculptures to be produced by the international artistic collective Cracking Art Group. The snail (‘babalucio’ in Sicilian) symbolized the rhythm of the workshop as well as the life in Sicily. With the appropriation of the mass-produced artwork, our intention was to give it a local identity and create a more personal connection between the artpiece and the people of Favara. After Babalucio made a speech at the opening ceremony, we organised a procession through Favara to bring it back to its former resting place in Sette Cortelli. Babalucism is a lifestyle. A Philosophical Path. Both physical and spiritual. The backpack on the shoulder, house on the back, that is the physical part. The philosophy is simple, the key is: no stress, do best. Never be scared of going slowly, looking around, and taking the time to let the environment influence you. EAT!

MusikRaumGarage is part of the project KunstRaumGarage, which was initiated by WiPARK in cooperation with departure (Bettina Leidl) and University of Applied Arts Vienna (Barbara Putz-Plecko). It is curated by Barbara Holub, and takes place in Garage Freyung and in Votivpark-Garage.
livestream concerts from an underground parking lot
MusikRaumGarage is a public rehearsal room on level -3 of WIPARK Garage Freyung, Vienna. Every Tuesday, musicians of various genres give a performance situated between concert and rehearsal, which can be followed via livestream or viewed later from the archive. The concept elaborated by Dilruba Erkan and Péter Oroszlány originates from the idea of using family garages as rehearsal rooms. Re-using the idea of the garage as an off-space for creative activity, MusikRaumGarage gives musicians access to experiment with the particular sound qualities of an underground parking lot. The raw acoustics of the concrete halls complemented by the sound of passing cars defines the unique qualities of the performance space. Between September 2015 and June 2016 – after the project was established – it was lead by Stéphane Clor (musical direction) and Péter Oroszlány (art direction). During this period over 30 performances were organized. In the first 6 months the performances were curated by well known musicians from Vienna. Later, MusikRaumGarage organized an open call to give the chance of experimenting with the space to all interested performers.

Besides the outstanding musical experiences, MusikRaumGarage recorded an album for the Friendly Guitar Trio and hosted the first Kino am Naschmarkt offspace, as well as the premier of ‘Light-speaker’ by SoniLumatrice and Denny Lightray. As a final performance we transformed a car into a musical instrument.

The briefing of the open call from WiPark Garagen Freyung was to create an orientation system in the underground parking lot. Kommunikations RaumGaragen Open Call 2nd Prize
The orientation system is designed around a realistic life-size model of a whale, positioned vertically and cutting down through the five levels of the garage. To fill the entire 15m height of the garage, a 6-7 year old blue whale was chosen to be represented. The sculpture is not only creating a landmark for the garage, but also for the city of Vienna. The signage of the orientation system is playing with the depth of an underwater-

installation
Wien Fluss is floating from Wiener Wald down into the Donau Kanal. After a flood in 1862 the river was regulated, and later covered over between Pilgramgasse and Stadtpark. Wien Fluss used to be a frequented by ‘strotter’, the ones who collect garbage and bones from the water in order to produce soap. Nowadays it is not possible to access the lower part legally, but the tunnel that connects Stadtpark and Naschmarkt is still a popular space for urban investigators. By using the light that dripped down from the drains above us, we installed a camera obscura which projected an image of the streets on to a 9m2 canvas.

performative installation
„The Great Transfer“ was a project by students of Social Design. In the summer semester 2015, we were invited to contribute to the cultural programme „Culture First“ by the Forum Alpbach . „The Great Transfer“ is concerned with the borders of visibility and audibility. Placed in the center of the Forum Alpbach, there is a „cone“ constructed as an inner court yard, which was the location for this performative installation. The students tried to communicate from their stage, but struggled to be heard. Everyday, they were reading out a memory sequence from a refugee, describing the places he or she had had to leave behind, their houses, and their conceptions of home. These stories were then inscribed into the pebbles that line the floor of the coned atrium; word by word, stone by stone. What was left at the end of this 12 - day intervention was only visible if you looked close enough. On 3rd September 2015, the group gave the opening speech at the Built Environment Symposium. At this event, the stories were recited in a polylogue conversation, where they could be heard at clear volume for the first time.

Politics of Fear collective were inspired by the book of Austrian sociolinguist Ruth Wodak titled “The Politics of Fear” (2015), and followed the aftermath of the incidents that occurred on New Year’s Eve 2015 in Cologne – including its media reactions, the so-called refugee crisis, the fear entrepreneurs, and the affiliated rise of right-wing parties in Europe. In her book Ruth Wodak analyzes the linguistic strategies employed by right-wing populist parties and shows how they seek to foment fear through the deliberate use of disinformation, falsehoods and fantasised threats. While varietal right-wing populist parties differ depending on their historical and sociopolitical contexts, there is a recognisable pattern in the propaganda methods used. The project “Re-Negotiating Politics of Fear in Public Spaces” aims at exploring notions of fear by facilitating a public discussion by means of art and design interventions in public space. The objective is to investigate the media’s role in the construction of fear and to negotiate and visualize the fears and hopes of people through artistic means, in order to challenge right-wing supremacy and their tactical play with people’s concerns for the future.

participatory intervention
The rhetoric of “Politics of Fear” is constructing imaginary walls between “us” (the “natives”) and “them” (the “outsiders”). At the same time very real walls are constructed on the borders inside and outside Europe too. POF decided to implement a barbed wire fence to make a clear reference to the newly built borders inside and outside of Europe, and used it as a display mechanism for the collected fears and hopes for Austria and Europe in general; to make the “invisible” walls visible. The intervention at TBA21 (Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary) in Vienna attempted to probe the public space with a physical installation, as well as provoke a public reaction with an open invitation: “Früchte für Gedanken” (literally meaning; “fruit for thoughts”). A variety of fruits were laid out on picnic tables, which broke through a gap in the barbed wire fence. The fence was stretched out to a length of fifteen meters and used as a symbol for borders. People could sit down on either side of the fence and share their fears and hopes with the research team. Participants expressed their fears by writing on papers and mounting these into the fence’s framework to be readily accessible and discussed upon by others. A crucial aspect of the intervention was that the research group were actively listening to the participants. That is to say, the intervention was both playful and at the same time thoughtprovoking, creating a low-threshold methodology for people to engage with their fears and discuss them visually with other participants.

Politics of Fear Notice of Fear Inspection
public intervention
when 15 –19.08.2016
Our ‘Notice of Fear Inspection’ action was inspired by baggage inspection notices that are sometimes found in suitcases which have gone through the custom control of certain airports. When a baggage is deemed suspicious, the authorities at border control may open and inspect the baggage without the consent or even presence of the property owner. A note of the inspection is left in the suitcase, explaining the procedure and emphasizing the importance thereof. This experience causes the owner of the baggage not only to question their contribution towards the invasion of privacy but, it also contributes towards the cycle of fear creation as it assumes that there is a threat that needs to be taken control of. Using the baggage inspection notice dealt out by the Department of Homeland Security (United States of America) as starting point, we designed the ‘Notice of Fear Inspection’ leaflets (see below). The conference similar to an airport in the sense that participants come from all over the world, and for a short period we would all be sharing the same space. The idea thus, was to place leaflets in the bags of as many conference participants as we could. This was done discreetly, so that the owner of the bag would find it later stimulating a similar experience to that of authoritative control but in the same vain we tried to be respectful to the privacy of the participants. The information of the flyer also led the suspicious carrier of fear to our blog, where they could find further information and contact us.

We managed to pass out a number of notices at the conference and beyond it borders on the streets of Aarhus.

Due to the controversial method and our half-incognito it was hard to get face to face feedbacks, but several times we could catch some conversations about the fear inspection cards. It definitely raised attention on the topic – and on our project.

Die Abteilung „Social Design_Arts as Urban Innovation“ reagiert auf ein Menschenrecht: den Gang zur Toilette. In den weitläu gen Ausstellungsräumlichkeiten der Alten Post stehen keine ausreichenden WCAnlagen zur Verfügung. Frauen wie Männer könnten ihren Bedürfnissen – wenn überhaupt – nur unter schwierigen Bedingungen nachkommen. Mit unterschiedlichen wasserlosen ToilettenSystemen (von der Katzenstreu bis zur PolymerVerfestigung) werden – als Serviceleistung – auch Informationen zur Verfügung gestellt, die zeigen, dass Toiletten in städtischen Räumen längst nicht uneingeschränkt zur Verfügung stehen. Die hauseigenen 00 Kabinen wurden übrigens im jetzt nicht zugänglichen 3. Stock abgebaut. Wir fordern, dass ein Gang aufs Klo frei und kostenlos ist! Im entlastenden Rahmen der Installation liegen die Social-Design- Fanzines #2 und #3 über die Projekte des Studios auf – zur freien Entnahme. Eine Bar befördert die kommunikativen Prozesse. Das mobile Café „VoZo“ wurde in der ehemaligen Flüchtlingsunterkunft Vordere Zollamtsstraße 7 von BewohnerInnen des Hauses, Social Design Studierenden und Alumni und vielen anderen Engagierten betrieben.
