DO ARCHITECTS DANCE?
SITUATIONAL AND PERFORMATIVE INTERVENTION
Tuesday, 26 May 2026, 12:00-14:00.
Duration: 40 min.
Artists: KollektivKLAUS (AT/INTL). Sound: Julian Siffert (AT).
Karlsplatz, Vienna.
KollektivKLAUS investigate the interface of built and lived environment within Vienna’s iconic Karlsplatz.
Engaging in a dialogue with the monumental architecture of Karlskirche, the Vienna Museum’s new building, and the classical, modern, and postmodern university buildings of TU Wien, architectural space is perceived as an active partner of formal reflection rather than merely a backdrop. The dancers of KollektivKLAUS use their bodies as sensory organs – as instruments of measurement and scale – to bring the geometries of urban planning into human reach.
Curator: Lona Gaikis (DE/CAN).
Funded by the Federal Ministry for Housing, Arts, Culture, Media and Sport (BMWKMS) and MA7 Culture of the City of Vienna.
