In the exhibition UNDERSTANDING – ART & RESEARCH, curated by Gerald Bast, Alexander Damianisch and Barbara Putz-Plecko (Angewandte) 15 projects of artistic research practice, related work by the artistic researcher Margarete Jahrmann and the Angewandte Artistic Research PhD Program are presented -- all approaches challenging our established perspectives. The exhibition will enhance the understanding of possibilities of research through art in new ways and the driving force of inquiry, artistic and scientific activity. The desire and claim to contribute to the transformation of society can be viewed, examined, sensed, discussed and experienced through examples from research and teaching, science and art, design and architecture. The exhibition was newly adapted and designed for the Building Bridges Art Exchange gallery after presentations in New Zealand (Dunedin School of Art) and Singapore (Nanyang Technological University Singapore).
