Monika Platzer (Head of Collection and Curator, Architekturzentrum Wien) in conversation with Stefanie Kitzberger and Robert Müller, in the context of the exhibition “Lill Tschudi – Franz Čižek. A delightful sort of game”.

The exhibition Lill Tschudi – Franz Čižek. A delightful sort of game explores the relationship between artistic practice and teaching in the 20th century by placing two figures in dialog in a special way. At the center of the compilation is the printmaking work of Swiss artist Lill Tschudi (1911-2004), which is being shown in Austria for the first time as part of a collaboration between the Angewandte and the Graphische Sammlung ETH Zürich. The Vienna show expands this monographic perspective by examining the connections between Tschudi’s works and the holdings of the art collection and archive, which document the reform pedagogy of the artist Franz Čižek (1865-1946), who taught in Vienna.
