EVENT LANGUAGE: GERMAN & AND AUSTRIAN SIGN LANGUAGE
The term “time” appears in many contexts in our everyday lives. We can measure time and stop it, we can have it or not have it or even sleep through it or kill it. We can appreciate and enjoy time – but can we also see it?
The visualization of time in art is a fascinating theme that runs through different eras and styles. Especially at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, characterized by many innovations and upheavals, images of the past, present and future collided.
In the ‘Vienna 1900. Birth of Modernism’ collection, the tour leads from historicism with mythological and academic connections to impressionist snapshots. In Art Nouveau, the present is questioned through symbolist themes and in Expressionism, emotional expression and atmospheric landscapes become images of transience and change. The artists used various concepts to depict the fleeting and often elusive nature of time.
With sign language interpreters, we see and experience the dimensions of time in the paintings of Makart, Canon, Klimt, Schiele and Kokoschka and discover the timeless beauty of art.
