Art-to-wear exhibition tip in Vienna: Jewelry and fashion as wearable art by Eva Petric at Galerie V&V
Fashion.at arrived at the gallery with the bicycle earlier than expected (the bicycle is the fastest means of transportation in the city) and just in time for the pre-opening video screening of 'Holes in Light,' which presents statistical data on environmental damage over the decades with footage of a satellite on Earth overlaid with images of Petric's signature 'Earthlings,' a shadow of the artist that appears as a genome-like structured lace figure. The Earthlings are also incorporated into most of the art-fashion pieces in the Art-To-Wear-Aktion collection...

Fashion.at travelog: Empress Elisabeth's bachelorette dress with Arabic lettering is one of the highlights of the Imperial Weddings exhibition at Prince Eugen's former hunting lodge, Schloss Niederweiden
Fashion.at is an annual visitor to Schloss Hof and Schloss Niederweiden in Lower Austria. Both baroque palaces have a long history with prominent owners such as Prince Eugen and Maria Theresia of Austria (mother of Marie Antoinette). Today, they are part of the Schönbrunn Group of estates, named after the largest and most profitable. Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, a magnificent building in the style of Versailles, is a tourist magnet. Schloss Niederweiden, Prince Eugen's hunting lodge, is almost down-to-earth compared to the prominent palace in Vienna. Niederweiden is not overrun by tourists. It's a gem known to connoisseurs, especially those interested in relatively well-curated historical exhibitions of artifacts that showcase examples of fashion taste & craft, such as couture treasures...

Climate strategies of the MQ MuseumsQuartier Vienna developed as synergy of landscape architecture, technologies, art, science with reference to the New European Bauhaus
The MQ is one of the largest cultural areas in Europe. Regular visitors will have noticed that there is literally 'something in the bush' (a German saying meaning that something is cooking). The inner courtyard has been transformed into a kind of plant-art sculpture garden, and if you walk near the lawn in front of the MQ, the scent of a lush meadow is likely to lead your eyes to the field of wild plants. Yesterday, the MQ released the report on the first year of projects and efforts to make the cultural area climate-neutral and the plans to achieve this by 2030...

Not all of the wasteful projects selected for Greenpeace's voting '9 Concrete Treasures in Austria' look ugly; in some cases, a small change in the use of valuable land could turn them into beauties
It's not easy to decide which of the five ugly places in each of Austria's nine federal states should get a vote for Greenpeace's 'Austria's 9 Concrete Treasures'. Especially since not all projects are ugly.
Some projects are definitely ugly such as the Schwarzenbergplatz in Vienna, which can heat up to almost 50 degrees Celsius due to the concrete covering of a relatively large area that used to be less extensive with more open green and flower fields. But there are also projects that don't look ugly and where a small change can make all the difference...

The Austrian Youth Monitor study shows that despite social inequalities, the negative effects of inflation have one thing in common among young people: restricted leisure activities
Money rules the world, and even in Austria, a country committed to social justice, the young population (16-29 years old) is divided when it comes to opportunities for a good life, access to education and actively designing the future. The latest study of the Chamber for Workers and Employees shows that even if the young population is increasingly divided, there is one negative impact that even the wealthier have experienced in recent months. Overall, the most widespread impact is on leisure time: 59% of young people have had to cut back on going out, paying for leisure activities and/or vacations in the last twelve months. One of the questions in the survey was about fashion...
