wn. “TECHNOSENSUAL. where fashion meets technology” proves that intelligent fashion has long gone beyond being a vision of the future. The designers and artists participating in the exhibition (some of them staying at the MuseumsQuartier as artists-in-residence) predominantly come from the Netherlands. Their designs, prototypes, and collections move in a creative triangular constellation involving fashion, human beings, and machines. The use of modern technologies expands these contemporary designs – not only optically, but also in terms of function. TECHNOSENSUAL is an interactive exhibition accompanied by lectures, performances, and workshops and represents a highlight of the Summer of Fashion at the MQ, a complex-wide program dedicated to the various aspects of fashion from June to September. Fashion exhibitions in the summer are already a tradition at freiraum quartier21 INTERNATIONAL. In this, the tenth exhibition since the inception of the series, you can experience how much of the future (of fashion) is happening in the here and now. The exhibition is part of the quartier21 exhibition series freiraum quartier21 INTERNATIONAL in cooperation with the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs, the Dutch Embassy in Austria, the Mondriaan Foundation (NL), and other partners from Austria and abroad. where fashion meets technology Jun 15-Sep 2, daily, 10:00-19:00, free admission.
