The current Corona protection regulations apply. Accordingly, wearing an FFP2 mask indoors is mandatory.
The opening talk on the exhibition "ENVELOPES" about the interdisciplinary work of the studio J.MAYER.H. will try to explore the creative relationship between arts and architecture. How do art, design, digital space and architecture influence each other? What defines the expression of form in the space? How do processes of form finding emerge in the interplay of two- and three-dimensionality?
Even the Roman architect, architectural theorist and engineer Vitruvius (1st century BC) called architecture the "mother of all arts". The Latin word "architectura" stands for "building art" and includes the creation of buildings as well as the design of spaces inclusively their surfaces and furnishings. The term "fine arts" includes sculpture, graphics, painting as well as architecture.
On the podium Jürgen Mayer H. will give insights into his work between art, design and architecture. Other guests will be Philip Ursprung, Professor of Art and Architectural History, ETH Zurich, and Andreas Krištof, section.a, Kurator*innen-Kollektiv, Vienna, who will present the work of Graz architect and artist Günther Domenig.

Exhibition
J.MAYER.H is one of the few internationally known contemporary studios successfully working in the areas of architecture, art and design. This exhibition searches for the creative power behind the transdisciplinary work. How do art, design, digital space and architecture influence each other? What shapes the expression of the forms in the space? How do processes of form finding emerge in the interplay of two- and three-dimensionality? For the first time, the HDA is showing an overview of current artistic work in the form of Jürgen Mayer H.’s drawings and collages in dialogue with built projects by the office. Detail and construction drawings of the architecture complement the exhibition installation. Like “sample books” of structures and forms they question the boundaries and similarities of the creative disciplines, each of which pursues its own discourse while increasingly speculating on the transdisciplinary potentials.
