Angewandte Performance Lab (APL)
during ANGEWANDTE FESTIVAL 2025
Vienna, June 2025
(Under guidance? of ) Peter Kozek and Timothy Nouzak this years Students of the Angewandte Performance Laboratory (APL) activated two site-specific interventions: The “Projektraum k48” & the “MQ - Museumsquartier Wien”.
Focusing on the intersection of public space, tacit perception, and performative research the students explored the invisible architectures and social dynamics within the urban landscape of Vienna.
During a period of 4 days the exhibited works ranged from tacit sound-based explorations to fluid, durational live performance installations and sculptural artworks.
Locations: Projektraum k48, MQ Wien & Neues Haus für Kunst und Wissenschaft (ehem. PSK Postsparkasse)
I. Residual Matters
Sound-Walk @ Project Space k48
Investigating the "invisible architectures" of tacit perception. This segment involved a sound-walk and an on-site performance of students that engaged with the residual traces of the environment.
How we perceive spaces not through their physical boundaries, but through their atmospheric and acoustic residues?
II. Places of (En-)Counter
Performative Installation @ Museumsquartier Wien (MQ) Summer Stage
Students of the Angewandte Performance Lab and the Dept. of Art and Communicative Practice (kkp) of the University of Applied Arts Vienna, organized by Peter Kozek, Lucie Strecker and Timothy Nouzak.

Sitting, observing, and (co-)feeling. The Open Stage—conceived as an open-ended performance format—has become a vibrant social anchor at the Angewandte Performance Lab Studio of the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Now, it finds its ecstatic expansion in the MQ: Moving bodies, a bench by artist Annette Wehrmann – created for the purposeless passing of time at MQ – and a DJ booth. As satellites of the everyday, sculpture and intervention open up dynamic social processes.

III. Places of (En-)Counter
Student Installation @ Neues Haus für Kunst und Wissenschaft (ehem. PSK Postsparkasse)
APL Studio
Within the spaces of the Angewandte Performance Lab various synergies & affinities converge, leaving tacit fragments behind —discarded sculptural prototypes, rehearsal dust, data glitches. All these leftovers are precious indices of a continuously unfolding collective practice. During the Festival, the APL shapeshifts into a performative landscape, revealing how production inscribes itself through what it leaves behind and how these traces quietly sketch alternative futures.
