Blurring the Boundaries

Current trends, whether in art or the design scene, are tending towards an increasing blurring of earlier boundaries. What factors are encouraging this development, what does this trend mean for both genres? Nicolaus Schafhausen, director of the Kunsthalle Wien, discusses this and other issues with the artist Edith Dekyndt and Carla Rumler, cultural director of Swarovski.
This special exhibition also includes pieces from past collaborations between designers and Swarovski and will be shown throughout the entire VIENNA DESIGN WEEK, with works by Arik Levy, Fredrikson & Stallard, Edith Dekyndt and more.
