ActivAge
Thoughts / ideas about aging
Designschool Vienna and Grüne Galerie 7 Vienna

At present, many societies are no longer shaped by births but by deaths. However, age is more than ever a taboo topic. In 2050 - projections predict - half the population in most European countries will be more than 51 years old. 100-year-olds have long ceased to be a myth.
The exhibition project ActivAge sheds light on old age and ageing from a wide variety of perspectives. It deals with young aging, self-confident aging, and the long, mentally alert, physically fit aging. A number of artists from the fields of photography, video, installation and performance are invited to deal with the topic from a variety of perspectives.
The aim of the project is to create a kaleidoscope of works through a dialogue between the invited artists, which counteracts conventional ideas and breaks down clichés, but above all, makes people reflect and perhaps even makes them curious about getting older.
