The artists engaged in minimalist, reduced aesthetics - from Josef Albers' time as a lecturer at the Bauhaus in the 1920s through to contemporary positions, from Franz Erhard Walther and Heimo Zobernig through to Andrea Zittel and Leonor Antunes - have always worked on the transfer of their rigorous artistic concepts to the applied arts.

These 'transfers' can be practically applicable but might as well just ask for an imaginative, associative and playful 'use'.

Approaching the theme from the perspective of the collection's history, the exhibition aims at encouraging a dialogue between the developments in the areas as an open dialogue.
