Banz inspires as a new boss: pants exhibition in the World Museum!
Weltmuseum, Österreich - The new head of the World Museum,
A central concern Banz 'is to check the permanent exhibition and to complement the lack of perspectives with the cooperation with international origin companies and local actors. New formats, such as the "material Lab", should illuminate the political dimension of materials in art. In order to negotiate the big questions of our time, the new management relies on innovative topics and formats. Particularly noteworthy is the planned "Contemporary" rail, which addresses contemporary art and new media. Here a focus is on neo-colonialism and identity, which is of great relevance in today's globalized society. Another highlight is the current exhibition on pants that extends over five halls. This exhibition deals with numerous aspects, including fashion, materials science as well as power struggles and mass consumption. Visitors can expect a comprehensive presentation that ranges from the etymological derivation of the pants to patterns and models from different cultures. The reconstruction of the oldest known pants from the Bronze Age in China, which is around 3,000 years old, is particularly remarkable. In addition, the last uniform trousers are exhibited by Emperor Franz Joseph, whom he wore on the day of his death. The topics of the exhibition not only take a look at the development of the pants as a symbol of masculine, but also address the role of pants in the emancipation of women. Environmental problems associated with the fashion industry are also considered, especially in the context of the "Fast Fashion". The highlight of the exhibition is a selfie station and designs of young designers who deal with trousers of the 21st century. These initiatives of the World Museum reflect the complex relationships between cultural identity and global challenges, which also play a role in the art of the 21st century. The subsequent discussions on migration, colonialism and identity are in line with current social debates. According to das-wissen.de , the art of the 21st century is dynamic and reflects a variety of forms of expression that are shaped by technology and cultural exchange. From October 22, 2023, the special exhibition "The colors of the earth" on Mexico's textile art will also be shown, which further underlines the Banz's Banz initiative for a diverse and interactive design of the World Museum.
