Lill Tschudi – Franz Čižek. A delightful sort of game explores relationships between artistic practice and teaching in the 20th century by bringing two figures in dialogue. The pivot of the exhibition is the graphical work of Swiss artist Lill Tschudi (1911–2004), which is shown for the first time in Austria as part of a cooperation between the Angewandte and the Graphische Sammlung ETH Zurich. This monographic perspective is furthermore expanded by exploring the relationship of Tschudi’s works to selected holdings from the collection of the University of Applied Arts Vienna that document the reform pedagogy of artist Franz Čižek (1865–1946).
The exhibition relates to the show Lill Tschudi. The Excitement of the Linocut 1930–1950, which was on view at the Graphische Sammlung ETH Zurich in 2021–22.
