DESCRIPTION:Vienna took its interiors seriously.  Between 1898
  and 1938\, many of this city’s greatest minds gra
 ppled with how to structure and appoint the inner 
 spaces of everyday life.  The result—the modern ho
 me—would possess an interior that (according to it
 s creators) fitted another\, more impenetrable int
 erior:  the subjective inwardness of the home’s in
 habitants.  Built architecture and psychic sphere\
 , the Viennese interior was a contested matrix of 
 human values. The novelist Hermann Broch portrayed
  fin-de siècle Vienna as a 'value vacuum'. These l
 ectures explore Viennese homemaking as attempts to
  fill that vacuum.\n\nLecture One\, titled 'The Ki
 ss' and focused on the 1902 Beethoven exhibition h
 eld in the Secession building\, pays special atten
 tion to the innovative use of plaster in a new 'ar
 t of space' —what Viennese artists and designers t
 ermed Raumkunst. \n\nLecture Two\, 'The Burning Ch
 ild'\, considers Sigmund Freud’s apartment and off
 ices at Berggasse 19\, the house Ludwig Wittgenste
 in designed for his sister Hermine\, Adolf Loos’s 
 early residential projects\, and the design reform
 s of Josef Frank and Otto Neurath. \n\nThe relevan
 ce of these utopian interiors today—it will be arg
 ued—rests on the condition of Vienna as an unhomel
 y home.  Already before the ruptures of 1918 and 1
 938 buried its imagined future\, this European cap
 ital city had been the rehearsal space for exile. 
  The Viennese interior thus continues poignantly t
 o ask: what is home?   \n\nFor more information\,
