Together with nine other European museums, the concept for a multilingual and interactive online platform was developed. The digital platform is available since February 18th onward at www.throwaway-history.eu. It features object biographies of more than seventy digitized objects from the participating museums, audiovisual stories from across the EU about waste, as well as blogposts, photo reports, live-streamed events, and podcasts on a wide range of activities and events.
In addition, the Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art is contributing to the exhibition Throwaway – The history of a modern crisis which will be on view at the House of European History in Brussels from February 18th 2023 through January 15th 2024. The exhibition addresses the shortages of wartime, the swelling tide of waste in the post-war consumer society, and finally the barely manageable waste crisis of today.
The Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art is represented with seven object biographies and three audiovisual stories realized by the Viennese filmmaker Mike Kren on the platform as well as with a loan object at the exhibition in Brussels. The objects, which entered the museums collection in the period between 1896 and 2022, show past as well as current thematic focuses. The objects include “bone animals“ made from slaughterhouse waste; a plate repaired by “rastelbinder” (wire binding); a pair of leather trousers of a goatherd that is badly worn and has been mended several times; an artwork made from remnants of mementos of the terror night of 2020; flotsam collected in 2017 in the context of the great flight movements on the Greek coast; an embroidered skirt trim that shows traces of pest infestation; and last but not least over 5,300 ceramic and clay shards and fragments that came to the museum between 1948 and 1955, inventoried and stored in almost one hundred boxes in the depot and waiting for their museological use.
