TIME(LESS) SIGNS
Otto Neurath and Reflections in Austrian Contemporary Art
Tuesday 30 September 2014, 6.30pm | Austrian Cultural Forum London
The exhibition continues until Friday 9 January 2015
What is the state of art in today’s visual language? Signs, icons and ideograms determine our daily communication; pictographic guidance systems dominate public space. Much of what we understand as visual language originates in Otto Neurath’s Vienna Method of Pictorial Statistics, later known as ISOTYPE (International System of Typographic Picture Education).
The exhibition presents various artistic strategies for using pictograms and pictorial statistics to visualise political, social, global or purely individual agendas. Original works by social economist and Vienna Circle philosopher Neurath (1882 Vienna – 1945 Oxford) will feature alongside contemporary pieces.

Contemporary Art in Reference to Otto Neurath

Opening: Wednesday,12.12.2012, 7 p.m.
Pictograms, icons and apps, ... analog and digital signs determine our daily communication, visual guidance systems dominate public space. The most recent political revolutions have also relied on universally understandable pictograms. That which is state of the art in today’s media originates from Otto Neurath’s system of visualization: ISOTYPE (International System of Typographic Picture Education).
Otto Neurath: “The common citizen should without limitation be able to obtain information about all matters of interest ...”
Neurath, who?
Few contemporary users or designers of pictograms are aware of their historical roots – the method of picture education and pictorial statistics created by the Austrian social economist and philosopher Otto Neurath (b. 10. Dec.1882 in Vienna, d. 22. Dec.1945 in Oxford) and his German-born graphic artist Gerd Arntz (1900–1988).
The year 2012 commemorates the 130th anniversary of Otto Neurath’s birth. On this momentous occasion, art historian Maria Christine Holter and artist Barbara Höller are curating an exhibition investigating the significance of Neurath’s pictorial ideas for visual arts at present and for global communication. The show will focus on various strategies for using pictograms and pictorial statistic in realizing communicational aims, particularly in the clear and powerful visualization of political, social, global or purely individual agendas.
