Final days of HELMUT LANG: SÉANCE DE TRAVAIL 1986–2005! On view for just three more days—through Sunday, 3 May 2026. The exhibition traces how Helmut Lang's (@h_lang_) radical vision in the years 1986–2005 transformed the perception of fashion, identity, and visual communication at a global scale. Working across Vienna, Paris, and New York, Lang rewrote the codes of the international fashion landscape, establishing a distinctive aesthetic vocabulary that shaped not only the way we present ourselves, but also the way identity is conceived and communicated.

At @mak_vienna the ‘Helmut Lang Séance de Travail 1986-2005’ exhibition curated by @marlieswirth is the brand blueprint that fashion has to embrace. This exhibition doesn’t just memorialise the designer. It quietly dares the industry to remember how to mean something again.
On view until 3 May 2026

With Thanks to curator Lara Steinhaeusser @le_truc_qui_fait_rever for giving our own Kenneth Richard a private tour.

Helmut Lang. Séance de Travail 1986-2005 / Excerpts from the MAK Helmut Lang Archive exhibition. @h_lang_@mak_vienna
Helmut Lang’s influence has always operated in a register that feels both understated and unmistakable. Across the years 1986 to 2005, working between Vienna, Paris, and New York, he developed a language that resisted spectacle and questioned the rituals through which identity is constructed, displayed, and consumed. The MAK exhibition “Séance de Travail 1986–2005” built from the museum’s extensive Helmut Lang Archive, donated by the artist in 2011, attempts the first comprehensive reconstruction of this period. Rather than staging a conventional retrospective, the exhibition turns the archive into a thinking system, a way to understand the structures that underpinned Lang’s fashion years and the cultural shifts they set in motion.
Central to this reevaluation is the séance de travail, the working method Lang introduced in 1988. Instead of the classical elevated runway, Lang presented his collections in raw industrial spaces where models, collaborators, and friends moved freely through the environment. The presentations dissolved the boundary between backstage and stage and merged menswear and womenswear in an unfiltered, dynamic rehearsal. At the MAK, these sessions reappear as life-size video installations that restore their physical immediacy. They read not as historical documentation but as experiments in how clothing behaves in relation to space, sound, and real bodies. They serve as reminders that Lang was less concerned with theatrical performance than with presence itself.

The MAK exhibition “Séance de Travail 1986–2005” built from the museum’s extensive Helmut Lang Archive, donated by the artist in 2011, attempts the first comprehensive reconstruction of this period. Rather than staging a conventional retrospective, the exhibition turns the archive into a thinking system, a way to understand the structures that underpinned Lang’s fashion years and the cultural shifts they set in motion.
Central to this reevaluation is the séance de travail, the working method Lang introduced in 1988. Instead of the classical elevated runway, Lang presented his collections in raw industrial spaces where models, collaborators, and friends moved freely through the environment. The presentations dissolved the boundary between backstage and stage and merged menswear and womenswear in an unfiltered, dynamic rehearsal. At the MAK, these sessions reappear as life-size video installations that restore their physical immediacy. They read not as historical documentation but as experiments in how clothing behaves in relation to space, sound, and real bodies. They serve as reminders that Lang was less concerned with theatrical performance than with presence itself.

Helmut Lang. Séance de Travail 1986-2005 / Excerpts from the MAK Helmut Lang Archive exhibition. @h_lang_@mak_vienna
Helmut Lang’s influence has always operated in a register that feels both understated and unmistakable. Across the years 1986 to 2005, working between Vienna, Paris, and New York, he developed a language that resisted spectacle and questioned the rituals through which identity is constructed, displayed, and consumed.
