Hardly another material is so omnipresent in our everyday lives than plastic. The term covers a number of different synthetic materials, with the basic substance composed to a large degree of petroleum. Due to its special properties, plastic has become a pivotal material in our consumerist culture: it is inexpensive to produce, easy to shape into a wide variety of forms and available almost globally. The KunstHausWien, a museum of the Wien Holding, is dedicating an exhibition to the much-discussed material in the Project Room Garage.
