Location:
Vienna, Austria

Open Discourse Lab 1
On contemporary positions in fine arts

Depot, 1070 Vienna, 3, Breite Gasse
Tuesday, 06-10-15, 7 PM

The first lab sparks the discourse of contemporary roles of so-called fine arts. After decades of conceptualization and, associated therewith, claims of processualization of fine art production through to aspirations for self-organizing logical processes, questions regarding contemporary options for artistic interventions in societal processes arise.

Speakers:
Olivia Kaiser, painter
Margit Nobis, fine artist
Alexandra Reill, concept and video artist

Moderation:
Christian Stefaner-Schmid, concept artist and media theorist

Circles is a Panel series reflecting in six weekly Open Labs the meta-questions 'What does art want today; what does the contemporary artist want today? Relevances of artistic work in contemporary societies'.

Concept: Alexandra Reill
Technical coordination: Peter Koger

Production

CLOUDS IN THE SHARK POOL


Dates:
Tue Sep 30, 2014 19:00 - Wed Oct 01, 2014

Location:
Vienna, Austria

An artistic barcamp on the societal role of artists
between the poles of cooperation and competition


In form of a generative performance CLOUDS IN THE SHARK POOL reflects the role of the artist as a medium between the poles of cooperation and competition – an antagonism forming one of the main pillars of onholding scientific discussion. Where do we stand today? In the process of humans and media growing together more and more one can divine a medialization of identity, thus a synchronization of individuality. As a consequence, the question needs to be posed whether not only information itself is a medium but whether the artist her-/himself – thus, humans themselves – is nothing but a medium.

STRANGE FLOWERS SPLASH or ONLY THE CAT HAS NINE LIVES


Dates:
Wed Sep 18, 2013 20:00 - Wed Sep 18, 2013

Location:
Vienna, Austria

Featuring:
Florentin Groll / Susanne Gschwendtner / Tina Muliar /

STRANGE FLOWERS SPLASH or ONLY THE CAT HAS NINE LIVES researches personal mechanisms of mystification existing as a result of brachial or perfidious denial of violence in society. Human sovereignty creating access to freedom of decision – fought for by Sylvia, Georgine and Albrecht chafing against each other in a passionate ménage à trois full of fatal attraction – becomes the starting point for reflections on the relevance of the moment of cutting or stepping through the mirror – an act which is repeated until the deceptive self-image bursts and which becomes the driving force in a process of personal development, eventually turning into that moment where manipulative mystification ends and the perspective of collective reality perceived from beyond individual disposition emerges.

Live Sound: Arthur Denisson / eargazm /
Live Video: Peter Koger
Video Editing: Nikita Lauth / Alexandra Reill /
Docu Camera: Georg Eisnecker / Sascha Osaka /

Concept / mise-en-scéne: Alexandra Reill /

In Vienna 1938-1945, the buildings No 4 and 6, Nelkengasse represent a particularly tragic location in the 6th district of Vienna - Mariahilf. In these houses, a high number of so-called Sammelwohnungen were installed - group flats where many Jews had to move to after eviction from their homes. From here, 31 people were deported to the concentration camps Kielce, Litzmannstadt/Lodz, Kowno, Maly Trostinec, and Auschwitz and murdered there.[1] Heinz Moldau and his family lived in 6, Nelkengasse; the father ran a well-reputed leather goods factory in 26, Westbahnstraße. The factory was aryanized, and the family - Heinz Moldau then a boy of sixteen years - had to flee from Vienna. In the interviews, Heinz Moldau talks about his family, the threats from the Nazis, the aryanization of the leather goods factory and the flight from Vienna.

From 6, Nelkengasse 14 people werde deported and murdered.
