Ideology can only shatter to pieces on contact with radical subjectivity.
From: René Viénet, Can Dialectics Break Bricks?

The project takes as its point of departure the “first entirely detourned film in the history of cinema”: Can Dialectics Break Bricks? (1973) by René Viénet, which adapts a spectacular film to a radical critique of cultural hegemony. The French word détournement is employed here for stealing, derailing, appropriating, misusing, re-enacting, rather than the specific term of appropriation that has acquired a special aura in an art-historical context, following John Stezaker’s recognition that “appropriation is actually a misleading term, because it suggests mastery.”

EXHIBITION

Mushrooming

Elisabeth Czihak, Catharina Freuis, Markus Guschlbauer, Michael Strasser (A)

EventTeaser:Mushrooming

In der ersten Ausstellung der Fotogalerie Wien 2012 werden unter dem Titel Mushrooming fotografische und installative Arbeiten von vier jungen österreichischen KünstlerInnen gezeigt, die sich mit (Bild)Räumen beschäftigen, in diese eingreifen, sie erweitern, aufbrechen oder neu konstruieren. Durch diese künstlerischen Eingriffe wird der Raum über seine Bestimmung als architektonisches, festes Konstrukt hinaus als „lebendiger“, wandelbarer Raum spürbar. Die Bildresultate haben mitunter skurrilen, surrealen oder auch unheimlichen Charakter; in allen Arbeiten geht es um eine Irritation der üblichen Wahrnehmung von Raum und Architektur bzw. um das Verhältnis von Raum und Mensch.

EXHIBITION

Echo

Installation by Rupert Huber and Judith Saupper

EventTeaser:Echo

In a desolate, overgrown building complex, the sounds and voices echo of those who once lived there. “Echo” unifies the past and the future. Memories become momentary scenarios; visions of the future, the already past – an acoustic and visual journey through space and time.
