Regular Wednesday #3
CLUB kex—The Talkshow, Host:Peter Kozek and Georgia Holz
With Carola Dertnig/Stephanie Seibold, Andrea Gunnlaugsdottir, Gelitin, Mara Mattuschka, Denis Palmeri, Suchart Wannaset
CLUB kex— is a talk show format hosted by Peter Kozek and Georgia Holz. It invites artists from different generations of the Viennese performance scene to take to the stage. We focus on the reciprocal influences and relationships between artists (biographies) and art spaces: Which potentials arise for self-empowerment and emancipation from collective historiography and how is knowledge collaboratively produced and transmitted? Similarly, the audience in the hall is welcome to join in the discussion with their own questions or statements, and naturally, a healthy dose of gossip is always welcome. “Characters” or alter egos who have already made an appearance in kex— are also invited to return; various contributions will be projected or performed anew.
The collective experiment permanent temporär evolves out of a series of invitations and events with different formats – the Regular Wednesdays – which then culminate in an exhibition whose opening will only take place at the end of the process.
The four thematic fields include space and resources, voids or the (seemingly) absent, programming and participation strategies, and the contradictions between the permanently new and ever-temporary. The project departs from artists’ biographies and the transformations of cultural institutions and concepts of art in recent decades in Vienna and beyond.
Artists and curators Peter Kozek, Munira Mohamud, Francis Ruyter, and Johanna Tinzl were invited to develop and host events, discussion rounds, or other formats as Regular Wednesdays to constitute the exhibition framework.
