Elia Nurvista and Marta Fernández Calvo will present the results of their residency at KEX, which evolved out of a process of rapprochement and mutual care that began in October 2023. For a week, a series of readings and objects will unfold in the exhibition space, culminating in a workshop that celebrates the meeting of their practices.
The exhibition Start Sniffing focuses on collaborations between human and nonhuman artists, highlighting the scope of cross-species dialogue at eye level and integrating neighbouring fields of research in interdisciplinary human-animal studies, philosophy, and animal ethics. The question of how we can abandon human exceptionalism in an anthropocentric world order has also arisen within the art world – latest since the artistic method of “Artistic Interspecies Collaboration” coined by Lisa Jevbratt.
Living Apart Together brings audio-visual artworks from Belgium and Austria, with some stops along the way, into correspondence. It explores how self-images and identity are constructed and performed, and examines the role of everyday habits and objects in this process.
About twice a month, the newsletter of KUNSTHALLE EXNERGASSE provides you with information about current exhibitions and events at Kunsthalle Exnergasse and the KEX Artist/Research Residency programme.
