Unbearable future slipping through my fingers

Lecture Performance

Subtitle

Lecture Performance

Unbearable future slipping through my fingers is the first episode of the umbrella project “Fiction As A Reality We Missed”. The project navigates the practices of world-making from the state and below. The narrative of this lecture performance speculates the future of the infrastructure of the Egyptian space project and scientific research that portrays the state’s imagination. It weaves shrapnels of archival materials, hearsays, rumors, conspiracies, dreams, and events in order to propose a counter-fiction that might be a space to negotiate hope.

Addressing Amnesia, Performing Trauma

Book Presentation

Subtitle

Book Presentation

The anthology inquires how contemporary artistic practices performatively deal with trauma and repressed histories in
Austria. By bringing together perspectives from the arts, art history, philosophy, dance studies, and history, the anthology
based on the eponymous symposium held at Angewandte in 2022 addresses issues like social forgetfulness, historical
trauma, and historical denial within the countries of the former Austrian monarchy.

ONLINE via Zoom: The Regime of Digital Coloniality // IN ENGLISH

Book Presentation

A discussion based on the book by Adla Isanović, The Regime of Digital Coloniality: Bosnian Forensic Contemporaneity. This book problematizes how databases are conceived and how they relate to knowledge production in the current environment of global capitalism, biopolitics, and necropolitics. It is indispensable for discussing about the consequences of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s and BiH contemporary transformation from a genocide into a forensic site.
We will talk about two main points: Contemporary database logic (beyond the biopolitical archive) that organizes media, social networks, state governance, politics, legal processes, and military interventions, and as well a wider range of art practices, including contemporary presentation/exhibition models and forms. The forensic shift is the prevailing forensic methodology and aesthetics that is occurring in a variety of forums, including international humanitarian politics, law, and art. What are the consequences?

PhD in Context: Mshika Shika Black Market and Guerilla Poetics // IN ENGLISH

Talks with PhD in Practice

Listening to a radio piece, to be followed by an artist talk by Masimba Hwati, in conversation with a guest, Eleftherios Krysalis.

A description of the tension and beauty of a struggle. The piece is a radio composition consisting of field recordings from the black market and flea market in Harare Zimbabwe, also included are snippets of wartime radio broadcasts from the 2nd Chimurenga (Zimbabwe War of Independence-1964-1979). Two personal stories are punctuating the piece, one from Masimba’s father and another from his Mother both are centered on their experiences around war time radio. Interwoven within also, are moments from an Improvised live sound performance “Bread Scores” from Masimba Hwati and some friends in Weimar. “Bread Scores” was inspired by how small wireless radios, spare batteries, newspaper cuttings and secret messages were smuggled in loaves of bread to the Liberation fighters who were imprisoned during the war of Independence in Zimbabwe. The Blackmarket is a zone for economic and political negotiation and resistance where a people under duress, economic and political pressure alchemically improvise.

Masimba Hwati, interdisciplinary artist and PhD candidate at Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna
Eleftherios Krysalis, radio/sound artist and freelance researcher, Curator and project coordinator of the Radio Art Residency Weimar

The PhD in Practice program provides a concept of arts-based research that is built upon critical epistemologies, as they have been developed in the context of feminist, queer, postcolonial, ecological, postmarxist and other political and emancipatory projects.

A cooperation with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, coordinated by Renate Lorenz (Professor for Art and Research) and Anette Baldauf (Professor for Methodology and Epistemology)

Future now #2

For each event within the discourse series Future now two participants, one artist and one theorist, conceive future scenarios. This time to the topic of borders: The last years have seen a proliferation of borders, made of concrete and metal, security techniques, laws, deportations and also made of exoticism and racism.

The PHD candidate Carla Küffner is working in the field of migration studies and analyzes (non-)deportation practices.
Nour Shantout ist studying at Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien, and works around social barriers, and heritage.

Bildpraktiken empirisch untersucht

Vom Tafelbild zum Selfie  auch in der Kunstgeschichte und der Bildwissenschaft halten neue Formen empirischen Arbeitens Einzug. So sollen einerseits Prämissen klassischer Interpretationen hinterfragt, andererseits neue Fragenkomplexe erschlossen werden. Verlieren dabei traditionelle Geisteswissenschaften ihre Identität oder stellt die Empirie eine legitime Bereicherung dar?

Thnk Tnak Sparkling Past

Sparkling Past displays the backstage of advertising and is also a essay that questions the artworld`s relationship to advertising. While artists such as Roe Ethridge or Christopher Williams mimic the aesthetics of advertising, sometimes creating sophisticated metaphors, Richard Prince and Jeff Koons directly appropriate ads, but display their disregard for the authors. In this context, Speidel and Hugard felt the urge to not only go back to the «originals”, but to follow through to a pre-promotional level, where they discovered pictures of a quality and strangeness which – once brought into the context of art – directly rival the artistic creations that reference advertising.

Kranke Sounds. Devianz + Pop

Vortrag und Diskussion

(Post-)Punk Enfreakment, Antipsychiatrie, Cyborgs und Geek-Kultur. Welche möglichen Verstrickungen bestehen zwischen ästhetischer Imperfektion, Gegenkultur, Krankheit und Pop? Unter Rekurs auf einerseits historische Bewegungen wie dem Disability Rights Movement und andererseits crip-affine Diskurs aus Pop-Musik, Film und bildender Kunst wird eine Annäherung an der Schnittstelle von Devianz und Pop versucht.

Disparitäten von Visuals-Pionierinnen

Anfang der 1990er Jahre entwickelten sich im Zuge der Techno-Kultur in England neue ästhetische Praktiken der Licht-Projektionen – kurz Visuals.

Kneeling and Streetwashing

The text of a radio play by artist Sarah Mendelsohn begins as a fictional conversation among a group of cultural workers and city officials about how to address the problematic statue Kniender und straßenwaschender Jude installed at Albertinaplatz as part of Alfred Hrdlicka’s Mahnmal gegen Krieg und Faschismus. Over six chapters the focus expands to include personal narrative and associative thinking about the politics of public space and poetic signification.

Photography Beyond Itself

Photography is deeply enmeshed in our daily lives. But what do we talk about when we talk about photography? Is there any commonality that links a photoshopped picture in a magazine, a silver-gelatin paperphotograph displayed in an art gallery and a downloaded file image on a computer screen?
