Culture and Deviation  Artistic dissidence   in Austria  Martin Wassermair | cultural policy | 01.02.2009
CULTURE AND DEVIATION ARTISTIC DISSIDENCE IN AUSTRIA
Escape, convulsions, stiffness and, in the worst case, a loss of all self-control. These are symptoms of a panic attack; they are triggered behavioral patterns. It was no panicky loss of control; rather it was a calculated dosage of voices—an outcry in reaction to Austrian Interior Minister Maria Fekter of the conservative Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) and her attempt to garner media attention…
Performing the Performative.  Gini Müller : Possen des Performativen. Book Review  Theater, activism and queer politics   184 pages  Vienna: Turia + Kant, 2008   Meri Disoski | Meri Disoski | 01.02.2009
PERFORMING THE PERFORMATIVE. GINI MÜLLER : POSSEN DES PERFORMATIVEN. BOOK REVIEW THEATER, ACTIVISM AND QUEER POLITICS 184 PAGES VIENNA: TURIA + KANT, 2008
Gini Müller delves into forms of change and intervention in theater through varying manifestations of public and collective uprisings and protest in her book “Possen de Perfomativen” (The Posse of the Performative). The foundation for Müller’s conflict with forms of political action is set in post-structural, post-dramatic and feminist discourse. The author explains the dual meaning of the book…
Austria:   Nation of Culture Without Cultural   Policy?  Monika Mokre | cultural policy | 01.02.2009
AUSTRIA: NATION OF CULTURE WITHOUT CULTURAL POLICY?
Ask anyone—tourists, locals, immigrants—and they will all argue that Austria is a nation of culture. People will mention the Staatsoper, the Burgtheater, the Kunsthistorische Museum and the Salzburger Festspiele as proof of the country’s great cultural endeavors. But don’t ask questions about cultural policy to contemporary artists and those actually involved in any authentic cultural initiatives…
Complicated Accomplices  Viennese Performance Gang God’s Entertainment Transforms Art and Disaster  Nadine Jessen | theater | 01.02.2009
COMPLICATED ACCOMPLICES VIENNESE PERFORMANCE GANG GOD’S ENTERTAINMENT TRANSFORMS ART AND DISASTER
All human societies are spectacular in their daily life and produce spectacles at special moments. They are spectacular as a form of social organization and produce spectacles like the one you have come to see. Even if one is unaware of it, human relationships are structured in a theatrical way. The use of space, body language, choice of words and voice modulation, the confrontation of ideas and…
Learning From The Underground   Sezgin Boynik | art market | 01.02.2009
LEARNING FROM THE UNDERGROUND
1. Learning from Attitude The underground, although hermetic, always attempts to effectively change the mainstream world that surrounds it. We can say that its effectiveness increases proportionately to the underground’s potential to be visible in the public sphere. Actually, this is a characteristic of utopia that in part, paradoxically, disables a complete realization of the underground’s…
Inoperative Utopia: New Collages by Volker Eichelmann at the Andreas Huber Gallery, Vienna  Tom Holert | koláž | 01.02.2009
INOPERATIVE UTOPIA: NEW COLLAGES BY VOLKER EICHELMANN AT THE ANDREAS HUBER GALLERY, VIENNA
In common parlance a project proposal is addressed to an audience of experts who are thereby asked and invited to ponder the possibilities and risks of a realization of the proposed. Due to their generic status as proposals for sculptures and buildings, Volker Eichelmann’s new collages, shown along with sculptures by Manuela Leinhoß at the Vienna-based Andreas Huber Gallery in the fall of 2008,…
Vienna"s Off Spaces – A Vibrant Scene  Ursula Maria Probst | scene | 01.02.2009
VIENNA"S OFF SPACES – A VIBRANT SCENE
Vienna's off space scene is currently experiencing a veritable boom. Its artistic interventions have a most stimulating impact on the city's cultural dynamics. All the time there are new temporary art spaces emerging. With names like Pro Choice, clubblumen (club flowers), Bell Street Project, Saprophyt, or Ve:sch they allude to socio-political aspects of art practices respectively the dissolution…
Urbanplay     Vienna and Art in Public Space Ursula Maria Probst | scene | 01.02.2009
URBANPLAY VIENNA AND ART IN PUBLIC SPACE
The urban display offered by the modern western city tends to function as a monitored play-scape, a stage-set for the globalized iconography of capitalism. We can counteract this abrupt “instant urbanism,” one whose urban typology and rapid consumability evince striking parallels with the structure of shopping malls or theme parks, with the situative urbanism of artistic interventions in public…
The Art Market Vs Off-Spaces:   up-to-date forms of art production Walter Seidl | art market | 01.02.2009
THE ART MARKET VS OFF-SPACES: UP-TO-DATE FORMS OF ART PRODUCTION
In a Western capitalist world, art production forms miscellaneous structures concerning scope and content—ideas that tend to overlap at some points but also burgeon out in order to pursue opposing trends. The continuing trend has become that artworks are being valued primarily based on their monetary values and a there is a disconnection from works of that demand a critical attention; arts that…
The Vertical and the Horizontal of Looking East. Milena Dimitrova | scholarship | 01.02.2009
THE VERTICAL AND THE HORIZONTAL OF LOOKING EAST.
Vienna‘s Akademie der bildenden Künste, within the scope of a course on “Post Conceptual Art Practices,” hosted a seminar on “Writing Central European Art History,” casting a critical look at the subject, contributions from which are now available in print. Apart from its integration of socio-political themes, the seminar was quite interesting in its own right. Topics covered included modernism,…
