++++++ german ++++++ mit arbeit / work of art – über kollaborative praktiken in der kunst Ausstellung und Symposium über Kollaboration in der Kunst

Im Zuge einer Auseinandersetzung mit Fragen zur Arbeit seit Herbst 2007 möchten wir Arbeitsgemeinschaften im Kunstfeld einladen, über ihre Zusammenarbeit zu reflektieren: Was veranlasst Künstlerinnen sich zusammenzuschließen? Wie funktionieren solche Arbeitsgemeinschaften? Wer ist SchöpferIn des Teppichs von Bayeux, wessen Arbeit dessen Identität? Manche Kunst kann nur gemeinsam erzeugt werden, ist per se gemeinsame Erzeugung wie performative Arbeiten, partizipatorische Projekte; andere lassen den Schluss nicht eindeutig zu, ob eine oder mehrere AutorInnen eines Werkes sind. Erheben wir den Anspruch einer gelebten Utopie, wenn wir den Begriff des Individuums als zentralem Moment abendländischer Kunst auf solche Weise ausweiten? Diese und weitere Fragen werden im Projekt „mit arbeit“ thematisiert und zur gemeinsamen Diskussion gestellt.

Zu diesem Zweck findet im November 2008 in der Vereinigung Bildender Künstlerinnen Österreichs (VBKÖ) in Wien eine Ausstellung und ein Symposion statt. Die VBKÖ, als Knoten zur Vernetzung von Künstlerinnen vor hundert Jahren gegründet, ist als Ausstellungsfläche, Arbeits- und Diskursraum Gastgeberin. Geplant ist, dass

1. eine Ausstellung entsteht, bei der die Teilnehmerinnen eine eigene Arbeit zeigen, die spezifisch kollaborativen Charakter hat und/oder die entsprechende Arbeitsweise sichtbar macht
2. im Rahmen dessen ein eintägiges Symposium der Teilehmerinnen zwecks gemeinsamer Auseinandersetzung mit den jeweiligen Konzepten und Erfahrungen stattfindet.

Eingeladene KünstlerInnen: Bernadette Corporation,Helmut und Johanna Kandl, collabor.at, h.arta, ikoon, RAM, snm Organisation: IEFS / ursula kiesling + maki stolberg www.iefs.at

+++++++ english +++++++ mit arbeit / the work of art exhibition+symposium on collaboration

Discussing questions of labour and the role it plays in establishing ones identity in a project in 2007 ("fragBar", Graz 2007) we had the idea to organise a small exhibition and symposium on the issue of working together, thus reflecting our own work, the effects it has on questions of identity and vice versa. It is supposed to take place 3.-16. November 2008, at the „Vereinigung Bildender Künstlerinnen Österreichs“ in Maysedergasse 2, 1010 Vienna which itself was ment to be, like many other intitutions founded at the beginning of the 20th century some sort of collaborative structure. Our idea is that each participating group presents itself

1. through a work which for them demonstrates their specific way of collaborative production and
2. (if possible) take part at or contribute to the symposium which is supposed to explore and discuss different strategies and ways of artistic production questioning/exceeding traditional concepts of „the work of art“.

1. SESSION 15.30 until 20.30

AT 15.30 INTRODUCTION AND WELLCOME Marina Grzinic

AT 15.45 LECTURE by Misko Suvakovic

Misko Suvakovic, Professor of Aesthetics and Art Theory Faculty of Music, University of Arts, Belgrade, Serbia

Title: Politics and Art after the fall of the Berlin Wall

The author will point to the crucial changes that happened in society, philosophy and art after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and more precisely, after the end of the cold war division of the world. The era of postmodern social, cultural and artistic plurality was turned into a period of globalization and of restructuring of the social, political, cultural and artistic local-global relations. These processes are marked in art by a fundamental change in the media of artistic representation and expression, converting new media practices into the mainstream art of this epoch.

DISCUSSION 17.15 – 17.45/ facilitated by Grzinic, Jurica and Marjanovic

PAUSE: DRINKS, SANDWICHES

AT 18.15 LECTURE by Vojtech Lahoda

Vojtech Lahoda, Deputy Director of the Institute of Art History of the Academy of Science of the Czech Republic. University Professor at the Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic

Title: Regional Cubism? How to write on Cubism in East Central Europe

The author's aim is to concentrate on the issue of Cubism outside Paris, especially in the region usually called East Central Europe. The discussion will deal with the question whether it is still valid to write about a homogeneous western born "Cubism", or whether we should think about different local and regional "Cubisms" within the territory of Central and Eastern Europe. The author proposes the term Regional Cubism for Cubist hybridization east of Paris and stresses international aspects of Cubist regionalism.

DISCUSSION 20.00 -20.30/ facilitated by Grzinic, Jurica and Marjanovic

25 November 2008, TUESDAY Semperdepot, M1

2. SESSION 9.30 until 14.00

AT 9.30 LECTURE by Ljiljana Blagojevic

Ljiljana Blagojevic, Associate Professor Faculty of Architecture, University of Belgrade, Serbia

Title: Post-socialist Cities: Contested Modernism

The presentation explores spatiality of processes in the contemporary transformation of cities which have been constructed in the second half of the twentieth century as new modern socialist cities. The course will also focus on the impact of sociopolitical and economic post-socialist/communist transition on architecture and urbanism. The case study of New Belgrade (Serbia) will be specifically presented.

AT 11.00-11.30 DISCUSSION/ facilitated by Grzinic, Jurica and Marjanovic

PAUSE 11.30 - 12.00: DRINKS, SANDWICHES

AT 12.00 LECTURE by Mart Kalm

Mart Kalm, Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Art and Culture Estonian Academy of Art, Tallinn, Estonia

Title: What is Estonian Architecture?

This presentation will discuss the establishment and formation of the Estonian architecture culture during the 20th century. From Finnish architects serving Estonian society before the first Estonian architects emerged to the Baltic-German and Estonian architects in inter-war Estonia-the course will explore Estonian interpretations of traditionalism and modernism. From there, the architecture of Soviet Estonia, with eyes in West but organization and rules from Moscow, is followed by the post-communist Estonian architecture – and is now dissolved in globalization?

DISCUSSION 13.30-14.00/ facilitated by Grzinic, Jurica and Marjanovic

LUNCH BREAK 14.00 UNTIL 15.30

3. SESSION 15.30 -18.00

AT 15.30 LECTURE by by Edit András

Edit András, Senior Research Fellow, Research Institute for Art History of Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary

Title: One-way traffic, two-way traffic or a dead end? Dynamism of Contemporary Art Discourse in the East-West Relation

The author intends to shed light upon the shifts, gaps and discrepancies between mainstream art history writing and its Central European local, national variants focusing mostly on the period after the political changes. It would explore burning issues of what could be absorbed into the main debate, what remains invisible from outside, and how the border patrolling mechanism operates. Case-studies would be given of contemporary Hungarian artists like Little Warsaw, Andreas Fogarasi, Kriszta Nagy, Emese Benzcúr etc.

DISCUSSION 17.00 to 17.30 facilitated by Grzinic, Jurica and Marjanovic

Artist Lala Rascic is a Kulturkontakt artist in residency, Vienna. She will talk about her art work, projects and concepts. OPEN TO GENERAL PUBLIC

BIOGRAPHY: Lala Rascic born in Sarajevo 1977. Lives and works between Sarajevo and Zagreb. Graduated from Academy of Fine Arts, Zagreb. She spent a work period at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam 2003/04.

Most recently, Rascic’s solo exhibition Individual Utopias was presented at BOP Gallery, Zagreb, and Gallery KC, Belgrade, the performance of the same title opened the City of Women exhibition: Natural Relations in SKUC gallery in Ljubljana (all 2008). Her solo show Everything is Connected in National Art Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina (2007), Sarajevo toured to Museum of Contemporary Art, Banja Luka and BOP Gallery, Zagreb. Solo shows also include exhibitions at Gallery Nova, Zagreb; Art Radionica Lazareti, Dubrovnik; SC Gallery, Zagreb and Dik de Bruijne, Amsterdam.

She has participated in group shows a.o. at La Centrale Electique, Brussels, Contemporary Art Center, Graz; Edinburgh Art Festival; The Kitchen, New York; Overtones Gallery, Los Angeles and Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Center, Istanbul.

She is the recipient of the 2006 Zvono award for best young artist for Bosnia and Herzegovina and 2007 first prize winner of Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb acquisition award for her installation Everything is Connected.

Rascic develops her audio-drama inspired work thru scriptwriting, video, performance, installation and drawing. While maintaining the entertainment and aesthetic quality in her work, the subverted message is no laughing matter. At a closer look, the seemingly humorous works are a satirical comment on contemporary society and the artit’s own environment.

In charge of the presentation Adnan Popovic.
