Braidt, Vice Rector for Art and Research Introductory remarks: Marina Gržinić, Professor of Conceptual Art Presentation of the project: Betül Seyma Küpeli 5.00 p.m. belit sağ, Ayhan and I [Ayhan ve ben], 14.12 min., NL/TR, 2016 (Turkish with English subtitles) Ayhan Çarkın was a police officer active in the Kurdish region in Turkey during the 1990s. He was involved in underground groups formed by police officers who were killing Kurdish people with the order of the State. He had a bad conscious and started to confess. In its early stage the original concept for the video was censored in Turkey. This video talks about the censorship it went through, while reflecting about violence and the image. 5:30 p.m. Film expert’s lecture Sebestyén Kodolányi, “Scope and Critical Topology of Censorship in Eastern Europe” The lecture tries to map the modes and behaviors of censorship in the Eastern European countries, from the time of socialist modernization to nowadays. It reflects as well on anomalies of artistic behaviors and misinterpretations of censorships, such as self-victimization and self-censorship. The legal frames of aggressive control over the redistribution of cultural subventions are in the present democratic societies more effective than the “good old” censorship strategies. The lecture will be illustrated with excerpts from films made in the German Democratic Republic, Poland, ex-Czechoslovakia, Hungary and ex-Yugoslavia. (in English) 7.00 p.m. Talk with belit sağ and Sebestyén Kodolányi Friday, 17.03.2017 PROGRAM FRIDAY, 17.03.2017 www.akbild.ac.at Where: Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien, Hauptgebäude, Schillerplatz 3, 1010 Wien, Aula 12.00 a.m. SEMINAR 1 René Vautier, Afrique 50, 17 min., FR, 1950 (French with English subtitles) Alain Resnais, Night and Fog [Nuit et Brouillard], 32 min., FR, 1956 (French with English subtitles) After the screening talk about the films 2.00 p.m. SEMINAR 2 Gillo Pontecorvo, The Battle Of Algiers [La Bataille D'Alger], 121 min., IT/ Algeria, 1966 (French with English subtitles) Talk about the film with Gianfranco Pannone 5.00 p.m. Sebestyén Kodolányi – Independent Theater Budapest, Camp [Tábor], 25 min, HU, 2014 – 2016 (Hungarian with English subtitles) Community workers are doing their archival job now for the sake of the digitalization of the national heritage inside a corrupted institution. After the screening talk with Sebestyén Kodolányi 6.00 p.m. Nathalie Borgers, CITIZEN KRONE [Kronenzeitung: Tag für Tag ein Boulevardstück], 58 min., AT/FR/BE, 2002 (German with English subtitles) The documentary CITIZEN KRONE (2002) by Belgian filmmaker Nathalie Borgers shows Hans Dichand (Founder and publisher of the Kronen-Newspaper) with the former Austrian president Thomas Klestil in Vienna’s Hofburg while having cake – a Gugelhupf. Thereafter, Klestil eagerly leads Dichand through his offices at the Hofburg. This has been often interpreted as Klestil’s going down on his knees in front of Dichand, and, according to observers, testifies to Dichand’s status of power. In his 1996 book, Dichand himself described his role as being in the “atrium of power” (also the title of his book), but nonchalantly relativized this stance later. This documentary film has never been shown by Austria’s public broadcasting station, a decision officially justified by “journalistic deficits” because in one short instance, Borgers used unauthorized, accidental audio material of this visit to the Hofburg.

Her discussion partners address the discrimination of Sinti, Romani and Yenish out of historical, biographical, psychoanalytical and linguistic/discursive reasons. After the screening talk with Marika Schmiedt 4.00 p.m. Gianfranco Pannone, Red Sunrise [Il Sol dell'avvenire], 77 min., IT, 2008 (Italian with English subtitles) Reggio Emilia, Italy, 1969. Thirty young militant communists leave the Communist Party, accusing it of having betrayed the ideals of the Resistenza, and, together with other young people of anarchic, socialist and catholic extraction, they form The Apartment, a commune where revolutionary dreams are bandied around and where the most dangerous terrorists of the future Red Brigades will come from. In 2007, five former militant communists from those Red Brigades of 1969 meet again in a restaurant: it’s the beginning of the first exploration of the ideological and political roots of the far-lefts terrorism. After the screening talk with Gianfranco Pannone 6.00 p.m. Save their life – Protect the working class Film program curated by Sebestyén Kodolányi Archaic Torso [Archaikus torzó], dir.: Dobai Péter, orig. format: 35mm, bw, 31 min, HU, 1971 Newly Married (News Reel) [Ifjú házasok (Híradó)], dir.:Gödrös Frigyes – Pintér György, orig. format: 35mm, bw, 7min, HU,1974 Merry Working Class [Vesela radna klasa], dir.: Bojana Makavejev orig. format: 35mm, bw, 13 min, Yugoslavia, 1969 Centaur [Kentaur], dir.: Szentjóby Tamás, orig. format: 35mm, bw, 37 min, HU, 1975 Patrons of Art’s [Mecénások], dir.: László Vitézy, orig. format: 35mm, bw&col., 24 min, HU, 1976 After the screening talk with Sebestyén Kodolányi Finissage Guests: Nathalie Borgers, born in Brussels, Belgium.

Artists talks Đejmi Hadrović (Slovenia), Bojana S. Knežević (Belgrade, Serbia) and Svetlana Mi¬rcheva (Sofia, Bulgaria)

Organized by Marina Grzinic, Post Conceptual Study Program (IBK). The presentations are possible thanks to the Artists-in-Residence program of the Austrian Federal Chancellery and KulturKontakt Austria.

Đejmi Hadrović (Slovenia) Title: Zahida is a Feminist The goal of my art work explains Đejmi Hadrović was to try to present Bosnian’s women through another aspect, an aspect that has not been dominated by the eyes of others. In the last few decades Bosnian’s women were presented through only 2 images, of a victim or a housewife. I wanted to break down the stereotype of ethnicity that I think defines me the most because of my cultural habitus.

CV: Đejmi Hadrović’s art work is inspired by culture. Her constant intention through her art works is to demolish social norms and conventions. She is creating her works as platforms of contemporary art with using media such as video, photography and performance.

Bojana S. Knežević (Belgrade, Serbia) Title: Sweet Conceptual Artist (2013-2017) Sweet Conceptual Artist (Slatka Konceptualna Umetnica; Süße Konzeptkünstlerin) comes from former Yugoslavia, from the country in transition that changed its name three times during its lifetime that was filled as well with wars and hardships. After years of efforts and two successful exhibitions in Serbia, Sweet Conceptual Artist finally got the opportunity to reside in Western Europe and try her luck in Vienna.

CV: Bojana S. Knežević is interdisciplinary artist and art journalist, active in the field of audio-visual installation, performance, video, film, radio and sound art. She got her BA and MFA degree (New Media Arts) at the Department of Fine Arts, at the Academy of Arts Novi Sad (Serbia). Currently she is finishing her Ph.D. research on the topic of Virtual artistic identity and its real effects in culture, at the Interdisciplinary studies (Digital Art), University of Arts in Belgrade. She is co-founder of the association, radio show/podcast and art/media project Femkanje.

Svetlana Mi¬rcheva (Sofia, Bulgaria) Title: Images of the word, Soundscapes and Space dogs

In her solo exhibition Images of the word at Un Cabinet D’Amateur Gallery in Sofia, 2014, Svetlana Mircheva presented four series based upon chance meetings with things and words. From rebus to cosmic constellations, and from twisted slogans to computer explorations, these are all possible intrusions of visual art in the infinite world of language.

CV: Svetlana Mi¬rcheva graduated from the National Academy of Arts in Sofia. In 2003 she took Olafur Eliasson’s summer class in IUAV, Venice, and in 2004 was awarded the International Media Art Award of ZKM, Karlsruhe, for her project Mistakes. In 2010 she was among the finalists for BAZA award, and in 2012 she was nomination for Henkel Art Award (Bulgarian nominee). In 2012 her solo exhibition Possible Exhibitions took place in Brooklyn, New York, and in 2015 she was one of the artists presented at Focus Bulgaria at Vienna Contemporary. Her works have been exhibited in Sofia, Plovdiv, London, Venice, Basel, Berlin, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Vienna, Salzburg, Moscow and New York.
