BITTE SEIEN SIE ACHTSAM. ANDERE BRAUCHEN IHREN KARLSPLATZ VIELLEICHT NOTWENDIGER. The project consists of two threads along which we want to elaborate specific questions. First, what is our responsibility in entering the public space? Who can open it and or has access to it? Second, how is it possible to deconstruct the concept of going public with artworks and performative bodies? Can we raise any social awareness, can we “woke the public space and the people” on questions of marginalization, discrimination, precarity?

In this regard students enter the public space with interventions, constructing topical art objects with discursive and political potentials; the temporary built performative spaces (rapping, shouting, manifesting) will exchange with the passerby, and as well with the specific art and any public. We want to open with this project a platform for dialogue with everybody passing by, building temporary communities and questioning the politics of art practice, the performative of words uttered and bodies in the public space. Using a title, referring to an announcement known from the public transport and adapted to the actual area, we will start this conversation.

Public lecture by Heba Y. Amin Title lecture: Female Subjectivities and Technological Dystopias

Organized by Studio for Conceptual Art [Post-conceptual Art Practices] Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and Kunsthalle Wien Egyptian artist Heba Y. Amin grounds her work in extensive research that looks at the convergence of politics, technology, and architecture. Techno-utopian ideas, as manifest in characteristic machines of soft colonial power, are at the heart of Amin’s work. Starting from the idea that landscape is an expression of dominant political power, Heba Y. Amin looks for tactics of subversion and other techniques to undermine consolidated systems and flip historical narratives through critical spatial practice. CV: Amin teaches at Bard College Berlin, is a doctoral fellow in art history at Freie Universität, and a current Field of Vision fellow in NYC. She is the co-founder of the Black Athena Collective, the curator of visual art for the MIZNA journal (US), and co-curator for the biennial residency program DEFAULT with Random Association (IT). Furthermore, Amin is also one of the artists behind the subversive graffiti action on the set of the television series “Homeland” which received worldwide media attention. Amin lives in Berlin.

Where:

SEMINAR ROOM 1, BUILDING 9.2 INSTITUT FÜR KUNSTGESCHICHTE, UNIVERSITY OF VIENNA UNIVERSITY CAMPUS, HOF 9 GARNISONGASSE 13, 1090 VIENNA LECTURE BY Vasyl Cherepanyn (Kyiv) Title: Gesamtkunstwerk Counter-Revolution

Lecture as part of The Art of Pedagogy, The Pedagogy of Art: Institutions of Learning in Global Contemporaneity Lecture Series, Summer 2019

In his lecture, Vasyl Cherepanyn will analyze the cultural and political context in Europe with regards to democracy affected by populism, the potential of political solidarity and the threat of the extreme right, arguing that the future of a united Europe is at stake for the left today. The presentation also focuses on the functioning of public institutions under the conditions of war in Ukraine, where radical attitudes and hostility have continued to increase, and hate speech has spread on both national and international levels, connecting symbolic and real violence to their influence on cultural processes. What actions need to be taken to reclaim democracy in a time when it became a fetish to cover the political alternative? How do ideological polarizations in contemporary societies affect the way the artistic field operates? Instead of speculating about what art and culture can bring to politics, it's the artists themselves who must proclaim – where art fails only politics can help?

CV: Vasyl Cherepanyn is Head of the Visual Culture Research Center (VCRC, Kyiv) and a lecturer at the Cultural Studies Department of the University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. He has been lecturing at European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder), University of Helsinki, Free University of Berlin, Merz Akademie in Stuttgart, Masaryk University in Brno, Institute for Advanced Studies of the “Political Critique” in Warsaw, Greifswald University. He was a visiting fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna. He recently co-edited Guidebook of the Kyiv International (Medusa Books, 2018) and '68 NOW (Archive Books, 2019) and curated The European International and Hybrid Peace projects. VCRC is the organizer of The School of Kyiv – Kyiv Biennial 2015 and The Kyiv International – Kyiv Biennial 2017. VCRC has received the European Cultural Foundation's Princess Margriet Award for Culture in 2015, and the Igor Zabel Award Grant for Culture and Theory 2018.
