The Living Room @ Mario Mauroner Contemporary Art Vienna AAA

«The exhibition "The Living Room" created by "Dunbar's Number" – an association of the studios Sonja Bäumel, mischer'traxler, Martin Robitsch, Konstantin Schmölzer and the curator Judith Radlegger – focuses on the processes of natural and cultural transformations.

The line between the artificial and nature gets dissolved while the formation process becomes more decisive for creations and the concept of design is fortified with the emphasis on processuality. The exhibited objects describe an ephemeral condition, are subject to continual change or a snapshot of a natural process. The first exhibition of "Dunbar's Number" already concentrated on constant changes of states and on the "mutation" becoming a self-reflexion. Now, in the third exhibition project of the collective, the participating designers and artists go even further by conceiving the macro- and microcosm "Living Room" as a place where life happens and by emphasizing on the experience of the selected projects.» [...in PR...]

Viennese Season: Feminism

Viennese Season: Feminism
Richard Saltoun Gallery

Put Valie Export work aside of Helena Almeida's photographs and we see the influence from the Viennese dialogue, and the conservatism of Portuguese ruptures. Put Friedl Kubelka's diaristic journey side by side to Pedro Cabrita Reis, and you would see the strength of Cabrita Reis' work.

"An exhibition presenting the work of VALIE EXPORT and Friedl Kubelka, both artists who positioned their art at the centre of artistic debates of subjects of gender, the body and politics."

VALIE EXPORT

Friedl Kubelka (vom Gröller)

VALIE EXPORT (b. 1940, Linz, Austria): EXPORT's iconic work Touch Cinema (1968), in which she constructed a Styrofoam box and placed it over her chest, inviting passersby to reach in and touch her breasts, still resonates for its shock-value and use of experimental mediums. A recipient of the Grand Gold Decoration for Services to the Republic of Austria (2010), her work was included in the 53rd Venice Biennale (2009). Solo exhibitions include Centre George Pompidou, Paris, (2008) and Kunsthaus Bregenz, Bregenz, Austria (2011).

Friedl Kubelka (vom Gröller) (b. 1946, London, UK): Born in London to parents seeking political refuge, Kubelka spent her childhood in East Berlin before her parents settled in Vienna. She studied industrial photography at the Graphic Instruction and Research Institute, Vienna, from 1965 to 1969. She later founded her own 'School of Artistic Photography' in the city (1990), and the School for Independent Film (2010). She was awarded the State Prize for Photography in 2005, Austria's most prestigious photography award, and has had solo exhibitions at the Centre George Pompidou, Paris (1980), Fotogalerie, Vienna (2004), and the Nederlands Fotomuseum, Rotterdam (2005). Her films have been screened at: Generali Foundation, Vienna; Anthology Film Archives, N.Y.; documenta 12; Austrian Film Museum; Toronto Film Festival (2009, 2010); Hong Kong Film Festival (2010, 2011); Diagonale (2009, 2010, 2011); 6th berlin biennale; Retrospektive MEDIA-CITY, Canada 2010. The artist is referred to as Friedl Kubelka when referencing her photography and Friedl Vom Gröller in relation to her filmography.

Wien, just a sneak peek

Foreigns, please don't leave us with the tourists!

Naschmarkt

One thing that has intrigued me about Wien's architecture, is the flatness of the buildings facade. It looks like a massive colour print, a two-dimensional fairytale town.
