Queering the KHM

Performance: My Dirty Old God*esses 30th of June

Queer Interventions & Performances from 9 June to 3 July at the Kunsthistorisches Museum

The performance My Dirty Old God*esses, shown on the occasion of the project Queering the KHM, is part of a multiyear project by Larissa Kopp and Florian Aschka that, based on Sigmund Freud’s collection of antiquities, focuses on archetypical pictures and objects from classical antiquity.

These artefacts have several levels of meaning: the connection with Freud, his theories, and the story of his flight from Vienna to London in 1938. In a critical examination of Freud’s theories, we question his ideas about sexuality and queer them.

Performers: Ingrid Dorfinger, Berivan Sayici, Vito BaumĂŒller, Massimo Deo, Susie Flowers, Suchart Wannaset, Thomas Hörl, Luis Javier Murillo ZĂșñiga, Alexandru Coșarcă, Wilhelm Binder

Into the Valley of Despair
Curated by Carina Martinez

Artists: Anna Witt, Kim Kielhofner, Mia Raadik, Florian Aschka & Larissa Kopp, Chun Hua Catherine Dong, Julian Louis Phillips

Opening Reception: Thursday, April 14, 6:00 – 8:00 pm

Pfizer Building, 630 Flushing Avenue, Brooklyn, NY

To schedule an appointment to view the exhibition, please contact macp@sva.edu.

CP Projects Space at the School of Visual Arts is pleased to present Into the Valley of Despair, curated by MA Curatorial Practice student Carina Martinez. This showcase of six artist practices contemplates the overlapping territories of psychological discomfort and truth-seeking. The exhibition’s title refers to the Dunning-Kruger Effect, a graph developed in psychology that demonstrates a type of cognitive bias in which a person’s overestimation of knowledge of a given subject corresponds to a sense of overconfidence. The bottom of the sharply dipped curve is labeled “the valley of despair,” indicating the point at which one may become disillusioned by the realization that they know very little about something they once believed to have understood. The “un-selfing” quality of works in this exhibition suggests that, rather than turn away from the destabilizing truth of one’s limited purview, embarking on a winding journey through the valley with openness—waiting, listening, experimenting—might be the most profound path toward sustainable knowledge and transformative justice. Acknowledging the contradictions that exist within and all around us, this project intends to consider how the valley of despair can reinvent itself as an oasis of repair.

Each participating artist attempts to highlight that which fundamentally lies outside of visible sightlines by challenging themselves, their subjects, or their audiences to inhabit new perceptions, roles, and realms. Kim Kielhofner’s video work Reading Patterns (2019) presents the artist’s experimental attempts to map the places where discernibility escapes the mind’s grasp, whereas Chun Hua Catherine Dong’s photographic series I Have Been There (2015-) captures the artist “buried” amid the social and built structures of unfamiliar places around the world as an experiment in self-surrender and social trust. Mia Raadik’s installation, Autoportrait (2020), documents the artist’s healing from a painful trauma and challenges viewers to question social taboos, while Florian Aschka and Larissa Kopp disrupt the status quo in the photographic project Private Property (2021-) by penetrating privatized NYC spaces with flags for “the queer revolution.” Anna Witt’s two-channel video Radical Thought (2021) mobilizes discomfort in NYC public spaces as a generative force by engaging the radical imagination of unsuspecting subjects, and inserts art audiences into possible worlds conceived by utter strangers. Julian Louis Phillips’s installation The Strategic Response Group (2021)and live performance piece On Violence (2022) bring viewers into the experience of being “radicalized” in a Black body and the perception of that radicalization in the U.S. political and mass media context.

Into the Valley of Despair takes shape during a time when art world stakeholders are unavoidably confronted with multiple destabilizing realities. The solution lies not in just including underrepresented perspectives through the language of multiplicity and diversity; rather, it is to reconsider the situation entirely as a series of enactments of what theorist Irit Rogoff calls “an epistemological crisis”— an “exiting from previous definitions, refusing former meanings, refusing moral inscription, refusing the easy stability in which one thing is seemingly good and the other potentially threatening, risking a capacity for misunderstanding.”[1] Arguably at the core of contemporary arts’ and society’s future needs is a willful rappelling into the contradictions, injustices, and enclosures of the past and present, to which this exhibition aims to contribute.

Heinrich Vogeler. Der Neue Mensch

Anbruch einer neuen Zeit

Worpsweder Museen

27th March til 6th November 2022

Experience Heinrich Vogeler in his original setting

In 2022, the artists’ village of Worpswede will be dedicated to Heinrich Vogeler. The four Worpswede museums – Barkenhoff, Grosse Kunstschau, Haus im Schluh und Worpsweder Kunsthalle – will honour this universal artist on the occasion of his 150th birthday on 12 December 2022 with the retrospective »Heinrich Vogeler. The New Human«, which brings to life his biography and all aspects and phases of his work in a synthesis that is both diverse and fascinating. This retrospective highlights Vogeler’s idea of humanity and his personal and political ideals which together shaped his art and eventful life. At the same time, a docu-fiction tracing the artist’s life journey will be released in the spring of 2022. The film was partly shot in Worpswede with Florian Lukas (Heinrich Vogeler), Anna-Maria MĂŒhe (Martha Vogeler), Naomi Achternbusch (Paula Modersohn-Becker), Johann von BĂŒlow (Rainer Maria Rilke) and other well-known actors and actresses. For this – and all other visitors – the artists’ village offers in 2022 the unique opportunity to get to know the original settings and to delve deeper into them through the original works in the Worpswede museums.

This exhibition marking the Vogeler anniversary year in 2022 is the prelude to a major exhibition, art and research project of the Worpswede museums. Between 2022 and 2027, under the title â€șZEITENWENDE – Kunst im Aufbruch in einer Welt im Umbruchâ€č (â€șTURNING POINT– Art in Transition in a World of Upheavalâ€č), it will pose and explore the question of what special role art and culture can play in times of radical social change. The question of how art and culture can also contribute in shaping our present social reality and the world in which we live forms a leitmotif for the exhibitions of the Worpswede museums in the coming years and will play an important role for the first time in the Vogeler anniversary year in 2022. This major project will comprise three other anniversaries: the 150th  birthday of Bernhard Hoetger in 2024, the 150th birthday of Paula Modersohn-Becker in 2025/26 and the centennial of the Grosse Kunstschau Worpswede in 2027.

Finally, in the New Section of the Great Art Show, under the title “Dawn of a New Era” (Anbruch einer neuen Zeit), the artist’s questions are still relevant today. This section of the exhibition is dedicated to the significance of those aspects that Vogeler emphasized as guiding principles in his appeal for peace for coexistence in all forms of society. In 19 contemporary positions, Vogeler’s political and social commitment is translated into the present. The participating artists are:

Anna Artaker and Meike S. Gleim, Florian Aschka and Larissa Kopp, Thomas Behling, Sylvie Boisseau und Frank Westermeyer, Alessandro Cemolin, ClĂ©ment Cogitore, Sokari Douglas Camp, Maarten Vanden Eynde, Julia Faber, Kristian von Hornsleth, Jannine Koch, Luise Marchand, Arthur Metz, mischer’traxler, Mwangi Hutter, OMA, Oliver Ressler, Yara Said and Jakob Wirth.

Art serves as an important medium for creating a contextual ethical awareness, be it in social, economic, political, or cultural realms. The exhibition »Queer Art Space Vienna« attempts to provide insights into Vienna’s dynamic queer art scene. Here »queer« refers to artistic and cultural practices, which provoke interactions between artwork and spectator—by questioning heteronormative power relations—and therewith shifts in the sociopolitical context. Various performances, film screenings, lectures, and talks accompany the exhibition.

PORN FILM FESTIVAL VIENNA goes DESSOUS

How are projections of sexual fantasies executed, how can the body be medium of concupiscence and where are expectations of a body to be set or exposed? Landscapes of Desire shows artworks of fundamental corporeality, centers of lust are to be established and aspects of different identities are questioned und newly painted. The body is the main focus of the exhibition and functions as a politically tuned, painted, drawn and performed landscape. In the exhibition different medias ask about the normative structures we live in and sets up new room for sexual self determination. Body and ecstasis. Exposure. Post-porntopian desire.

QUEER ENCOUNTERS ‐ VIENNA TRANS L. A. 

As part of an exchange project between the CalArts School of Art and students of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the exhibition QUEER ENCOUNTERS ‐ VIENNA TRANS L. A. presents around twenty‐five international artists mainly working in a queer‐feminist, anti‐discriminatory and decolonial context.

HauserKlitcliqueLarissa KoppRoberta LimaAlfred MorinaRini MitraHyeji NamDanielle PampMichal RutzBerivan SayiciSir Meisi & Kozek HörlonskiMarianne VlaschitsJulia Zastava

Curated by Zoe Dewitt

Most of the artists have been studying at the contextual painting class of Ashley Hans Scheirl (experimental filmmaker and painter, artist of documenta14 in Kassel and Athens) which is known for its focus on identity/gender topics and the trans‐aspect in art (as in the transposition between artistic media, the transition between sexual categories, the transgression of borders limiting the exploration of new libidinous economies etc.).

The positions united in this exhibition reflect this transitive aspect in various ways: the encounter of different cultural backgrounds with contemporary western subcultures and socio‐political discourses, the shifting of set pieces of myth, folklore, high and low culture, trash and glamour, the exploration of alternate identities as a means of self‐empowerment, the use of the body as a translator of various languages and codes as well as the prima materia of artistic expression from which further alchemical transmutations of desire emanate.

Intergalactic matriarchy, queer utopia, decolonisation of the body, LGBT‐activism, postporn, non‐binary club culture and freesytle rap with white‐cube institutional criticism are just a few keywords which describe the artistic field presented in this exhibition. As such QUEER ENCOUNTERS ‐ VIENNA TRANS L. A. covers a variety of artistic fields such as painting, photography, video, installation and performance with a special emphasis on interdisciplinary methods and collaborations between artists

SubDocumenta

photo by NEGROMA

The subDocumenta’s project is an evening with performances, exhibition, and presentation with a focus on queer feminist artists based in Vienna, occupying the AMOQA – Athens Museum of Queer Arts, on 07th of May.

The event is organized by PĂȘdra Costa, Ruby Sircar and AMOQA and it presents the multiplicities of techniques, languages and thoughts trough 31 artists. It is an ephemeral and transitional exhibition, a counterpoint to the durational event – the Documenta 14.

The term “sub” from Latin means in this context under the Documenta, in an underground and queer way. According to Judith Butler, queer people do not reach the status of the human being for the Western societies, and expanding this quote we would say that immigrants in EU too.

Queer is a creative and subversive way to co-exist in the world, under the capitalist/colonial cis-tem. At last, what is the sub? The sub is the trick to subvert the status quo making part of it.

Artists:

Adelaida AE, Alexandru Cosarca, Alfred Morina, Mirabella Dziruni, Ben, Danielle Pamp, Eva Hettmer, Florian Aschka, Gin MĂŒller, Hyeji Nam, Jasmin Hagendorfer, Jonathan Hoehl, Julia Fuchs, Julia Goodman, Larissa Kopp, Leon Höllhumer, Lora Sophie, Louise Deininger, Lukas Ponyboy, Michal Rutz, Moritz Gottschalk, PĂȘdra Costa, Rini Mitra, Sir Meisi (Ruby Sircar and Wolfgang Meisinger), Sophie Utikal, Stefan-Manuel Eggenweber, Tomash Schoiswohl, Wilhelm Binder, Zoe Dewitt, with the the illustrious presence of the Artist Ashley Scheirl.

HEDONISMO CRÍTICO

Equipo Palomar

13/3/2016 – 18h-1h – Sala Hiroshima

Carrer de Vila i VilĂ , 67 – Barcelona – Accesible local – Free entry

Equipo Palomar is pleased to celebrate HEDONISMO CRÍTICO -reinvención y reivindicación- a festive marathon with performances and music. For 7 hours, HEDONISMO CRÍTICO takes the Hiroshima bar and theater as a space for queer claim.

We are forced to think about the potential of the party as a space-time bastion to share and generate new ways of affection without exclusions.  For these reasons, we want to create our own party. As it couldn’t be otherwise, we have invited a number of artists to orchestrate this intensity:

AgnĂšs Pe, AndrĂ©s Senra, Arabesca, Christina Ratas, Francisco Godoy Vega, Florian Aschka + Georg KlĂŒver, Georges Jacotey, Klau Kinki + MartĂ­n Rico, MarĂ­a Perkances + Jordi Flekos, Miguel Benlloch, Negroma, Paquito Nogales, Raisa Maudit, RamĂłn Guimaraes, Regina Fiz, Solange tĂŽ aberta, „₏$Si.

HEDONISMO CRÍTICO -reinvenciĂłn y reivindicaciĂłn- is formulated as a critical reflection on El Palomar as an artistic project and a community itself. It starts from the invitation of MartĂ­ Manen inside ‘Quan les lĂ­nies sĂłn temps’ cycle for Espai 13 of the FundaciĂł Joan MirĂł and carried out in collaboration with the  Sala Hiroshima.

In cooperation with the Paintings Gallery and the Graphic Collection of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna
The exhibition and performance project With Eyes Aghast: Transmannerist Reactions focuses on contemporary queer mannerisms in a critically playful way. The curatorial team’s invitation is aimed at an imaginatively grotesque distortion of the xhibit space and other parts of the Schillerplatz: surprising decorative fine art and architecture forms meet with burlesque and drag formats. Historical mannerism, which marks a rupture in every expression, finds a contemporary mirror in this transdisciplinary project, which pursues what Gustav RenĂ© Hocke described as “the alchemy of language” in his work Die Welt als Labyrinth (1957, The World as a Labyrinth). Epigrammatically, as it were, the artists’ works counter socioeconomic constraints visible in emerging autocratic forms of power with a queer and decolonizing thrust.
The title of the project refers to the mannerist garden Sacro Bosco in Bomarzo where a sphinx welcomes the visitors entering the site with the following words: “Whoever does not wander through this place with raised brows and lips pressed tightly together would not even admire the Seven Wonders of the World.” The world of wonders that manifests itself in an overall mannerist concept challenges its vis-à-vis to creatively and actively intervene in the circumstances given and engage in their highest form, artistic expression and understanding.
The garden as a site of the manifestation of – and the debate on – artificiality, the disintegration of existing systems, and the reassessment of given hierarchies will be defined and discussed in a contemporary vein: (trans)mannerism may be understood as absolute empowerment on the basis of breaking away from the prevailing conditions and the creation of a physique of one’s own. Flamboyant: being a cyborg and rooted in creole is what the manifesto amounts to.

What is queer today is not queer tomorrow
Exhibition at NGBK Berlin ‹14th June – 10th August 2014

The exhibition What is Queer Today is Not Queer Tomorrow explores the theme of queer temporality. The project responds to debates within queer milieus (lesbian, gay, trans*, intersex-, etc.) and to the increasing integration of queer ways of life into the political mainstream. The nGbK becomes an explicit venue of experience, confrontation, reflection, lingering, exchange and departure.
