"When Gesture Becomes Event" opened in Vienna
At Künstlerhaus in Vienna, an exhibition prepared in cooperation with the City Art Gallery Ljubljana that presents sixteen artists from Slovenia and Austria opened today. The group exhibition of Slovenian and Austrian artists is one of the larger projects in the framework of the Slovenian-Austrian Year of Neighbourhood Dialogue 2019–2020.
In the framework of the exhibition, the artists ask whether and under which conditions an individual gesture interrupts a seemingly natural course of things and how such a gesture can consequently become an event or a connecting force between people. Sixteen polyphonic, critical, constructive and imaginative voices conceive a feminist vocabulary that encompasses strategies, various forms of action and utopian breakthroughs through which it is possible to rethink collective action, cooperation, solidarity and shared existences.
The exhibition curated by Alenka Gregorič and Felicitas Thun-Hohenstein features works by: Anna Artaker, Nika Autor, Renate Bertlmann, Katharina Cibulka, Lana Čmajčanin, Magdalena Frey, Anna Jermolaewa, Roberta Lima, Polonca Lovšin, Dorit Margreiter, Ursula Mayer, Marjetica Potrč, Constanze Ruhm, Maruša Sagadin, Maja Smrekar, The Golden Pixel Cooperative.
