Rauschende Prozessionen und befreiende Rituale im Spirit der 1920er: SODOM VIENNA, die post-utopische, solidarische und lustvolle Stadt, präsentiert im Rahmen der WIENWOCHE 2020 antirassistische und queer-feministische Manifestationen. Das Rote Wien der 1920er Jahre stand für eine Utopie, die Wohnbaupolitik, Frauenemanzipation, Bildungs- und Gesundheitspolitik revolutionierte. In Anlehnung an den Film „Sodom und Gomorrha“, der 1922 unter Einbeziehung tausender Statist*innen im Arbeiterbezirk Favoriten gedreht wurde, lädt SODOM VIENNA dazu ein, gemeinsam ein lustvolles Queering unserer Stadt zu feiern. Mit Kollektiven wie Omas gegen Rechts, Têkoşîn, Chor Hor 29. Novembar und Afro Rainbow Austria nehmen wir dabei im Vorfeld der Wiener Wahlen im Oktober 2020 den politisch umkämpften Viktor-Adler-Markt ein: Liebend gerne im Kampf gegen Rassismus, Faschismus und Sexismus. Und wir gehen baden: Zum Abschluss der WIENWOCHE am 20. September steht die schwimmende Manifestation auf den Gewässern der Alten Donau ganz im Zeichen von Body Positivity, Leisure und No-Work-Time. Ho-ruck nach Liebe links!

25 Jahre Depot.Nachgefragt:
Subversiv?
2010 wurde im Depot über den in der Kunst oft unreflektiert benutzen Begriff Subversion nach- gedacht. Wie hat sich das Verhältnis von Kunst und Subversion entwickelt? Erfüllt Kunst ihre Aufgabe der Kritik in diesem Sinne? Oder ist der Begriff der Subversion in diesem Kontext gar zu einem Label verkommen, um einer Nachfrage am Kunstmarkt zu entsprechen?

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.
Artists Presented
Florian Aschka, Blisssquad, Pedra Costa, Zoe Dewitt, Andi Dvořák, Mirabella Dziruni, Veronika Eberhart, Julia Fuchs, Julia S. Goodman, Moritz Gottschalk, Jessyca R. Hauser, Klitclique, Larissa Kopp, Roberta Lima, Alfred Morina, Rini Mitra, Hyeji Nam, Danielle Pamp, Michal Rutz, Berivan Sayici, Sir Meisi & Kozek Hörlonski, Marianne Vlaschits, Julia 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

OPENING
THURSDAY, 19th NOVEMBER 7:00 p.m. (as part of the Vienna Art Week)
20th November – 10th January 2016
finissage: 9th January 2016, Performance Bash
curators: Moritz Gottschalk, Christian Hetlinger, Roberta Lima, Matteo Patti, Ruby Sircar
artists: Christoph Ablinger, Annemarie Arzberger, Florian Aschka, Wilhelm Binder, Amoako Boafo, Roy Fredrick Culbertson III, Luise Deininger, Zoe DeWitt, Veronika Dirnhofer, Albrecht Dürer, Andy Dvorak, Veronika Eberhart, Julia Fuchs, Fanni Futterknecht, Hendrick Goltzius, Moritz Gottschalk, Cornelisz van Haarlem, Lena Rosa Haendle, Hagendorfer, Eva Hettmer, Leon Höllhumer, Luisa Kasalicky, Terese Kasalicky, Jakob Lena Knebl, Larissa Kopp, Maria Legat, Elke Liberda, Roberta Lima, Ahoo Maher, Parastu und Ziba Malousy, Andreas Messinger, Stephanie Misa, Rini Mitra Swarnaly, Soso Phist, Madame Pipistrelle, Heti Hnah Prack, Christoph Rodler, Michal Rutz, Andrea Salzmann, Hans Scheirl, Ruby Sircar, Alexandra Tatar, Patrick Weber, Charles Wilda, Julia Zastava and others
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 René 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.

Rapid pulse Performance Festival
4.6. - 14.6. 2015
Defibrillator Gallery, Chicago
PERFORMANCE ART can happen anywhere and for any length of time. RAPID PULSE approaches performance from a visual art perspective. As a potter uses clay, a performance artist uses the body, object, and space to sculpt time-based works of art. At once beautiful or grotesque, meditative or thrilling, solemn or funny, performance art ranges from explorations of the mundane to embodiments of edginess, risk, or pain.
