Herta Müller Technique ZINE-WORKSHOP by Deniz Güvensoy & Sezer Dilan Zırhlı

Feminist Zine Workshop – Cordial Invitation for all Women* & Flinta*

WHEN:

Friday 15th March 5-8pm

Saturday 16th March 5-8pm

WHERE: 

Mz*Baltazar’s Laboratory (Jägerstraße 52-54, 1200 Vienna)


Inspired by the Herta Müller technique of “collage-poetic” writing, in this workshop, we will elevate word collages and writing with images into true poetic works of art – a combination of scissors and paper with profound meaning. We encounter words everywhere, and each one of them is capable of telling a whole story. We will cut out letters and words from newspapers, magazines, and advertising brochures together. With our life plans, experiences, and a feminist sense of design, we will set these fragments into new texts and compose captivating collages.

Inspiriert von der Herta-Müller-Technik des “collage-poetischen” Schreibens, werden wir in diesem Workshop Wortcollagen und das Schreiben mit Bildern zu wahren poetischen Kunstwerken erheben – eine Kombination aus Schere und Papier mit tiefsinniger Bedeutung. Worte begegnen uns überall, und jedes von ihnen ist in der Lage, eine ganze Geschichte zu erzählen. Wir werden gemeinsam Buchstaben und Wörter aus Zeitungen, Zeitschriften und Werbebroschüren ausschneiden. Mit unseren Lebensentwürfen, Erfahrungen und einem feministischen Sinn für Gestaltung setzen wir diese Fragmente zu neuen Texten zusammen und komponieren fesselnde Collagen.

Herta Müller’in “kolaj-şiirsel” yazı tekniğinden esinlenen bu atölyede, kelime kolajlarını ve imgelerle yazmayı makas ve kağıdın derin anlamlarla birleşimine ve şiirsel sanat eserlerine dönüştüreceğiz. Tek bir kelime bütün bir hikayeyi anlatma kapasitesine sahiptir. Onlarla her yerde karşılaşırız. Gazetelerden, dergilerden ve reklam broşürlerinden kestiğimiz harfleri ve kelimeleri, hayat planlarımız, deneyimlerimiz ve feminist bir tasarım anlayışıyla yeni metinlere dönüştürecek ve büyüleyici kolajlar oluşturacağız.

“Riot im Riot” ist eine spielerische Auseinandersetzung mit verschiedenen feministischen Strategien der Vergangenheit. Ehemalige Bühnenelemente und Kostüme erzählen von vergangenen Riots.

Berenice Pahl holt Feministinnen der Vergangenheit in die Gegenwart, Christina Jaques, Olivia Jaques und Anna Watzinger versuchen mit verschiedenen performativen Interventionen die Selbstermächtigung sowohl in urbanen Raumgefügen als auch im www zu erproben (“Was hat Datenschutz mit Emanzipation und dem Spiegel-Phänomen zu tun?”) und Conny Zenk lädt mit ihrem multidimensionalen “Soundride” ein zur Partizipation – auf ihren Spuren Withness Marlies Surtmann: Riot und Ride, Riot im Riot, Re-claiming the (imaginative) space.

“Riot im Riot” is a playful exploration of different feminist strategies of the past. Former stage elements and costumes talk about past riots. Resistance may be imagined through mental performative translations based on the various elements by Ruth Erharter, Aylin Mutluer and Caro Wiltschek.

In ihrer Werkserie Das Fotostudio beleuchtet Lisa Großkopf soziale Normengerüste unserer Gegenwart aus einer kritisch-feministischen Perspektive. Die Künstlerin inszeniert fiktive Fotostudios in den Schaufenstern ehemaliger Geschäftslokale und zeigt darin queere Bildwelten. Mal durch subtile Eingriffe, mal durch plakative Modifikationen erzeugt Großkopf irritierende Verschiebungen, die herkömmliche Vorstellungen von Geschlechterrollen unterlaufen. So gibt es in ihren Installationen beispielsweise gegenhegemoniale Lebensentwürfe, pluralistische Beziehungsformen und nicht-binäre Geschlechtsidentitäten zu entdecken. Vor dem Hintergrund, dass konventionelle Fotostudios oftmals ein konservatives Familienmodell vermitteln und tradierte Rollenbilder reproduzieren, stellt die Künstlerin die zunehmende Diversifizierung von Familienstrukturen und die Demontage geschlechtsspezifischer Zuschreibungen zur Diskussion. Die Schauinszenierung im Fotostudio als Mittel kritischer Wirklichkeitsdekonstruktion, verdeutlicht wie durch die Kraft der Fotografie, der traditionell abbildende Eigenschaften beigemessen werden und der demgemäß eine realitätsnahe Wiedergabe der Welt zugetraut wird, bestimmte Sehgewohnheiten und Stereotype über Jahrzehnte weitergetragen werden oder eben auch verändert werden könnten. Indem Großkopf den semi-öffentlichen Raum des Schaufensters bespielt, lädt sie eine breite Öffentlichkeit zum Dialog über den gegenwärtigen gesellschaftlichen Wandel ein.

ENGLISH VERSION
Lisa Großkopf’s series “The Photographic Studio” explores social norms in our contemporary society from a critical feminist perspective. The artist stages fictional photo studios in the storefronts of former shops and showcases queer visual imagery. Through subtle interventions or striking modifications, Großkopf creates unsettling shifts that undermine traditional notions of gender roles. Her installations showcase counter-hegemonic lifestyles, pluralistic forms of relationships, and non-binary gender identities.
Given that conventional photo studios often convey a conservative family model and reproduce traditional gender roles, the artist’s work discusses the increasing diversification of family The staging in the photo studio as a means of critical deconstruction of reality demonstrates how photography, traditionally attributed to its representational qualities, leads to the reproduction of certain habits of seeing and stereotypes over decades, or how it could potentially be changed. By using the semi-public space of the shop window, Großkopf invites a broad public to engage in a dialogue about current societal changes.

Mz* Baltazar’s Lab is proud to announce the first exhibition of our 2023 program focusing on collaborative artist projects between female* identified artists.  

Celine Struger, Kristin Weissenberger & Patrícia J. Reis collaborated for the first time in a joint project on the intersection of ceramics and its cultural and feminist background. The artists coming from different backgrounds and practices aim to shed light on the emancipation history of female artists and their exploration of the relationship between ceramics, hacking and other fields of art.

The exhibition will feature the result of a collaboration that was initiated two years ago, highlighting  their recent collaborative action at the Donauinsel in Vienna, in which they reclaim public space as a radical attitude towards sustainable and ethical hardware, autonomy, and a DIY approach to ceramic production. Visitors will witness the group’s artwork, including their ceramics produced using traditional techniques, as well as the documentation of their action.

The collaboration journey began with their shared interest in ceramics and their exploration of traditional techniques to resist capitalist production methods. The group furthered their commitment to anti-capitalist practices by incorporating sustainable methods for producing ceramics. They continued their exploration of autonomy by reclaiming and hacking the city infrastructure and questioning the idea of public space and ownership.

The exhibition also aims to showcase feminist hacking as a strategy for emancipation in the art, science, and technology fields. This approach to new materialism promotes emancipation through the agency of materials, and visitors will be able to witness this in action throughout the exhibition.

The exhibition is also the third season of the serie titled Mud-Group, a project initiated by Kristin Weissenberger that revolves around the group’s collaborative and artistic process, using ceramics as their primary medium for exploration. The Mud-Group#3: Who Has Land to Make a Fire? is a project supported and co-financed by the Research PEEK Project Feminist Hacking: Building Circuits as an Artistic Practice, Financed by the FWF – Austrian Science Fund | PEEK (AR580) at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna conducted by Stefanie Wuschitz, Patrícia J. Reis and Taguhi Torosyan, who are co-curators in this exhibition. 

Mz* Baltazar’s Lab 2023 program is supported by Bundesministerium für Kunst, Kultur, öffentlichen Dienst und Sport (Kunst und Kultur) and the Kulturabteilung der Stadt Wien.

About the artists: 

Céline Struger

(*1982, Klagenfurt) beschäftigt sich mit Skulptur und Installation. Ihr Fokus liegt in der Neuverhandlung von Orten, sie befasst sich mit den Themenschwerpunkten Post-Kapitalismus, Ökologie und Mythologie. Struger stellte zuletzt bei She BAM! und in der MQ Art Box (solo) aus. Außerdem war sie an institutionellen Gruppenausstellungen im TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Artes und in Synagoga – Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst beteiligt

Kristin Weissenberger

(*1982, Stmk.) widmet sich in ihrer skulptural-installativen Praxis der Frage, wie wir, mit der uns umgebenden Sphäre aus Materie und Organismen, im Austausch stehen. Dabei beschäftigt sie sich vermehrt mit der Überlagerung und Neuverknüpfung sogenannter natürlicher, technischer, digitaler und handwerklicher Prozesse. Ihre Arbeiten wurden zuletzt in der Künstler:innenvereinigung MAERZ ausgestellt, davor führte sie ein Projekt in die Sub-Arktis, wo sie mit „Probe_Particle_Encounter“ eine Installation im Gelände einer Forschungsstation verwirklichte.

Patrícia J. Reis

(*1981, Lisbon) is a media-installation artist whose practice encompasses different formats and media to question and expand human-machine affinities through new materialism and feminist hacking lenses. In her installations she often appeals to the visitor’s sensoriality in an intimate and sensual way, encouraging them to become active participants. Her work was just recently exhibited at the Havana Biennial in Cuba, at the Kunstraum pro art, Hallein and at the Group Show „RGB EXPIRA: 2022“, Castelo e Paço dos Condes, Ourém, Portugal. In 2021 was awarded with the Outstanding Artist Award in Media Art by the Austrian Chancellery for Culture.

Sich mit der Welt auseinanderzusetzen heißt, in sie einzutauchen und in Resonanz mit ihr zu gehen.

In ihren Arbeiten geht Reni Hofmüller auf das Vorhandene ein: Menschen, die Umwelt und natürlich Klänge. Sounds, kleine und große Schnipsel aus der Vielzahl an Hörbarem und Unhörbarem. Sie nimmt, was da ist. Gebäude, Skulpturen, Werkzeuge, Materialien und natürlich Klänge – sie schaut sie sich genau an und haucht ihnen neues Leben ein. Sie versucht, neue Formen aus dem Istzustand zu entwickeln – sowohl in ihrer künstlerischen als auch in ihrer gesellschaftspolitischen Arbeit. Die Arbeiten von Reni Hofmüller sind eine Galaxie der Vorstellung einer resonanten Welt.

Resonating Sculptures & Radio Cyborg Transmitter RCT

Exhibition by Reni Hofmüller

Engaging with the world means immersing oneself in it, entering into resonance with it.

In all her works, Reni Hofmüller responds to what is there: people, the environment and, naturally, sounds. Sounds, small and large snippets from the plurality of the audible and inaudible. She takes what she finds there. Buildings, sculptures, tools, materials and of course sounds – she looks at them closely and breathes new life into them. She aims to develop new forms from the actual state – both in her artistic and in her socio-political work. Reni Hofmüller’s works are a galaxy of the vision of a resonant world.

Live performance and guided tour

Duration: 11th of February 2023 until 25th of February 2023

Breeder or Sucker

Charlotte Gash presents:

Breeder or Sucker;

The Tv Show

Breeder or Sucker; the TV show is a production about the lives and failures of art school students. The viewer follows a group of young people who are struggling; to secure an education; to be offered exhibitions and to get laid.

Breeder or Sucker delves into the mundane “everyday” aspects of being an artist. The series is made up of ten episodes, each 20-40 minutes long.

The scripts satirize situations of privilege and failure, whilst unapologetically commenting on female sexuality. The episodes also indulge in the time wasted procrastinating and partying.

Each episode is played out through the eyes of Charlotte Gash, a character based on the artist’s semi-autobiographical experiences. Gash uses cardboard props in her work – highlighting absurd and humorous aspects of real life.

“He makes us laugh to make us learn. There’s salvation in that.”

– John Lahr discussing Joe Orton’s play Loot

 SHORT BIO

Charlotte Gash is a British artist living and working in Vienna. She is currently completing her MA from the Akademie der Bildender Kunst under Carola Dertnig in the performance class. Gash takes inspiration from humorous, everyday situations and her work takes the form of text, sculpture, performance and video.
