Exploring Art and Thought with Natascha Gruver & Andrea Hubin at Kunsthalle Wien Atelier and in the exhibition Aleksandra Domanović
We kindly ask you to register in advance at besucherservice@kunsthallewien.at or directly at the cash desk in Kunsthalle Wien Museumsquartier. The number of participants is limited.
The conversation is free with an exhibition ticket and will be held in German, English and/or without words, depending on the situation.
In her exhibition, Aleksandra Domanović examines the connections between technological, historical and cultural developments. Her works of art are condensed monuments of the Internet age and question how it has changed ‘the world’. But what is ‘the world’?
The physicist and feminist philosopher of science and technology Karen Barad also deals with this question. She speaks of ‘world-making practices’, meaning that the ‘world’ is created by us as an entanglement of the material and the immaterial. In Aleksandra Domanović’s exhibition, too, steadfast objects are combined with personal narratives, scientific findings with techno-cultural community rituals, and digital artefacts with mysterious creatures.
We invite you to travel a thinking space with us. By reading, sensing, speaking, moving, perceiving and connecting we inquire ‘How are we situated in the world?’. Explore the exhibition in a series of open conversations to link the art and selected philosophical texts (by Donna Haraway, Karen Barad, or Ursula Le Guin) with questions of our technological present.
Natascha Gruver teaches philosophy at the University of Vienna and is working in the field of outreach and public philosophy, e.g. at Radio Orange 94.0 (Philosophische Brocken) and as part of the Socrates Project 2021/2022 of the Central European University.
Andrea Hubin is part of the art education team at Kunsthalle Wien.
