Publication Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński. H(a)untings / Heim-Suchungen

H(a)untings / Heim-Suchungen was published in the context of the solo exhibition by Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński at Kunsthalle Wien in 2021/2022.

To challenge hegemonic archives, and with them the representations of Blackness inhabiting these very spaces, is to struggle for connection, voice, language, not least for images. Even more so in a time and space in which the stickiness of a colonial past is dismissed. Dealing with the hauntings and echoes of Austria’s colonial past, Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński – visual artist, writer, and recipient of the Camera Austria Prize 2021 – sets the stage for the what-if, while confronting viewers with the violence of the Western gaze. Introducing readers to a multiplicity of voices – artists, thinkers, and scholars with whom she is in conversation and communion – the artist’s catalog opens a space for Black diasporan artistic practices. Here, the reverberating echoes and residues of a past ongoing become visible as effects in what we have come to call “the present”.

Publication And if I devoted my life to one of its feathers?

The publication And if I devoted my life to one of its feathers? Aesthetic Responses to Extraction, Accumulation, and Dispossession was published in the context of the group exhibition of the same name presented by Kunsthalle Wien in 2021 together with Wiener Festwochen. The publication was edited by the curator of the exhibition, Miguel A. López.

The written contributions reflect – like the exhibited works – on the rationale of exploitation, the fast-paced mining of raw materials, and environmental destruction as a colonial legacy. They deconstruct Western patriarchal models and enduring colonial and racist discourses, tell the story of Indigenous survival in the face of ancestral genocide, and celebrate encounters defined by solidarity in their resistance to misogyny, imperialist violence, and state oppression.

With a foreword by What, How & for Whom / WHW and Christophe Slagmuylder.

(Don’t) Drive yourself crazy!
Download Publication Mach dich (nicht) verrückt!

The project Mach dich (nicht) verrückt! [(Don’t) Drive yourself crazy!] took place as a cooperation between OeAD – Agency for Education and Internationalisation, Basis.Kultur.Wien – GO.FOR.CULTURE and Kunsthalle Wien and was carried out as part of the series K3-PROJEKTE. Cultural education with apprentices between December 2021 and June 2022. Twenty students from the Viennese vocational school Handel@Administration took part.

A related series of workshops was developed by Kunsthalle Wien’s education team in cooperation with the comic artist Viktoria Strehn, who also conceptualized and conducted the workshops, together with art educators Wolfgang Brunner and Michael Simku.

Starting from the exhibition Do Nothing, Feel Everything, which was on view at Kunsthalle Wien Karlsplatz from November 2021 until April 2022, we looked at madness as an issue and also tried to talk about forms of consciousness, systems of thought, and ways of producing meaning.

Based on the artistic positions of the exhibition, the focus of our education project was on the question of how far madness could also be understood as a form of knowledge or how it is possible for us to make our inner exposures productive. The apprentices were instructed to draw avatars who then appeared in comics and told their story(ies). This also enabled the students to distance themselves from overly personal statements. All the stories were collected in the publication Mach dich (nicht) verrückt! [(Don’t) Drive yourself crazy!]. The project of the same name was conceived as a workshop series and consisted of three three-hour-long workshops and an exhibition visit. It concluded with a presentation of the publication at Kunsthalle Wien Karlsplatz.

The publication Mach dich (nicht) verrückt! [(Don’t) Drive yourself crazy!]  is available at Kunsthalle Wien or can be downloaded here.
