Publication Nicola L.: I Am The Last Woman Object

This fully illustrated monograph marks the occasion of the first European survey of Nicola L. (1932–2018). Often discussed in the context of Pop Art, activism, feminism, and design, this is the first in-depth exploration of the multi-layered and expansive nature of her extraordinary practice, which also encompassed cosmology, environmental concerns, spirituality, political protest, and sexuality.

With new scholarly essays translated into English, French, Italian, and German, and supplementary texts on major bodies of work, Nicola L. I Am The Last Woman Object offers novel perspectives on the artist’s practice from some of the exhibitions’ curators: Gina Buenfeld-Murley, Martin Clark, Géraldine Gourbe, and Leonie Radine. Together, they reflect on her life in Paris, Ibiza, Beirut, and New York, situating her within the politics and the social movements of her time. They also bring her work fully into the present by placing it in the context of the social, political, and ecological challenges facing the world today, thus enabling the resonance of her extraordinary practice to continue more than half a century after she began working. Taken together, the texts reveal Nicola L.’s remarkable and lifelong commitment to art, creativity, and radical subversion, presenting a long overdue appraisal of a practice that straddled many movements and styles in twentieth-century art but resolutely defied categorisation.

Publication Kunsthalle Wien Preis 2024

The 2024 edition of the Kunsthalle Wien Preis exhibition is accompanied by a new book published in German and English by Kunsthalle Wien.

The Kunsthalle Wien Preis seeks to support emerging artists living and working in Vienna via an annual collaboration between Kunsthalle Wien, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and the University of Applied Arts Vienna.

For this edition, Rawan Almukhtar and Ida Kammerloch were selected by a jury of curators and artists including representatives from all three institutions. Each received a monetary award in addition to a joint solo exhibition and publication organised by Kunsthalle Wien.

Rawan Almukhtar studied Fine Art (Art and Intervention | Concept) at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. The paintings and drawings take inspiration from Almukhtar’s experiences as a refugee and activist. Through the practice, Almukhtar seeks to create a collective moment of witnessing the stories of those who have been overlooked in the West, while also questioning the ways in which such people should be considered.

Ida Kammerloch studied TransArts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Her recent video essays draw upon her grandfather’s archive of homemade videos. Recorded in post-Soviet Russia in the 1990s, they document a time of significant political and social change. Kammerloch likewise contrasts the uncanny difference between state-constructed Russian identity and the lived realities of its citizens today, using her personal family narrative to anchor such storytelling.

The book contains a foreword by Michelle Cotton, Artistic Director of Kunsthalle Wien, Johan F. Hartle, Rector of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, and Petra Schaper Rinkel, former Rector of the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Interviews between the artists and the exhibition curator Hannah Marynissen, as well as specially-commissioned essays by Alicja Melzacka and Rijin Sahakian, further illustrate the practices of the artists.

The Kunsthalle Wien Preis 2024 is realized with the kind and generous support of Kunsttrans and smc Steirer Mika & Comp.

Rawan Almukhtar (b. 1991, Baghdad, Iraq) lives and works in Vienna.

Ida Kammerloch (b. 1991, Izhevsk, Russia) lives and works in Vienna.

Publication Diego Marcon. La Gola

On the occasion of Diego Marcon’s first solo exhibition in Austria at Kunsthalle Wien in October 2024, Kunsthalle Wien is publishing a book on Marcon’s film La Gola in collaboration with Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève and Kunstverein in Hamburg. In addition to a foreword by Michelle Cotton, Artistic Director of Kunsthalle Wien, Milan Ther, Director of Kunstverein in Hamburg, and Andrea Bellini, Director of the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève, the publication brings together three essays that illuminate the film from as many angles. Themes such as food, illness and symptoms, language and music are the starting point for the digressions of the contributors, namely the writer and artist Charlie Fox, the art and food lover Gianni Revello and the artist and art writer Sofia Silva.

The volume is supplemented by excerpts from the script and from the scores of the organ music as well as frames from the film and images of the production process therefore enabling the reader a kind of ‘making of-’perspective. There is a translation booklet for the German and Italian text versions, added to the main English book.

The publication is supported by the Directorate General for Contemporary Creativity within the Italian Ministry of Culture under the Italian Council programme (2024).

Diego Marcon (b. 1985, Busto Arsizio, Italy) lives and works in Milan.

The exhibition as a learning space x Genossin Sonne
Download Eine Ausstellung als Lernort

Inspired by the themes of the exhibition Genossin Sonne [Comrade Sun], students from the Institute for Education in the Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna developed teaching units as part of the course “An exhibition as a place of learning”. Over several weeks, they taught pupils from the Aspern Modular Middle School (MMS) in project lessons. As a result of the collaboration, the pupils’ work was presented at Kunsthalle Wien Museumsquartier in June 2024.

The booklet documents the workshops and provides ideas for art teachers and adults who want to realise artistic activities together with (their) children. The starting points for the individual workshops were both artistic techniques and selected artistic positions from the exhibition.

In cooperation with The Academy Goes to School.

You can download the booklet for free in German and get it at the exhibition Genossin Sonne, which – like all our exhibitions – is free of charge for children and young people under the age of 19. The art education team offers free programmes for schools for all exhibitions.

The exhibition Genossin Sonne is a collaboration between Kunsthalle Wien, Wiener Festwochen | Freie Republik Wien and Klimabiennale Wien and is on view at Kunsthalle Wien Museumsquartier until 1 September 2024.

Erotic Revue

In their first collaborative project, Šejla Kamerić and Aleksandra Vajd revisit the idea of eroticism within a contemporary context by presenting a special issue of a magazine, “Erotic Revue”. The main inspiration and reference for the publication is the magazine “Eroticka Revue”, which was published in Prague in the early 1930s by a Surrealist group. Both artists are particularly interested in using art as a strong communicative mechanism to create powerful political and social statements.

“Erotic Revue” presents two women’s bodies and their intimate bond that goes beyond the usual confines of predefined relationship forms and statuses. The artists challenge norms by asking what happens when the components of relationships – such as emotional intimacy, physical intimacy, sexual intimacy, enduring partnerships, caregiving, collaboration, kinks, social companionship, and the dynamics of power – are mixed. They explore the space of digital intimacy in the context of the erotic, contrast the digital nude with the traditional nude, and create a strong visual language that uses their own mature bodies to rewrite women’s stories.

The magazine was presented as an installation in the exhibition Darker, Lighter, Puffy, Flat.

Publication The White West

The White West. Fascism, Unreason, and the Paradox of Modernity is the result of a series of conferences. The third conference, Automating Apartheid, took place in 2020 at Kunsthalle Wien by invitation of the artistic directors What, How & for Whom / WHW (Ivet Ćurlin, Nataša Ilić and Sabina Sabolović).

Ever since neofascist movements began to surge across the globe, liberal commentators have tried to put a name to what they are defending from these illiberal ideologies. The consensus is reason or rationality – after the Second World War, mainstream scholarship has supported the view that adherence to fascism is a thing of unreason. This distinction between reason and unreason, a tenet of Enlightenment thought, sustains the universal appeal of liberal democracy but leaves unexamined the paradoxes that haunt modernity, particularly its colonial foundation, thus obscuring the continuities between fascism and imperial policies.

The White West contends that, without confronting the structuring force of race in the production and reproduction of global wealth disparities, fighting for reason only leads to flawed utopias in which a critique or disruption of capitalism is easily inflected in the direction of neofascism. This collection of writing by leading historians, theorists, and scholars is an attempt to engage the overlaps between philosophical predicates and colonial legacies, as well as the undertheorized continuities between fascism and settler colonialism.

Publication Ines Doujak. Twisted Language

In the context of Ines Doujak’s exhibition Geistervölker, Kunsthalle Wien and Sternberg Press publish a book that looks deeply into the artist’s practice. In the exhibition, curated by What, How & for Whom / WHW, the artist traced, in fragments, the origins of pandemics throughout history and linked them to a global economy that is based on logics of extraction facilitated by colonial legal mechanisms and late capitalism.

These subjects have always been present in Doujak’s works. Therefore, it felt crucial to have a book that allows several writers, theoreticians, and poets from different geographies to reflect on the political and aesthetic strategies that Doujak has been using during these past thirty years. The book is not a monograph nor a catalogue but rather a mosaic of texts in dialogue with Ines Doujak’s Oeuvre, which engage with burning and urgent topics such as how we relate to the world around us and to each other.

Publication Katrina Daschner. BURN & GLOOM! GLOW & MOON!

BURN & GLOOM! GLOW & MOON! was published in the context of the solo exhibition by Katrina Daschner at Kunsthalle Wien 2022.

BURN & GLOOM! GLOW & MOON! at Kunsthalle Wien was the most comprehensive exhibition of Vienna-based artist and filmmaker Katrina Daschner’s work to date. It encompassed works from the 1990s to the present, ranging from sculptures, textiles, music, performance, community-based work, and, most prominently, film, which sits at the heart of Daschner’s practice.

Addressing and performing the ways of being and nonbeing, Daschner’s multimedia, all-encompassing, powerful work is about becoming, making one feel less alone.
Hana Ostan Ožbolt

Glamorous Lesbians, Badass Queers, Flirtatious Sensual Plants and Swamps; it’s like having your abstract desires turn into images you can touch.
Denice Bourbon

The possibilities of queer form and life feel endless in Daschner’s work. Surfaces – of skin, jellyfish, water, hair, glitter, wool, bark – flow in and out of each other, assembling a body of work that simply leaves you in awe and always wanting more.

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.
