Notebook
Burn The Diaries, Read Them Out Loud

A black notebook with the exhibition title is available for the exhibition Burn The Diaries, Read Them Out Loud. Focusing on text in the field of contemporary art the exhibiton incorporates a programme of performance, readings, discussions and exchange. Conceived as a group exhibition in progress, artworks installed at its inception will be in dialogue with numerous performative interventions taking place at and around Kunsthalle Wien Karlsplatz over a course of four months. Looking closely at the practice of annotating, editing and writing in art, the format of the exhibition considers text as the framework for or ‘skeleton’ of artmaking – expanding its status beyond the preliminary note. The exhibition serves as a page upon which artworks and performances are inscribed as interrelated notes – sampling, (mis)quoting and rehearsing themselves and one another.
