LISABIRD Contemporary

Während soziale Protestbewegungen um die Welt gehen, richtet auch LISABIRD REVOLUTIONARY! den Blick auf künstlerische Positionen in Film und Video, die sich mit Zeigeräumen des Auflehnens, der Resistenz und der Kontroverse befassen. Dabei findet in der Wiener Galerie LISABIRD Contemporary, die primär Malerei und Skulptur ausstellt, zum ersten Mal eine reine Film- und Videoschau statt. Talina Bauer und Sandra Voser präsentieren zeitgenössische Arbeiten, die mehr Fragen aufwerfen, als sie beantworten, denn immer wenn Dissens artikuliert wird, ist es gerade die Zitathaftigkeit performativer Äußerungen, die die Lesbarkeit des Widerständischen an den gesellschaftspolitischen Kontext koppelt. Das Sichtbarmachen von Widerstand, die Verbildlichung und damit auch die Konservierung von Protest - sei dies in der Alltagspraxis, in der Akzentuierung einzelner Handlungsabläufe oder im Streben nach politischen Utopien - forcieren eine Öffnung künstlerischer Diskurse. Revolutionär am außerordentlichen Sommerprojekt wird daher auch die Art der Vermittlung sein: Jeder Tag steht unter einem anderen thematischen Schwerpunkt. Anschließend an die Screenings werden die Arbeiten in interdisziplinäre Kontexte gestellt und in Anwesenheit teilnehmender Künstler_innen besprochen. Liegestühle, Drinks und eine DJ-Line sorgen im kühlen Souterrain für eine entspannte Sommeratmosphäre. ////// English Version: The display of political resistance can be tracked down in everyday practises, in the field of specific action as well as in big utopian ideas. As recent protest movements have sparked across the world, LISABIRD REVOLUTIONARY! takes a look at contemporary film and video art focusing on rebellion, revolt and opposition. At Lisabird Contemporary, a Vienna-based art gallery with an emphasis on painting and sculpture, it will be the first film and video show ever, curated by Talina Bauer and Sandra Voser. The exhibition „Performativität des Widerstands" (Performativity of Resistance) wants to create an interdisciplinary platform for exchange as we are looking for interfaces of the works presented. On every exhibition day, a screening will form a focal point. Subsequently, selected speakers from different fields related to the subject discuss the topic whereas the audience is welcome to participate in the dialogue. Freitag 6.

"PARALLEL VIENNA 2013 is a platform for innovative forms of presentation of contemporary art. Project spaces, artist-run spaces, artists and art collectives as well as new and established galleries present a dazzling plurality of art practices beyond any limits of age, medium or fame. PARALLEL VIENNA 2013 is open October 9-13, coinciding with Viennafair, in the "ehemalige K. u. K. Telegrafenamt at Börseplatz 1 in Vienna. Only 4 sub\-way stops away from the fair\-grounds. The building offers thousands of square meters of un\-con\-ven\-tional exhibition spaces in the impressive architecture of a viennese city palais from the 19th century. The initiators - a team of galerists, organizers and curators - intend to make a diverse selection of projects and perspectives accessible to a large audience and under a single roof. The kafkaesque building sets an exceptional stage for a large variety of contemporary art practices, where innovative and established art can be discovered and recontextualised. The organisers see the participants as the essential foundation of the internationally renowned Vienna art scene. These galleries and spaces are responsible for helping to develop and establish local and international artists and art movements in this city. An innovative curatorial model allows to integrate commercial and experimental initatives without introducing any kind of hierarchy. This allows the audience to witness the coexistence of different approaches, making PARALLEL VIENNA 2013 relevant to everyone curious about art and culture. At the same time it presents an opportunity to establish and intensify the network of exchange among the participants. PARALLEL VIENNA 2013 avoids any tendency to replace unique approaches and individual models of its participants with existing structural patterns. The participating artists, spaces and galleries are given the maximum possible freedom in their exhibition design, within the evident limits of mutual interests and respect. An exciting program of events and performances is set to take place throughout the entire weekend. [Quelle: http://www.parallelvienna.com/]

Parallel Vienna 2015 is a fully curated show entitled “Another Destination”. The Parallel Vienna curator team chooses galleries, artists and curators and additionally invites project spaces which fit into the overall concept. In cooperation with the Austrian Federal Chancellery, a group of six independent curators will be chosen by the Parallel team to design their own space. This year, galleries, artists, project spaces and curators will be exclusively invited and selected by Parallel Vienna. In 2015, Parallel Vienna is using the extensive premises of the Alte Post in the first district as a platform for contemporary art, thereby creating a unique framework. Parallel Vienna pools the urban forces of contemporary art production and offers an insight into different scenes, communities and areas of Vienna. Parallel Vienna presents young and aspiring as well as established artistic works and collects art initiatives of every kind – art associations, galleries, project spaces, curated project spaces and artist spaces – all under one roof. Parallel Vienna therefore combines streams of Viennese artistic creation with international trends and contributes to the active networking of young creative people by establishing a professional platform for them in the extensive space of the Alte Post. Parallel Vienna 2015 is an art show, exhibition, gallery and studio. As a meta-organisation whose do-it-yourself (DIY) principle translates into the infrastructure of the artistic institution, the exhibition platform manages itself: a trading centre for new ideas and a dedicated testing ground for self-professionalisation. This year, Parallel Vienna presents an insight into and divergent works of new and established contemporary art for the third time with more than 400 national and international artists, 20 galleries, 40 project spaces and 42 artist spaces, as well as 15 independent curators.
