Text
Intervention at Counter 13 with Francesca Aldegani, Rosa Andraschek, Sebastian Grande, Anne Glassner, Theresa Hattinger, Matthias Kendler, Merve Sahin, Tsai-Ju Wu Showcase of artistic projects by alumni of the University of Applied Arts Vienna In its third edition, AIL Ping-Pong circles around the term and meaning of “collapse.” Presented in the small vitrine of the Otto Wagner Postsparkasse, eight graduates of the University of Applied Arts Vienna open a window into their diverse artistic practices, offering a range of perspectives that explore parallels, contrasts, or extensions within the given thematic framework. How do we navigate the tension between resistance and surrender? What forms of care, adaptation, or creativity can arise from breakdown? Collapse can be both an ending and a beginning – a sudden breakdown or a quiet unraveling. It might describe the fall of systems: ecological, economic, or political structures that no longer sustain themselves. It can also speak to personal or emotional states, the moments when bodies, relationships, or identities falter under pressure. Collapse is not only destruction; it is also transformation – the point at which something gives way so that something else might emerge. A project by AIL, supported by ARTist.
