Culture Vienna 17

curated by_ Martin Arnold: Blinking | Martin Arnold, Runa Islam, Owen Land
People tend to blink between 8 and 41 times per minute. This means that, during this time frame, a person is, on average, blind for about 6 seconds. Traditional motion pictures, too, flicker, projecting 24 frames per second, which are interrupted by 48 phases of complete darkness. (…)

Terry Fox,
Alex Hubbard,
Stuart Sherman,
Misha Stroj,
Lisa Williamson,
Virginie Yassef
The artists in this exhibition have been chosen from two different time periods: the late sixties and seventies (i.e. the first years of video art) and today. In both cases, these are works that develop their “amateur” approach, understanding an amateur as one who appreciates art and who engages with a medium by his own means. (…)

Danai Anesiadou,
Cory Arcangel,
Anetta Mona Chişa & Lucia Tkáčová,
Assaf Gruber,
Guillaume Paris,
Andreas Reiter Raabe,
Thomas Stimm & Leopold Redl
Taking its title from Luis Buñuel, the exhibition approaches the question of cinema from a critical and sometimes ironic perspective. Free of any fascination with the mass audience, it seeks to establish less evident relations between art and film, therefore limiting the number of works using moving image while including sculpture, photographs, performance etc. (…)

curated by_ VALIE EXPORT: Mrs. Roberts is gonna be late | Daniel Pitín,
Tomáš Svoboda
“In ‘expanded cinema’ – expanded arts – the film phenomenon is initially split up into its formal components, and then put back together again in a new way. The operations of the collective union which is film, such as the screen, the cinema theater, the projector, light and celluloid, are partially replaced by reality in order to install new signs of the real.” (VALIE EXPORT Expanded Cinema as Expanded Reality, 1991)

The exhibition “You’re scripted!” brings together a variety of works by international artists that all, in some way or another, relate to the topic of film without necessarily operating within the medium of film. The curator consciously looks for artistic approaches within the field of performance or that deal with references to film. (…)

curated by_ Ursula Mayer: The Last Days of Jack Sheppard | Anja Kirschner,
David Panos
“The Last Days of Jack Sheppard” is presented within an installation fabricated from elements of the original set and a display of archival material including prints and popular cultural artifacts relating to Jack Sheppard. This laying bare of the film’s structural elements plays on the notion of the “historical construct“ and provides clues to the interpretation of the many references contained within the film. (…)

Culture Vienna 25

curated by_ Tony Oursler: Lapsed Cinematic | Erik Aalto,
Martin Murphy,
J.D. Walsh
These artists live in the wake of the lapsed cinematic. That is to say, simply, that the linear spectacle of classical, cinematic narrative has expired. Erik Aalto, Martin Murphy and J.D. Walsh, are unique in their endeavor to find new meaning in the syntax of installation and moving image, finding themselves at the forefront of both art and cinema in this “Lapsed Cinematic” moment.

For his contribution to curated by_vienna 2010, Mathias Poledna has invited Los Angeles-based artist Karthik Pandian to collaborate on an installation at Galerie Meyer Kainer.

Erik Schmidt,
Katharina Sieverding,

The Berlin-based artist Erik Schmidt will display an array of cinematic works dealing with the different depiction and utilization of space.

Nilbar Güres,
Nicolas Jasmin,
Ivan Moudov,
Paul Pfeiffer,
Renata Poljak,
Nives Widauer
The issue of physicality has been of central concern since the popularization of gender relations in many artworks and the advent of a heightened sense for visual representations of the body in public space. Despite a ubiquitous focus on various gender constellations, the functionality of the body in relation to physical activities has also been examined by artists and media theorists due to the onslaught of advertising which propagates and lives up to the notion of the “perfect body”.
