A Tragical Romance ist eine ber\u00fchrende Ausstellung, die das transzendente Potenzial des menschlichen K\u00f6rpers anhand der Werke der K\u00fcnstlerinnen Leah Clements, Rebecca Jagoe, Korallia Stergides und Marianne Vlaschits untersucht. Die K\u00fcnstlerinnen gehen \u00fcber die konventionellen Grenzen der menschlichen Form hinaus und erforschen nicht-menschliche Verbindungen, indem sie die nat\u00fcrlichen und \u00fcbernat\u00fcrlichen Bereiche einbeziehen, um eine Erz\u00e4hlung von Einheit und Verbundenheit zu schaffen.<\/p>\n
Die Ausstellung stellt die Perspektive der normativen K\u00f6rper in Frage und zeigt, wie Begehren, Liebe und Intimit\u00e4t neue Formen der Verk\u00f6rperung von Crip-Kultur f\u00f6rdern k\u00f6nnen. Die in A Tragical Romance gezeigten Werke besch\u00e4ftigen sich mit Elementen wie Wasser, Steinen, Geistern und Tieren und laden den Betrachter ein, eine \u00dcberidentifikation mit der Au\u00dfenwelt zu \u00fcberdenken. Diese Verschiebung wird durch verschiedene Medien wie Fotografie, Skulptur, Malerei und Performance zum Ausdruck gebracht, wobei der Text als zentrale Achse f\u00fcr diese Erkundung dient.<\/p>\n
Die Kunstwerke spiegeln eine tiefe Sentimentalit\u00e4t wider und thematisieren die Fantasie der \u00dcberwindung der Kluft zwischen Mensch und Nicht-Mensch sowie die d\u00fcstere Realit\u00e4t unserer toxischen Beziehung zur Natur angesichts der Klimazerst\u00f6rung. Die Ausstellung zieht Parallelen zur Epoche der Romantik, die f\u00fcr ihre intensiven Gef\u00fchle und ihre Faszination f\u00fcr das Erhabene bekannt war. Wie die Romantiker bewegen sich auch diese zeitgen\u00f6ssischen Werke im Spannungsfeld zwischen Sch\u00f6nheit und Dunkelheit und erforschen Themen wie Trauer, Verlust und die Zerbrechlichkeit des Lebens. Auf diese Weise bieten sie eine kontemplative Reflexion \u00fcber die Sterblichkeit, insbesondere unter dem Aspekt von Krankheit und Behinderung.<\/p>\n

Between Flesh and Fantasy: Performances
\nSamstag, 14. September, 17:30 Uhr<\/p>\n
Low Roaming Cloud by Korallia Stergides is a meditative journey through the landscapes of mourning and sensorial memory. In a blend of poetry, performance, and song, Stergides weaves together personal loss with reflections on childhood, illness, and care, creating a space where the boundaries between human and animal, self and other, blur. This work challenges the distinctions between species and the material world, while also exploring the embodied experiences of illness. Stergides invites us to consider how memory and materiality intertwine, reflecting the delicate balance between presence and absence in a world where all beings are interconnected.<\/p>\n
with your teeth by Rebecca Jagoe delves into the intense fear of change and the yearning for permanence in romantic obsession. Using metaphors of cannibalism and the unsettling mating rituals of deep-sea anglerfish, Jagoe examines how desire can slip into possessiveness, how the longing for love can become a desire to merge, to lose oneself in another. This performance questions the boundaries of individual identity and explores the dissolution of self into a larger, unchanging entity. It also contemplates the complexities of bodies, love, and the desire for a future free of pain and uncertainty.<\/p>\n
Trigger Warning:
\nThese performances contain intense themes of anxiety, loss, and desire for extreme closeness. It includes graphic descriptions of body invasion and fusion, sexual content, raw meat, blood and references to death and cannibalism. Viewer discretion is advised.
\nExistential Themes and Dissolution \u2013 Existential discussions about the self, stasis, and a desire to dissolve into the universe or the ocean.<\/p>\n
Between Flesh and Fantasy: A Conversation on Bodies and Archives
\nMittwoch, 16. Oktober\u00a0 18:00 Uhr<\/p>\n
As part of the group exhibition A Tragical Romance for Curated By, this conversation brings together artist Marianne Vlaschits, curator Mariana Lemos, and historian-theorist Lisa Moravec to explore the intersections of the body, archives, and the cosmos. Using Vlaschits\u2019 paintings Celestial Mechanics and Glitch Music 2.0 as focal points, we will discuss how these works frame the body as an archive and the archive as a living body.<\/p>\n
Celestial Mechanics draws inspiration from 16th-century scientific illustrations in the archives of the Institute for Astrophysics at the University of Vienna, transforming these historical images to blur the lines between the celestial and the human. Glitch Music 2.0 connects the stuttering rhythms of neutron stars with the elemental composition of our bodies, reflecting Vlaschits\u2019 own experience of stuttering as an embodied archive, intertwining personal and cosmic narratives.<\/p>\n
The discussion will also delve into how Vlaschits\u2019 work resonates with the exhibition\u2019s themes, particularly in exploring new perspectives on embodiment and the limits of human identity. We will consider how her art redefines the boundaries between the human and non-human, and examine how artistic practice itself can serve as a living archive of both personal and universal histories.<\/p>\n
