Über die Performance i could have been you:
Die performative Malaktion I could have been you knüpft an die gleichnamige Serie an, welche der in Wien und Niederösterreich lebende Künstler Reinhold Zisser von 2015 bis 2019 entwickelte.
Im Zentrum der Performance steht das wiederholte Malen von Bildern, die je zweimal produziert werden. Auf den ersten Blick wirken die jeweiligen Bilder ident. Erst auf den zweiten, genaueren Blick wird klar, dass jedes Detail einzigartig, und die Bilder unterschiedlich sind.

Beide Gemälde existieren nebeneinander und spiegeln die Vorstellung von parallelen Möglichkeiten wider. Das wiederholte Malen untersucht die Vorstellung von Identität, als ein Dispositiv welches nicht starr aufgefasst werden kann, sondern sich stets im Prozess des Werdens befindet. Die Arbeiten behaupten in ihrem ähnlichen Nebeneinander, dass jede Person oder jedes Kunstwerk auch ein anderes hätte sein können. Dies steht im Kontrast zu einem fixierten Subjekt, das in klar definierten Bahnen existiert.

About

SKULPTURES PLÖCKING

Artists:
Istvan Antal / Brigitte Kowanz / Annie Laakso / Imre Nagy / Esther Stocker / Reinhold Zisser

 

a project by Reinhold Zisser / LLLLLL Association for Contemporary Art

SKULPTUREN PLÖCKING is an art in public space project realized in Lower Austria near Maria Gugging. The project forms the gap between an established art and cultural discourse at the location and the unique habitat of the Vienna Woods. The aim of the project is to create a space in which artists and visitors can experience the interaction between art and nature together. The Plöcking is a so-called goods road and, running over a hill, connects Maria Gugging with Hintersdorf over a length of almost four kilometers. From the highest point, the view opens up over Klosterneuburg, as far as Vienna and the wind turbines in the Marchfeld behind it. In the first phase of the project, five sculptures by six artists will be installed along this path. THE ORIGIN AND FUTURE of the project can be traced back to art projects in public space, which began in 2015 with the Notgalerie project and have built up a network of national and international artists over a period of almost 10 years. On the other hand, and this is related to the tasks of the Notgalerie project, the aim of SKULPTUREN PLÖCKING in the coming years is to create a place in Hintersdorf that brings together artists and visitors. CULTURAL LANDSCAPE MUSEUM GUGGING / ISTA / SKULPTUREN PLÖCKING thus creates a bridge that connects the cultural location of Gugging with the small village of Hintersdorf in the Vienna Woods. The institutions located in the immediate vicinity are the Museum Gugging and the ISTA. The Museum Gugging has been the museum center of the artists living there since 2006. It represents the body of Art Brut work developed at this location over a much longer period of time and keeps it alive. The ISTA (Institute of Science and Technology Austria) is a young international institute dedicated to basic scientific research and postgraduate education and promotes a discourse on contemporary art at the interface with science. This constellation enables visitors to experience the institutionally shaped art-culture discourse as a transition to the intimate, personal experience of nature and landscape.
