KUNSTHALLE EXNERGASSE

Understanding queerness not as an identity but as a strategy in times of change, the exhibition is a project within the festival Synergies of Solidarity organized by Queer Art Spaces Vienna celebrating the art and community. after the last ready-made curated by Dorian Bonelli and Frederik Marroquín focuses on textile work, crafting, and sensitivity.

The Workshop is part of the exhibtion "after the last ready-made". During this workshop we will reflect on our relationship with clothing, the concept of planned obsolescence, fleeting trends, perishable materials, and about repair as a post-capitalist care practice. Bring your favorite piece of clothing and one piece you would like to give away.

The Performance BICHO RARO is part of the exhibtion “after the last ready-made”.
BICHO RARO explores the world of bodybuilding – its lifestyle, routines, and aesthetics – revealing the tension between contemporary body cults and a queer perspective on the body.

Der Workshop findet im Rahmen der Ausstellung "after the last ready-made" statt und verbindet Bewegungsmeditation mit einer Einführung in Stimmübungen wie Growling und Stimmverzerrung. Es werden dynamische Atemübungen vermittelt, die die Stimmarbeit unterstützen. Auf kreativer Ebene regen diese die Teilnehmenden dazu an, eigene Mantras und Gesangsbeschwörungen zu entwickeln, die den tanzenden Körper beflügeln.

Auf der Grundlage von Interviews mit Künstler*innen, Architekt*innen, Forscher*innen, Stadtplaner*innen, Aktivist*innen und anderen Beteiligten versuchen wir uns einen ganzheitlichen Eindruck zu verschaffen. Aus den Erkenntnissen dieser unterschiedlichen Gespräche entfaltet sich schließlich die Visualisierung eines zukünftigen Stadtviertels in Form eines Video-Essays.

Here, art is made in the margins – between night feeds and school runs, between loss and life. It is made amidst leaking bodies and small sticky hands, in stolen minutes, in the gendered debris of daily life.

From Mexico to Albania, from former Yugoslavia to Afghanistan, from East Germany to Syria, there live generations of people whose sense of reality shattered from one moment to the next: a major shift in their country’s political landscape transformed every aspect of their daily life. Off the Precipice is a curated group exhibition with ten artists from different contexts where such a rupture took place.
