"Circle as Space" is an installation made of circular forms, dealing with the perception of the human body in space through the fluid relation between its individual fragments. From the very beginning – even as a fetus in a womb – until the end of our life, we claim space through our growth and existence. According to the circumstances, we expand or contract the physical and the mental space we claim in a room. 

In 2015 Andrea Lüth and Gerald Roßbacher founded the artist-run-space KLUCKYLAND in the 20th district Brigittenau in Vienna. The art space has two glass fronts and is therefore maximally directed outwards. Alongside solo- and group-exhibitions, they organize various events in KLUCKYLAND, which form the basis of the social function of the space.

We offer you the possibility for a portfolio consultation:

The department's OPEN House will take place on Wednesday, December 15, 2021. Students, lecturers and the team of the department will be at Zoom at 10 am and 4 pm to answer all of your questions concerning our program.

We built this space for us, closed the doors and protected our site with transparency. You can go through without coming, feel without touching, have without taking. Stay for us in self reflection. Share the care of perfectionism, breaks, anxiety, сonfidence, time passing, identity, breeding and disruption.

At the very core of Nora Turato’s practice is language. In her work she translates information absorbed from her daily intake of articles, conversations, subtitles and advertising slogans into linguistic-visual scripts for videos, installations, artist books, murals and spoken word performances.

Sharing similar biographies in their education both as photographers and artists, Lisa Rastl and Claudia Rohrauer observe aspects of the photographic from within their applied working practice in order to turn them into the motifs of their artistic work. The technical and sociocultural foundations of the medium, but also Rastl and Rohrauers individual and personal working experiences serve as a pool of potential contents and tools to research photography and to photograph research at the same time.

„Land, Ownership and Commons“

„A picture held us captive. And we could not get outside it, for it lay in our language and language seemed to repeat it to us inexorably“, wrote the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein in his work Philosophical Investigations. This course is dedicated to the „inexorable language“: the private, maybe even secret language - the mother tongue.

Ortsspezifische Performances hinterfragen – im Wiederstand gegen einen neoliberalen performativen Leistungsbegriff – ihr eigenes Potenzial, indem sie ihre medialen Grenzen performativ abschreiten und dadurch sichtbar machen: Spekulation statt Spektakel. Sie entwickeln Aufmerksamkeit für performative Situationen, untersuchen Möglichkeitsbedingungen, Orte selbst als Medium zu nützen. Künstlerische Formen wie Situationismus, Aktionismus, Postmodern Dance, Performance Art, zeitgenössischer Tanz denken – in all ihren Differenzen – Kunst in spezifischen raum-zeitlichen Ökonomien.

What used to be the largest warehouse complex in then Yugoslavia, grew in the early ̓90s into a “living, dynamic commercial organism”, a shopping centre called City.

Performance and/as Site-Specific Art

Extracting volume from domestic space, or compressing found materials into sculptures have been some of the artist's applied strategies. Michael Strasser’s work investigates the shifting relationship between space and human. Through the appropriation of found spaces and architectural situations, he initiates the exposure of cultural and institutional systems of representation.

“I went to the cinema with my mother when I was only 4 years old, because she was alone at home with a little kid and wanted to go out and be entertained.” Along concrete and fictional places in her work, Marlies Pöschl explores the question how temporary communities are being formed at filming locations, how cinema becomes a place of shared concerns.

Nicole Six is ​​visiting professor at the Department for Site-Specific Art in the summer term 2021.

By an experimental approach to public space, we want to look at the intersections of inherent social norms and the personal and political desires of each individual.
Within the course, we will define a certain public space, that will serve us as a stage for performative interventions and individual projects. The body and it`s current ambivalent state, will play a central role.

A forest is not just a place with many trees. The concrete surfaces of cities and exposed soil after timber and coal extraction heat the planet. Let's sunbathe together on a coal mining heap or a parking lot and let experts tell stories about the world that once was a forest and what happened next and continue this story now ourselves … From May 24–27 we will listen together to lectures, walk through the coal industry city of Ostrava and perform a film on a piece of a naked land.

On practicing the publicness of Art and the body needed to support its voice

Wringing poetry out of everyday life in its ordinariness, somewhere between ranking grammar, market logic and brand rhetoric. The artist duo zweintopf are searching for the transcendental component in the world of things surrounding us or constantly intervene at the edges of the public sphere in order to unearth the pinch of absurdity that is hidden in every human endeavor.

The department's OK_INFO DAY will take place at Paulusplatz 5 in 1030 Vienna on Thursday, 22 October 2020. Students, lecturers and the team of the department will be there from 2 until 6 pm to answer all of your questions concerning our program.

What if we addressed the Anthropocene as a problem of communication?
What if we tried to actively translate the needs and experiences of non-humans into human language? How to give voice to plants, animals, fungi or places? We read speculative fiction and theory; we enter cringy territories of anthropomorphism; we revive ecofeminist discussions of making kin with animals. We think, read and write together to rehearse non-human speech acts and “speaking nearby” others.

Formers are short, intuitive exercises that we’ll develop collectively, quickly, and alone. They ask where a work begins and ends. They are melodic, on brand, and focused on the role presentation plays in the construction of meaning. Formers are gestures, disappearing acts, and palimpsests. They are corrupt objects obsessed with their own time.
