The gallery opens with an empty room.
Without a doubt, living and working conditions have significantly changed over the past years due to social, political and technological developments and visual references to existing pictures have become part of the artistic discourse. A work of art, thus, constantly reaches beyond itself as it refers, either consciously or unconsciously, to something that already exists. The history of art is always a history of mediation and appropriation, of models and patterns. But it is not solely about detecting models, but also about finding a certain cultural implication or institutionalization of art, the system, after all, that the model is part of.
The performance artists from different countries and cultural backgrounds who have been invited shall at the opening or in the course of the following week, spontaneously present action-focused or ephemeral artistic performances dealing with the art of appropriation, either at the gallery or somewhere in the city.
It is up to the individual artists how they will later choose to document their performance at the gallery. The exhibition APPRORIATION consists of two parts, the first one presenting a two-week performance festival, which is followed by the second part, entitled APPROPRIATION |INTERPICTORIALITY | PART 2, which will be opened at the famous Vienna Gallery Weekend (29.5.-31.5.). Both exhibitions are complemented by lectures and discussions on the topic of appropriation by artists and renowned scientists in cooperation with Bildrecht | Bildraum07.
The results of the performance-program will be shown in NEXT DOOR and UNTERER STOCK during the Vienna Gallery Weekend.
APPROPRIATION | PERFORMANCE | PART 1
Vlasta Delimar | Cycle: Erzsebet Bathory
The audience enters the room one by one. Audience leaves a mark on my naked body in red. Bathory is a powerful visual art unit. She is the colour, she is the emotion, she is the aesthetics (it is very important for her), she is the wish and sensation, even suggestion (although her egoism does not ask from us to participate or to identify ourselves with her, because her existence is hers only; it is art that must not be „useful“ ). Her desire for the beauty is like a wild cherry, the poetry of an anxious insecure person who sees salvation just in the outside of things, a person with white and smooth skin. It is a great pain to be loved only on the surface. But, that is why a personal death exists, through which you can experience the fastest way to „eternity“. Bathory is an individual murderer, and, as being one, she is less dangerous than the murderers called Institution or Industry.
Tomislav Gotovac | Talking Rio (Rio Bravo)
Talking (Rio Bravo) was a public action that took place in front of the Student Center in Osijek, Croatia. Gotovac paced around talking to himself until he was arrested by the police.

Sebastian Gärtner | kil khor kora
Angelehnt an die Fertigungstechnik buddhistischer Sandmandalas, wird ein schmiedeeiserner Trichter mit gelbem Sand gefüllt. Dieser wird durch regelmäßige Reibung über die ziselierte Oberfläche des Trichters in Form eines Fahrbahnstreifens auf den Boden gezeichnet. Es ist nicht Ziel der Performance, die gesamte Breite des Platzes mit der Linie auszufüllen, sondern den vorgegebenen Zeitrahmen von 120 Minuten nicht zu überschreiten. Ebenfalls angelehnt an das buddhistische Sandmandala wird die Linie nach Ablauf der Zeit vollständig zerstört. Mit einer Methode religiöser Kontemplation wurde somit eine beliebige Barriere konstruiert.

Beate Susanne Wehr | I am here - Hommage an On Kawara
Kein unbelebter Ort wie On Kawaras Punkt in der Sahara, aber ein codierter Ort, da die geografischen Daten (Wien: LAT 48°20`N,LONG 16°37´E) zumeist nicht im Kenntnisbereich des Rezipienten liegen. Meine Arbeitsweise unterscheidet sich jedoch stark von der On Kawaras. Ich beziehe Menschen bewusst »handelnd« in meine künstlerischen Konzepte ein und konfrontiere »Kunstferne« mit Themen die sich aus Kunst, Philosophie, Soziologie und Alltagfragen generieren.

Sandro Dukić | Still movement - homage Nan Hoover
A commissioned performance installation inspired by Hoover’s photographic work from 1980. The title describes the occupation of her interests, while the event manifests the contours of her core ideas. This light installation and performance by Sandro Dukic will be site specific. In the line of Nan Hoovers work Sandro Dukic will move fluently from one medium to another - from spatial, architectonic and photographic installations and constructed films - to another with ease. Within these movements, he applies different layers and meanings of spaces and by doing that he defines himself as virtual visual artist with tendency towards critical interpretation of space and momentum of the artwork. After the performance the audience is invited to experience the installation and to discuss the installation with Sandro Dukic.
