DEMOCRACY, WHAT’S UP?

Posted on

Our new project for young people from Vienna, and the further development of the pilot project „Real Heroes are Different“ from 2018. „Democracy, what’s up?“ is an integrative cultural mediation project for and with youth and young adults in Austria. Through a playful exploration as well as a hands-on engagement with various art forms, participants are offered a positive personal narrative and an identity-boosting sense of self-efficacy in the collective. The project is funded by the Austrian Ministry of Social Affairs in the area of diversity and equal opportunities and is primarily aimed at young people who are structurally disadvantaged or experience marginalization.

ODDS & ENDS

Posted on

At the core of the Odds & Ends exhibition by Sara Hawy, Benjamin Podoba, and
Mateusz Wiglinzki is an exploration of light as both medium and subject,
inviting viewers to experience a multi-sensory journey that challenges
perceptions and blurs the lines between art and science.

Curated by Mirjana Mustra, the exhibition delves into the realms of abstract
expression, experimentation, and transformative processes, showcasing a
diverse range of mediums that include video, sculpture, collage,
installation, animation, and captivating light installations.

Hawy, Podoba, and Wiglinzki venture into uncharted territories, intervening
in the substance through chemical and thermal processes, pushing the
boundaries of artistic experimentation. The three artists merge their work
into a collective installation that immerses visitors in its world of
reflections and dynamic interplay. The viewers become active participants as
they move through the space and alter the visual landscape by their
presence. The exhibition Odds & Ends seeks to engage the senses, challenging
preconceived notions and inviting contemplation on the interconnectedness of
art, science, and the human experience.

When: 16.-23.02.2024

LOCKDOWN STORIES (AT)

Posted on

Lockdown Stories (working title) is a film workshop project in cooperation with the Arbeiterkammer (Chamber of Labor). A selected group of youngsters received the possibility to develop and create a short film with the help of professionals. The short film is about the challenges that the corona crisis put the youth into. From their point of view, we learn about their personal feelings, their struggle of being isolated, and the importance of social cohesion. The project was initiated and led by Mahir Yildiz.


SHORTFILM: FLUCHTPUNKT

Posted on

What a Take off! The first block of our short film had a promising start at the Aqueduct Liesing and Steinbruch Kaltenleutengeben. Sadly the flight turned out to be a short one. Due to contact to a Covid-19 case of one of our team members and a subsequent categorization into a K1 case we had to swallow the bitter pill and stop the shoot. At the moment the continuation of the shoot is planned for the next year sadly.

PROCEDO EXHIBITION

Posted on

We are proud to announce:

PROCEDO is an audio-visual installation project by Iranian composer Alireza Toghiyani and the German-Polish experimental photographer and filmmaker Mateusz Wiglinzki. By turning away from an inflationary image and sound culture, Toghiyani and Wiglinzki shifted towards experimentation. Based on Wiglinzki’s photographic work, Toghiyani developed a sound composition that later merged into a series of audio-visual installation objects that dissolve the boundaries between different artistic disciplines. The basic idea of transformation and process-oriented work is the focus of their work.
