During this performance, two rooms were connected by a one-way, video-only closed TV circuit while an entrance space enabled the audience to view live video from the room receiving this silent transmission. During the action, the artist was isolated in the receiving room and invisible to the other room. Participants from the audience entered this other room one at a time. A private dialogue developed as the artist interacted with the screen showing the successive participants, whose faces were the only ones visible to the audience in the entrance space.

In this performance, the artist lay on her back and attempted to cleanse her mind by exhausting the three main expressive faculties of the voice, language, and the body. “I screamed at the top of my lungs, shrieking out all my frustration with everything: Belgrade, Yugoslavia, my mother, my entrapment. I screamed until my voice was gone—three hours later.”

“Was ist Kunst?” [What is Art?] is the title of a series of performances and video performances given by Raša Todosijević in various settings, situations, and places between 1976 and 1981. In this video iteration, we see only a silent woman while hearing the artist’s husky, powerful voice whispering, shouting, screaming, pleading, begging … simply asking the same question over and over again.

Selma Selman
You Have No Idea, 2020
Performance on Election Day, Washington D.C.
video, color, sound 4 min 58 sec

In this performance, the artist incessantly screams: “You have no idea!” As a Romni from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Selman refers to her experiences with discrimination, harassment, struggle, and the burden of coming of age within a population that has been traumatized and brutalized for centuries. This work is usually staged in a gallery space. The instance shown here was performed in Washington, D.C. on Election Day at the close of the first Trump administration, thus taking on an additional layer of meaning.
Thursday: 2:20 PM– 2:25 PM, 5:20 PM – 5:25 PM
Saturday: 11:20 AM – 11:25 AM

Espiral, 2010/13
HD video, color, sound, 13 min 51 sec
Courtesy of the artist and Charim Gallery, Vienna
“Espiral” was inspired by Kurt Jooss’ ballet “Der grüne Tisch” [The Green Table] of 1932, where Death dances self-assuredly around a succession of powerless protagonists who gather around a green table like politicians or gamblers. The video refers to the expansion of Austrian banks to Eastern Europe. Here, Death is performed by the Chilean dancer Amanda Piña. At one point, the artist herself appears as Piña’s make-up artist. The video’s central section shows fragments of the historical performance, which are contrasted with a new interpretation in front of the Austrian National Bank.
Thursday: 2:25 PM – 2:40 PM, 5:25 PM – 5:40 PM
Saturday: 11:25 AM – 11:39 AM
Sunday: 1:25 PM – 1:40 PM
Nasan Tur
Magic, 2013
HD video, color, sound, 14 min
Courtesy of the artist and Dirimart, İstanbul / London
For this video, Nasan Tur spent over a year training with various magicians and conjurors in order to explore and learn their craft, his interest being in the process of persuasion and being persuaded. The magicians’ hands seem capable of anything, with total control over the objects that they touch. Press photos of demonstrations and military operations disappear into thin air, and the Israeli flag is transformed into a Palestinian flag. It is all a question of perspective.
Thursday: 2:40 PM – 2:55 PM, 5:40 PM – 5:55 PM

Dorit Margreiter
Pavilion, 2009
Digitized 35 mm film, b&w, silent, 8 min
Courtesy of the artist and Charim Gallery, Vienna
“Pavilion” was filmed on the occasion of the artist’s participation at the 53rd Venice Biennial. This video examines the Austrian Pavilion in the Giardini, which was designed by Josef Hoffmann and built in 1934. The camera scrutinizes this modernist space in slow motion. These silent pans are intercut with takes showing women getting in costume for a performance. The exuberance of opulent attire and masquerade contrasts with the pavilion’s minimalist character, giving rise to a dialog with the representation of this particular space.
Thursday: 3:00 PM – 3:08 PM, 6:00 PM – 6:08 PM
Saturday: 12:00 PM – 12:08 PM
Katrina Daschner
POMP, 2020
HD video, color, silent, 8 min
Courtesy of the artist and Lombardi—Kargl, Vienna
“POMP” undermines images of grand architecture and high life with ironic, disquieting takes showing female dancers in formation. It is the eighth part of Katrina Daschner’s queer series entitled “Hiding in the Lights,” which is loosely based on Arthur Schnitzler’s novella “Dream Story” [Traumnovelle]. All props and architectural elements, be they a rose window, drops of water, glass, silk, or leather, become protagonists equal in importance to the performers and are choreographed according to a dream-scenario.
Thursday: 3:10 PM – 3:18 PM, 6:10 PM – 6:18 PM
