Klang als Heterotopie, Spuren des Realen - Fragmente der Wirklichkeit

Candidate: Florian Kindlinger MA

study_program: Dr.-Studium der Philosophie; Kunst u. kulturwiss. Studien (Stzw)

abstract present

abstract: Diese Arbeit begibt sich auf die Suche nach sonischen Heterotopien, nach diesen „realen Orte(n) jenseits aller Orte“ (FOUCAULT 2013, 11). Es werden künstlerische und theoretische Positionen behandelt, die eine Lokalisierung solcher klanglicher „Gegenräume“ darstellen, respektive eine Spur zu diesen legen. Als die akustische Erfahrung „anderer“ Orte. Im akustischen „Sweetspot“ stehen dabei Bereiche klanglicher Realität, die durch eine gewisse Schürfarbeit freizulegen sind. Als Spurensuche an den medientechnischen Rändern und in den Grenzfeldern der menschlichen Wahrnehmung Dem Begriff der (De)Fragmentierung kommt in der Arbeit dabei besondere Bedeutung zu. Als zunehmend in die Realität überschwappende Technik und als Prinzip der Zerlegung von Kontinuitäten in diskrete Zeichen - als symbolische Strukturierung des Rauschens – sowie die daraus gestaltete Politik von Sichtbarem, Hörbarem und Sagbarem, die der Konstitution und Konstruktion von klanglicher Wirklichkeit als Basis dient. In den entsprechenden Diskursen der Kunst und Medientheorie wird dem autonomen Klang oft nur nebensächliche Aufmerksamkeit zu Teil – und dann meist in Kopplung mit den öfter abgehandelten Bilderwelten. Diese Arbeit will verstärkt in eine andere Richtung gehen und klangliche Phänomene untersuchen, die nicht als Verweise auf die sichtbare Oberfläche klingender „Objekte“, sondern als wiederklingende Resonanz abseits liegender „Nicht Orte“ funktionieren. Klang und Geräusch dringen durch uns hindurch und resonieren in uns wieder, sie werfen uns auf eine*n selbst als Subjekt in einer vielschichtigen Konstellation von Verweisen zurück. An dieser Stelle öffnet sich der Möglichkeitsraum der Heterotopie. Als Fingerzeig klanglicher Materialität, als das sonische Vernehmen verborgener, realer Zonen.

1960s-2016: ACROSS ITALIAN PHOTOGRAPHY.On the in-between landscape, art, architecture and archetypes, and around the exhibition Viaggio in Italia

Candidate: Melissa Destino

study_program: Dr.-Studium der Philosophie; Kunst u. kulturwiss. Studien (Stzw)

abstract present

abstract: I am interested in investigating how photography has become a tool for investigation and speculation more than representation, how it can enable a material perception and understanding of history and social environments and how narrative discourses in photography build on archetypes, mythology (and on the activity of mythologizing connected to the symbolic forms of expression), iconography in visual arts, on references within history of photography and on architecture and urbanism.In order to explore these issues I am going to investigate Italian photography in relation to the international art scene, and to look for connecting points, mutual references/heritages and differences –especially but not exclusively–with American photography (Walker Evans, Lee Friedlander, Stephen Shore, John Gossage, Joe Deal, Alec Soth, Ron Jude, Peter Brown, David Pollock –Canada–) and with the Düsseldorf School of Photography.I am interested in looking at the shift occurred in photography between the 60s, when it was strongly tied and influenced by conceptual art and arte povera (for example Ugo Mulas, Franco Vaccari), and the 70s, when it started to reflect on the transformation of the urban and non-urban landscape. I am therefore going to research the socio-political, economical and geographical reasons why it was not exported internationally in a period when the Italian art market was riding the wave of arte povera's success. It remained a local, not well know phenomenon mostly (if) connected to clients such as municipalities and regional institutions.In these years of reconstruction when districts of office blocks, factories, social housing were arising in a newly growing urban sprawl, a new attention towards the landscape was given by architects, urbanists and theoreticians such as Bernardo Secchi, Bruno Zevi and Italo Zannier. Having a background in Architecture, photographers such as Guido Guidi and Gabriele Basilico (just to name a few) started to investigate the territory, measure it and relate to it through the camera.In 1984 the exhibition “Viaggio in Italia” organized by Luigi Ghirri with Gianni Leone and Enzo Velati marked a watershed in the history of Italian photography. The work of the photographers invited to participate in the exhibition in 1984 became and still is paradigmatic of a blend between the use of photography as intellectual tool and a sort of “landscape” photography, which on one hand embraces the contemporary experiences outside Italy and on the other builds on history. It is therefore crucial to observe in these terms the intersection between the notion of memory and the perception of the landscape understood as both individual and collective space.Interestingly enough, after this exhibition, photography placed at the crossroads of reportage, documentary, and art photography filled an interstitial gap, then expanded and solidified: one of the reasons why it still drives–after 30 years–a certain way of seeing, which rules as if it were a school. In fact there was no school, but instead a dispersed similar need and attitude which were then spread by the actual academies of photography. An urgency brought up by historical, social, architectural and material changes of the landscape.Melissa Destino (1984, Bari) currently works at Galerie Hubert Winter, Vienna. With a background in visual arts and curating, as well as the design and photography of cultural heritage, she has worked in various contemporary art galleries and has assisted curator Elena Filipovic on several publishing projects, including The Artist as Curator. She has worked as production manager of Marinella Senatore’s “The School of Narrative Dance,” in Brussels. She recently curated The Provisional City at Spazio Murat, Bari.

Visuals

Candidate: Mag. phil. Anita Elisabeth Hafner

study_program: Dr.-Studium der Philosophie; Kunst u. kulturwiss. Studien (Stzw)

abstract present

abstract: The dissertation project aims to investigate the new aesthetic practices of light projections (visuals) since the early 1990s in England’s Techno music culture, focused on the female Austria pioneers working in this field. Visuals are a special form of time-based media shown in the (Techno) club, improvised live and synchronized to electronic music by a disc jockey (DJ) or band, or generated by computer code (see Rohlf 2004, Scheel 2005) Spinrad 2005; Eskandar & Prisna 2006; Faulkner 2006; Fischer 2008, 2009; Lund 2009; Alexander 2010).A media-theoretical investigation on (audio) visual / time-based phenomena took mainly place in exhibition publications (Block 1980, Szeemann 1983, Frohne 1999, Weibel 2006, Fischer 2008, 2009, 2010, Rainer & Rollig & Daniels & Ammer 2009) and is hence "Close to the artistic material" (Diederichsen 2010). In recent years independent scientific publications (Droschl & Höller & Wiltsche 2005, Lund & Lund 2009, Daniels & Naumann 2010, 2011) dealt with the relationship between music and visuals. Dissertations with the subjects club and VJ-ing, focused on (theatrical) performance (Tuco 2014), software development (Batty 2014) and music video (Röthig 2015).The Riot-Grrrl movement in the early 1990s in the North American hardcore punk scene and its propagation of "Girl Power" (see Kearney 2003, Peglow & Engelmann 2013) motivated girls and young women in Austria, to create of active cultural production and participation.I aim to develop primary sources by expert interviews (Meuser & Nagel 2008). My interest is not so much about the person, but the interviewee (visuals pioneer) as an expert for a specific field (visuals). The interviewee is not an isolated case, but a representative. The evaluation of the expert interviews is aimed at analyzing and comparing the contents of the expert knowledge to the literature, which I have gained from a literature review. Cases are included in the study according to the pattern of gradual selection (see Flick 2002).My approach to visuals is not about a bibliographic, but about the artistic technique of the visual pioneers and their emancipatory, participatory approach. The knowledge and experience of visual pioneers are a key to the specific understanding of the field with its problems.
