To Measure Time - Exploring Performative Strategies and Alternate Temporalities with a Focus on Tehching Hsieh's Time Clock Piece (1980–81)

abstract: The dissertation inquires into the spatio-temporal parameters of Time Clock Piece (1980–81), the second One Year Performance of Taiwanese-American artist Tehching Hsieh. In the one-year-long piece, the artist interacts with an industrial time clock every hour by punching a time card and then recording a film still. To what extent do time measurement practices affect societal life, values, and our sense of orientation? The analysis focuses on performative, relational, and processual aspects, discussing the piece together with other artworks that trace time and illustrate temporal progression. Drawing from a philosophy of difference and becoming, and critical feminist posthuman theory, the thesis understands the act of measuring time as an operation of translation and transformation. In a close reading of Time Clock Piece through theories and artworks that share similar approaches, the research detects strategies of recording time that initiate idiosyncratic temporal realities. The thesis demonstrates the transformative potential of the works and their capacity to generate alternate temporalities through experimenting with measuring techniques.Sabine Priglinger (*1984, Schwarzach im Pongau) studied stage and costume design at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz and the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin. After her diploma thesis on Anton Chekhov’s Ivanov in 2009, she worked in film, theater, and performance. In 2012, she began her research on Tehching Hsieh’s Time Clock Piece (1980–81), tracing conceptions of time measurement in performance studies, art theory, and philosophy. In 2014, she was a recipient of the Marietta Blau Grant and spent a six-month research period in London at the University of Roehampton and the Live Art Development Agency (LADA). She helped establish the Cathrin Pichler Archive for Arts and Sciences (CPA) at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna (2013–17) and has worked in exhibition management at Kunsthalle Exnergasse, WUK, since 2017.

Gesture in the Image

Candidate: Mag.art. Anja Manfredi

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

abstract present

abstract: This dissertation project, Gesture in the Image, is an investigation into the concept of gesture, from the perspective of the body to the transfer into the imaging medium of analogue photography, in contemporary art and cultural production. How can thinking, which becomes visible and transparent as gestures, be materialised in photography?The dissertation is structured like an exhibition, with three rooms or spaces. The first is an introduction to the concept of the gesture (referencing Vilém Flusser, Giorgio Agamben, Judith Butler – abstracted gestures in philosophy, spotlights on gestures in a historical space or room). It is followed by the room of Aby Warburg, who introduced artistic thinking into research. This way of thinking and working serves as a reference and method to curate the pictorial atlas to gesture in the present. A guiding figure in this work, both in content and form, is the figure of Atlas, as a mythological apparition, together with its environment and as a visual form. The pictorial atlas as a workshop of knowledge and a reflection on the pictures and their fates. In the third exhibition space, the third chapter, significant artists are presented under the following categories: 1) An Arsenal of Gestures – Gendered Gestures?, 2) (Self)-Analysis via Photography and the Arrangement of Material, 3) Afterlives and Transformations, 4) Thinking as Gesture that is Materialised in Photography or in Objects as Bodies, 5) Solidarity and Interconnectedness between Species. Thus, with the help of this research and analyses, the question of the (materialised) gesture is finally pursued in order to discover whether and how a gesture exposes what is concealed.
