Ausstellung: "almost in passing" (Istanbul)

This April 2010 presentation of artworks at Istanbul’s Off-Space, Gallery 5533, will feature a representative selection of contemporary productions by young Austrian artists. Videos, photography, objects, performances as well as audio installations will be presented to reflect the artists’ personal experiences as well as their social and political backgrounds.

The exhibition will be accompanied by talks with the artists at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University as well as by an evening with experimental electronic music, art projects, and performances at Dogzstar Club Istanbul. These events aim to stimulate productive exchanges and discussions. Professor Dr. Martin Hochleitner, Director of the Gallery of the Federal Province of Upper Austria, together with Andrea van der Straeten and Hubert Lobnig from the Department of Experimental Design of the University of Art and Industrial Design Linz curated this show.

This exhibition in Istanbul constitutes the second phase of an ongoing exchange between the Department of Experimental Design of the University of Art and Industrial Design Linz and the young and vibrant art scene of Istanbul. During their stay at Yildiz Technical University in Istanbul as a part of the Erasmus programme, two students from the Department of Experimental Design, Oona Valarie Schager and Ufuk Serbest, initiated, curated and organised in Linz the first exhibition of young artists from Istanbul.

In April of 2009, this show entitled  “Inspiring Stanbul” brought the work of young Turkish artists to the center of Linz for the first time.  This event resulted from the co-operation between the University of Art and Industrial Design Linz and “Linz 09 – European Capital of Culture”.

EXPERIMENTELLE GESTALTUNG

In der Experimentellen Gestaltung steht nicht ein einzelnes Medium und das eindeutig definierte künstlerische Produkt im Mittelpunkt der Ausbildung, sondern die künstlerischen Produktivitätsstrategien, das Prozesshafte künstlerischer Ideen und deren Realisierung in unterschiedlichsten Medien wie Video, Fotografie, Experimentalfilm, Sound computerbasierte Techniken sowie Zeichnung, Performance und andere.

Aus dem Spannungsverhältnis zwischen (kultur-)wissenschaftlichen, gesellschaftskritischen und technischen Diskursen und der Eigenwilligkeit individueller Wahrnehmungen entwickelt sich Neugier und künstlerischer Forschergeist, die über das Experimentieren zu unerwarteten Erkenntnissen und unkonventionellen Resultaten führen.

Jahresthemen, oft zu aktuellen gesellschaftspolitischen Entwicklungen und deren Relevanz für die künstlerische Produktion, bieten einen diskursiven Zusammenhang für Projekte, die individuell oder in Gruppen erarbeitet werden. Die Experimentelle Gestaltung ist ein kreativer Freiraum und ein künstlerisches Labor.


EXPERIMENTAL ART 
(english version)

The focus of teaching within the Experimental Art curriculum is not primarily on a single medium or clearly defined artistic product but rather on strategies of artistic productivity, the process character of artistic ideas and their implementation through a wide variety of media including video, photography, experimental film, sound, computer-based techniques as well as drawing, performance and others.

The stimulating tension between (cultural-)scientific, socio-critical, and technical discourses and the independence of individual perception fosters curiosity and the spirit of artisitic research. By engaging in experimentation, this approach will generate unexpected findings and unconventional outcomes.

Annual themes – often centred on topical socio-political developements and their relevants for artistic production – provide a discoursive context for projects developed either individually or within a group. The Experimental Art curriculum is a space for creative freedom and artistic laboratory.
