• Spatial Dispositions : Ar/ge kunst (bolzano)

   

  disposition: 1) a person’s inherent qualities of mind

  and character; an inclination or tendency to behave

  in a particular way; 2) the way in which something is

  placed or arranged…

   

  In 2015 ar/ge kunst celebrates thirty years since its foundation in 1985. To mark this anniversary the entire annual programme will serve as a critical reflection on the history of ar/ge kunst and on the Kunstverein as the institutional model that has characterized it since the beginning.

  Through the various practices of the participating artists, this process of self-examination will centre on the exhibition as a mode of research, production, collaboration and restitution; a space and time conceived to facilitate reciprocity and mutual influence between the exhibitions and the accompanying program of public discussions, workshops and performances.

  The first exhibition project of 2015 is entitled Spatial Dispositions and has been devised by Italian artist Aldo Giannotti (b. 1977, lives and works in Vienna). As a progressive examination of ar/ge kunst itself, Spatial Dispositions will operate as the introduction to the anniversary program. Beginning with a series of spatial observations on the planimetry and architecture of ar/ge kunst, Giannotti’s research expands into the broad field of relations that have defined and continue to shape it as an institutional space. The history and economics of ar/ge kunst, its mission statement and ambitions, its responsibilities towards members and visitors, its relationship to its cultural and political context are here translated into projects for potential installations and performances.

  Presented as a ‘programmatic’ series of ideas or concept drawings, the outcome of Giannotti’s intervention is a kind of cartography that evolves in line with the research and dialogue of all the visitors, members, staff and artists who are and have been involved in making ar/ge kunst what it is today. Drawing, as a planning tool, has always been integral to Giannotti’s artistic practice. He uses it as an occasion or medium for liberating an imaginative, anticipatory practice that gathers up countless interventions and possible ‘exhibitions’ in one and the same space. His ideas function as a commentary, critique and contribution, perpetually reconfiguring the representation of the space. As such, Spatial Dispositions provides an approach to the institution as a system that can be read and altered according to both senses of the word disposition: as a pre-existing quality, tendency or behavioural pattern on the part of the subject, and as the possible organisation, distribution and arrangement of things in space.

  In these terms, Giannotti shifts what might be called the ‘affordances’ of the institution (properties inherent in the form or design of an environment and capable of conveying the possibility of its use) beyond immediate perception; ar/ge kunst becomes an object/subject that strives to perform a multiplicity of roles and functions in response to the actual or potential contexts it chooses to engage.

• Talking Image

  Talking Image is a performative installation that deals with the relation between theory, images, and sound, making its mediation the work itself. During the performance art critics and curators that wrote texts about exhibitions of photog-raphy are invited by the artist to re-perform their opening speeches simultaneously. The result is a cloud of sound that generates images through the association of their theoretical texts; over- lapping, canceling each other, and recreating new meanings. The recorded audio is then be played in a loop in the space for the rest of the exhibition.

  Aldo Giannotti thematisiert in der Intervention „Strisce Blu“ (Blaue Streifen) die Verwendung des öffentlichen Raumes und die Parkplatzbewirtschaftung. In einer Aktion vor Ort malt der Künstler blaue Markierungen zur Zahlungspflicht und signalisiert damit die Ohnmacht des einzelnen Individuums gegenüber der Willkür öffentlicher Stellen.

• Austro pop

  performance 2011

  Invited to exhibit at the Austrian Cultural Forum in London, Tomaž Kramberger and me started rehearsing Austro Pop songs. In London we performed them in various location using busking as the form of practice.
  One crucial function of cultural institutions representing a nation abroad is to make its cultural heritage visible and accessible. We reckon that a strong part of the ACF’s representational focus has been the promotion of music. Austria (its historical developments as a country, respectively) has been generating vastly influential and world-renowned composers and musicians throughout centuries.
  Reflecting on this point we decided to work with that legacy and extend it to the recent development in popular music.

• Heldenplatz

  PVC banner print. 2,45 cm x 1,66 cm. 2010

  During the Austrian national day i took a foto of me standing in front of a tank, parked at the Heldenplatz (Heroes' Square). An historical plaza in Vienna built under the reign of the Emperor Franz Joseph and controversially became known for Adolf Hitler announcing the “Anschluss” of Austria to the German Reich here. The Picture recalls the events of 1989, during Tiananmen protest, when an unknown rebel stood in front of a column of tanks stopping them from proceeding. The work reflects on the concepts of  monuments, rebellion and national identity.
