Indebtedness: Die Haftung der Geschenknehmenden
Kunstverein Kevin Space, Vienna, Austria
26th March - 15th May 2021
The exhibition manifests as an expanded writing practice and an exercise in non-linear story-telling, as well as vernacular idioms and idiosyncrasies to explore subjective, inter-generational and gendered historiography. Text, photography, sculpture and sound tangibly negotiate fine lines between nostalgia, critical historicity and attempts to reinstate alternative perceptions of reality for the present and future.
The publication Scunthorpe Correspondences was kindly supported by ‘Damnatio Memoriae’ project funding from the ÖH Kulturreferat of the Hochschüler_innenschaft, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
The installation O my mother, I am in love with a hawk (Bird) features a two-hour mix by Yung Singh.
Framing was kindly supported by Werner Murrer Rahmen, Munich.
With special thanks to Julian Billmair, Sophie Eidinger, Masimba Hwati, Philipp Lossau, Yung Singh, Andrea Zabric.
