Kunsthalle Wien Podcast: Iman Issa

In this episode, we interview the artist Iman Issa about her contribution to the exhibition No Feeling Is Final. The Skopje Solidarity Collection. Iman Issa deals with the power of displays in relation to cultural and academic institutions. She destabilizes preconceived notions about artworks by recontextualizing and recombining objects and texts that suggest other narratives and visions of what we think we know.

Elfie Semotan – No Feeling Is Final. The Skopje Solidarity Collection

For the exhibition No Feeling Is Final. The Skopje Solidarity Collection, Elfie Semotan captured the unique character of Skopje in a photographic series. Her pictures portray Skopje’s cultural diversity – from the Ottoman Old Bazaar to the modernist reconstruction of the city after the 1963 earthquake or, as part of the Skopje 2014 project, the crude attempt to rebuild Skopje as the classicist city it never was.

Kunsthalle Wien Podcast: Yane Calovski & Hristina Ivanoska

We had an in-depth conversation with the North Macedonian artist duo Yane Calovski & Hristina Ivanoska on their work for the exhibition No Feeling Is Final. The Skopje Solidarity Collection. For their installation All Things Flowing they picked seemingly contrasting works from the collection of MoCA Skopje by two very influential North Macedonian artists – Aneta Svetieva and Dushan Perchinkov. They reacted to this choice with two new works of their own to explore the local art history and to reimagine the story of MoCA Skopje in an essayistic way.

Publication Katrina Daschner. BURN & GLOOM! GLOW & MOON!

BURN & GLOOM! GLOW & MOON! was published in the context of the solo exhibition by Katrina Daschner at Kunsthalle Wien 2022.

BURN & GLOOM! GLOW & MOON! at Kunsthalle Wien was the most comprehensive exhibition of Vienna-based artist and filmmaker Katrina Daschner’s work to date. It encompassed works from the 1990s to the present, ranging from sculptures, textiles, music, performance, community-based work, and, most prominently, film, which sits at the heart of Daschner’s practice.

Addressing and performing the ways of being and nonbeing, Daschner’s multimedia, all-encompassing, powerful work is about becoming, making one feel less alone.
Hana Ostan Ožbolt

Glamorous Lesbians, Badass Queers, Flirtatious Sensual Plants and Swamps; it’s like having your abstract desires turn into images you can touch.
Denice Bourbon

The possibilities of queer form and life feel endless in Daschner’s work. Surfaces – of skin, jellyfish, water, hair, glitter, wool, bark – flow in and out of each other, assembling a body of work that simply leaves you in awe and always wanting more.
Hendrik Folkerts

The film juxtaposes two parallel pathways of globalization on Mexico’s Pacific coast. The boom in so-called ecotourism is constantly creating new construction sites for hotel complexes. The hard-labor experience of the construction workers collides with the images of cute baby turtles on their first journey into the sea.

Trailer Ancestral Clouds Ancestral Claims

The artist duo Denise Ferreira da Silva and Arjuna Neuman’s exhibition is centred around the coproduction and presentation of a new work: Ancestral Clouds Ancestral Claims. Parts of the film were shot in the Atacama Desert, the place with the clearest and driest air on the planet and home to the world’s largest radio telescope, which observes the skies. Against this backdrop, the film probes an alternative experience of the world that, rather than primarily seeing, overlooking, and enlightening, is guided by other senses and practices.
