EXHIBITION: ENTRECIDO | INTERLACE
Opening 08.04.3021 – Pavilhão Branco Jardim do Palácio Pimenta, Campo Grande, 1700-091 Lisbon
The exhibition Entretecido | Interlace at Pavilhão Branco features the work by twenty-six artists considering aesthetics and politics of textile. Due to multiple lockdowns caused by the pandemic situation we spend more and more time online and in isolation. The haptic experience gains relevance to maintain a mental connection with the corporeal.
The exhibition Entretecido | Interlace presents and analyses the material properties of textiles in an attempt to create a leap beyond the immaterial life online, while also demonstrating some of the connections that exist between the digital and the real life realm. While the principal focus is on artists working with different forms of textile, the exhibition features various formats, including performance and lens-based media. In addition to surveying the techniques of textile production, Entretecido | Interlace attempts to address some of the ramifications of textile production for fashion, architecture, as codification or expression of identity politics or regional folklore. These subjects are not exclusive, yet they have been arranged in chapters for the exhibition and accompanying publication and can be detected without adhering to the spatial divisions of Pavilhão Branco.

EXHIBITION: Cybernetics of the Poor, 17/12 2020 — 28/3 2021
17/12 2020 — 28/3 2021
Museumsquartier, Vienna
In cooperation with Tabakalera International Centre for Contemporary Culture, Donostia/San Sebastián
Cybernetics of the Poor examines the relationship between art and cybernetics and their intersections in the past and present. From the late 1940s on, the term cybernetics began to be used to describe self-regulating systems that measure, anticipate, and react in order to intervene in changing conditions. Initially relevant mostly in the fields of administration, planning, and criminology, and early ecology, under digital capitalism cybernetics has become an economic factor (see: big data). In such a cybernetic totality art must respond to a new situation: as a cybernetics of the poor.
This exhibition presents works that use the powerlessness of art—its poverty—vis-à-vis the cybernetic machine to propose countermodels. In addition, the show gathers recent and historical works by artists who believed in cybernetics as a participatory, playful practice or were pioneers in delineating a counter-cybernetics. How much of the “counterforce” (Thomas Pynchon) exists within art when it is conceived as a cybernetics of the poor?
Cybernetics of the Poor was shown in its first iteration at Tabakalera in the spring and summer of 2020. The subtitle of that exhibition, Tutorials, Exercises and Scores, named three different genres curators Diedrich Diederichsen and Oier Etxeberria identified as using either anticybernetic or cybernetic artistic strategies. In addition to presenting a selection of examples of these genres, the show’s second installment in Vienna focuses on cybernetic instruments of social control and methods of circumventing it as well as the art market’s very own economic cybernetics.
The exhibition is complemented by an extensive public program, taking place live as well as in digital space. It includes artistic activations of the exhibition space, interventions by participants in the “Cybernetics of the Poor” seminar (Master in Critical Studies course at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna), and a symposium, as well as a multifaceted program of guided tours.

EVENT: Deep Horizon - The Culture of Forecasting
Deep Horizon - The Culture of Forecasting
October 17-19, 2019 at Kunsthalle am Karlsplatz, Treitlstrasse 2, 1040 Vienna
Forecasting is an eminently cultural issue, because it provides an aesthetic of the unknown and gives shape to the uncertain, actualizing the future into the present, in order to make the unlikely more likely, or to prevent the likely from happening. During the event Deep Horizon: The Culture of Forecasting, we bring together the audience with artists, researchers and activists who deal with the role of forecasting as a way of inventing the future, for talks, discussions, workshops and game playing. Think and act ahead!

FILM SCREENING: Красная звезда / RED STARS
Красная звезда / RED STARS is a film that engages with Alexander Bogdanov’s science fiction novel "Red Star" (1908), which envisions a utopian society on Mars and it’s contemporary reception in the context of contemporary renewed efforts to colonize Mars. RED STARS relates to central topics of Bogdanov’s pre-revolutionary socialist imagination, reaching from collectivity and identity, over gender relations, art, science towards economy and education, through the use of interviews with, among others, Alexander Malinosky, Alla Mitrofanova, Pavel Arseynev, Anastasia Gacheva, Anna Gorskaya, Alexandra Simakova and Boris Klushnikov.

Opening 12 01 2018 19:00
Exhibition Fr | Sa | Mo 14:00-18:00
The exhibition entfaltet deals with questions about reinterpretation and notation as strategies to preserve and mediate timebased media art.
What does this mean in the museum context, in matters pertaining to preservation?
And in the case of reinterpretation when do we speak of a new work?
Which information a score should contain
and how should this information be displayed?
The artworks, commissioned by IMA Institute of Media Archeology, shown in the exhibition entfalten – Axel Stockburgers reinterpretation Read my Lips of Gerda Lampalzers Translation from 2003 and Seppo Gründlers reinterpretation Whiteout of Richard Kriesches Blackout from 1974, as well as the score of the interactive sculpture You Never Know by Hillevi Munthe and Elisabeth Schimana, generated in a four day worklab by the artists in collaboration with the preservation expert Claudia Röck – are possible answers to these questions. In opposite the exhibition shows documentations of the reenterpretated works Translation and Blackout, as well as the sculpture You Never Know.

20700 Turku, Finland
Canned Laughter – a group exhibition composed of a selection of works by Tomas Eller (Vienna), David Muth (Turku/Vienna) and Axel Stockburger (Vienna). The show is concerned with the forces of expansion and normalisation, which accompany contemporary forms of globalisation.
In order to achieve continued growth, present day capital increasingly depends on the establishment and implementation of formats and protocols that guarantee smooth transactions across different national and local boundaries. While the material effects of this development are perfectly demonstrated by the introduction of DIN norms for technological devices, postage and container systems – optimising the commercialisation of regional resources – there also exist cultural and political forms of formatting that are increasingly visible, from popular culture to contemporary art. Just as the canned laughter, that we have become used to as a protocol of audience reactions, heavily deployed in the entertainment industries’ soap operas, these forms of standardisation are often so present that they are screened out by contemporary consumers of culture. Indeed, they often find their way into subconscious regions, where they reside as ghostly artifacts of a presumed naturalisation – canned laughter becomes the “natural” atmosphere of such forms of entertainment.
The works in this exhibition engage with these phenomena from a range of different perspectives and practices. Thomas Eller presents us with the visual translation of a process of expansion as disintegration that precisely points towards the unavoidable forces of contingency, making usage of techniques deployed in open-cast mining across the borders. David Muth deals with aesthetic protocols of domesticated natural forms, in his series of artificial flower decorations provided by a global lifestyle and decoration behemoth. In the work Bestiarium, by Axel Stockburger, the process of localization in the wake of the global implementation of cultural narratives such as the Pokemon universe, becomes the starting point for a poetry beyond the local. Stockburger’s Transformer videos engage with the cosplay phenomenon and the way it has become a global cultural attractor where fans develop their own take on the canon of corporate fantasy universes.
Group Exhibition: Technopolitics Timeline
Date: 24 June – 1 July 2017
TECHNOPOLITICS sets up a CURATED KNOWLEDGE SPACE that offers a discursive framework for exploring the genesis and current configuration of the Information Society.
The main visual element of the Technopolitics Timeline is a large-scale print that traces the evolution of our shared techno-cultural realities. The Timeline’s 500 entries draw attention to different events and genealogies from the fields of art, culture, media, politics, economy, technology, and social life that have been relevant for the shaping of the Information Society.
The project’s common objective is to investigate from a critical, explorative standpoint the heterogenic historical processes that are structured by techno-economic paradigms. An extensive workshop and discussion program focuses on trans-disciplinary and trans-cultural conversations to connect these processes to the cultural forms of the respective historical moment and place.

Group Exhibition: Welt Kompakt? – Out of Brazil
Performances by Pêdra Costa, Fabiana Faleiros, Libidiunga Cardosa / Caetano Carvalho / MARSSARES, Juliana Dos Santos, Kadija de Paula & Chico Togni und Camilla Rocha Campos
The exhibition project “WELT KOMPAKT?” focuses on transdisciplinary artistic practices that have come into play along with our increasingly more direct access to information, communication tools, and social media. The use of social media channels such as Instagram and Facebook alters our sense of near and far, our awareness of intimacy and distance, of bodily presence, absence, and political mobility. What influence does social media have on how so-called “glocal” (global & local) projects and ways of living are organized? How does social media affect processes around freedom of expression and freedom of choice, or the democratization of knowledge and information transfers?

GROUP EXHIBITION: Tracing Information Society—a Timeline New Paradigms
Friday January 27 to Sunday February 5,
OPENING Thursday January 26, 7:00 pm
In collaboration with the Technopolitics working group, transmediale presents the exhibition “Tracing Information Society – a Timeline,” shown at neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK).
For “Tracing Information Society – a Timeline,” Technopolitics turns the exhibition venue into a curated space for knowledge. A twelve-meter-long timeline depicts the development of the Information Society from 1900 until today. While moving along the timeline, visitors experience the emergence, transformation, and impact of the Information Society and the diverse influences on cultural, academic, or political events. The goal of the project is to critique and overcome the neoliberal (dis)order of information.
Technopolitics additionally provides an extensive collection of corresponding material in the time-table format, encouraging a deeper examination of the subject matter. The exhibition is accompanied by a series of workshops, lectures, and salons.
Among the participants are Wolfgang Ernst, Anselm Franke, Verina Gfader, Margarete Jahrmann, Jacob Lund and Cornelia Sollfrank.

Film program curated by by Juli Carson and Michael Moshe Dahan
Wednesday, November 09, 2016, 19:00 at mumok cinema, Vienna
In the vortex of runaway global debt, Black Monday 2008 is the gravitational pull for part 2. At stake are the virtualized mechanisms of financial markets—algorithms, dark pools and high frequency trading—that yield a lack of lack. Produced from simultaneous frenzy and malaise, these films attribute meaning to an historical trauma that can be belatedly described but never quite named. Our backdrop is present-day Wall Street: a digitized platform where dematerialized currency brings forth a Möbius-like circuit of continuity that knows neither beginning nor end.

Who are we? What are the traits that define us? There are several biological – and therefore hereditary – physical features that represent an identity. Sex, hair and eye color, body height, fingerprints, … characteristics which are hard to change by ourselves. The medial, social, and constructed forms of identity on the other hand are fairly easy to manipulate. How much identity or how many identities do we need, and what do we need them for? Where does the desire to reinvent ourselves, to have one or several alter egos, to control the way we are perceived from outside come from? What is the difference between a persona and an avatar? Is it a desire of all humans to be creator and creature at the same time? But not just the possible ways to create an identity are rapidly evolving; the methods to examine and verify these identities are also becoming more refined. Our identity is not just checked when we travel but every time we go shopping, when we enter public spaces, at the doctor’s, at restaurants, in social media, … how are we dealing with the data streams we produce? How do we behave, how do we protect ourselves? How are we being mapped? What influence do migrant scenarios have on the construction of identities? What about pen names and fictional characters? paraflows .XI will be looking into the components of identity and trying to find variables to put these components together in different ways.

Money, Good and Evil. A Visual History of Economics
5.3.2016 – 19.6.2016
Opening 4.3.2016 - 19:00
In the spring of 2016, the exhibition »Money, Good and Evil« will be on view at Staatliche Kunsthalle, Baden-Baden Museum, and Casino Baden-Baden. The neighboring Theater Baden-Baden will present »Wirtschaftskomödie« by Elfriede Jelinek.
Money is not ahistorical. This is the fundamental premise of the exhibition. As the visual history of economics shows, the ways in which money is depicted by artists have changed repeatedly over the centuries.
In contrast to the classical economic view, which postulated the existence of a Homo Oeconomicus as a constant over the centuries, the visual history of economics suggests that this figure reinvented itself again and again. This seems to raise the question of when our current understanding of money will once again change. For example, the social rise of tradesmen to important figures in public life in the Netherlands and in Southern Germany of the 16th century meant that they could now present themselves with the insignia of their new wealth. But during the course of the next century, a new pictorial genre emerged, in which money is represented together with skulls and assembled to vanitas images and moral allegories. Until far into the 20th century, there were almost no representations of money without references to such social or moral aspects. This changed with Andy Warhol’s large-format serial depictions of dollar bills.

Group Exhibition: Libidinal Economies: Art in the Age of Bull Markets
Libidinal Economies: Art in the Age of Bull Markets
Curated by Juli Carson and Michael Moshe Dahan
Oct 03, 2015 to Dec 12, 2015
Reception: Saturday, October 3, 2015 - 2:00pm to 5:00pm
Libindinal Economies: Art in the Age of Bull Markets takes as its economic mise-en-scène the bull run market of 1982 (that
crashed in 1987), tracing its origins in monetary policies of the 1970’s, and mapping its echoes in the recent redux of
this bull run from 2009 to the present. The New York Stock Exchange (where the selling and buying of securities, currency and commodities takes place)and the art world (where the critique ofWall Street culture is derived and scripted) presumably constitute two distinct psychic and fiscal economieslocated in two different physical locations. The former is supposed to be rational, mathematical and regulated, the latter libidinal, creative and subversive. However, that isn’t true. The art world, in fact, has proven to be the bohemian substrate of the real deal, the bottom line, of the financial market. The gallery system, in the 80s and even more so recently, is the physical location – the center of mass – where these two celestial bodies effortlessly orbit each other with near mathematical precision. In this way, the economic and aesthetic spheres share a gravitational pull because they are – libidinally and economically – inextricably connected. Given so, Libidinal Economies showcases film works –experimental, narrative, and documentary – that are provoked by this cultural condition. As such, we are to consider these films as demonstrating various critical positions of resistance to the art market. But in so doing, this critique is made, naturally, from the inside, as there no longer is any way out of this closed system.

Codes drive imaging media in science, art and architecture; inform economy and politics; facilitate social practices and digital communication; define the New Aesthetics of algorithmic procedures. Their discrete operations, executed in between processes of modeling, evaluation, debugging and optimization, are, however, subject to the contingency of unexpected events and failures.
“Glitch" is a term that denotes electric and electronic malfunctions in information data flows. Against the background of a world of experience shaped by technology and media, the term describes flaws and blurs manifesting in image interferences and bugs, amongst others. While they display undesired problem areas in the art of engineering, their effects and artifacts have been made the material of aesthetic experiments in media art and related fields since the 1960s.
The “peaks” of these glitches, however, increasingly flash over and affect the social realm. SOCIAL GLITCH, therefore, takes such events as its starting point for an actualization and reconsideration beyond media-immanent questions. Instead, the project focuses on new approaches from different artistic fields that address the performance of events, which in a kind of “negative transcendence” exert their influence into society and individual biographies. Thus, they reveal central issues at stake today, be they caused by defects (such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill), produced deliberately (such as manipulations disclosed by Edward Snowdon) or the result of algorithmic forms of speech (such as financial flash crashes). We coined the term “social glitch” to address these events and occurrences in terms of a historic-technological continuity of intensifying escalations.
SOCIAL GLITCH assembles artistic projects that range from subversive and playful interventions, fictive and performative narratives to speculative experiments and research-based visualizations and interpretations of factual circumstances. The common theme behind these different approaches is an (often activist) engagement with and a radical interest in the “deep horizons” of the sea changes we are witnessing today, together with attempts to “enhance the resolution” of what we perceive and how we might thus improve knowledge and informed decision-making. The (media) aesthetics of error, which have shaped the glitch theme in recent decades, are thus expanded and differentiated in favor of an aesthetics in the field of consequences to evoke and formulate concrete social and political potentials besides artistic ones.
Hence, SOCIAL GLITCH examines the controversial consequence whether art still delivers radically critical aesthetics beyond the interests of the contemporary art market by taking a leading role in conceptualizing and focusing our perception for cultural, social and political change.

The departure point of the exhibition is the very question of launching a new art space. It hints at the realities in which Rib begins its operation. The aim of this exhibition is to introduce Rib as an ambitious gesture of minimal expectations, and to commit to the ‘Real’ of art. The displayed works remind us of the often unsettling ambiguities in the art world and the affirmative possibilities within its given limitations.

Group Exhibition: 12. Bienal de la Habana
12 .Bienal de la Habana, May 22 – June 22 2015
Between the Idea and the Experience
Amid the celebrations for the 30th anniversary of the Havana Biennial, the curatorial team Jorge Fernández Torres, Margarita González Lorente, Nelson Herrera Ysla, José Manuel Noceda Fernández, Ibis Hernández Abascal, Margarita Sánchez presents the Twelfth Edition to be held between 22 May and 22 June 2015. With Nikolaus Gansterer, Johann Lurf und Axel Stockburger three artists from Austria also participate in the Havana Biennial. The projects were realized in Havana in collaboration with the Austrian curator Ursula Maria Probst and the curatorial team.
Axel Stockburger’s contribution to the twelfth Havana Biennial is a video piece entitled Mi Gesto Final. The video was shot in the countryside outside Havana and relates to the Cuban computer game; Gesta Final. In this first-person shooter, players can experience the Cuban revolution from an individual perspective. The video piece consists of tracking shots through dense jungle, grasslands, and mountain forest, while the audio consists of accounts, from different players, of their (virtual) experiences of the revolution. Mi Gesto Final engages with the meaning of the history of the Cuban revolution for contemporary young Cubans and asks how historical events are mediated by digital games. It is precisely the historical character of an event such as a revolution that stands in stark contrast with the perpetual repetition of actions in a computer game. In this sense the piece opens up a space for the negotiation of the possibilities of radical political action within technological and cultural frameworks characterised by digital simulation.
The video will be presented in Havana by four people with tablet PCs and headphones, who offer these devices to the audience and thus enable a very private and individual viewing experience. This form of presentation is conceptually informed by the current system of digital media dissemination in Cuba, called “Pakete”, where individuals share data via hard drives and flash media.
The project was funded by the Austrian Bundeskanzleramt für Kunst, as well as the Austrian Embassy in Cuba.

Proust’s Questionnaire brings together the work of six artists working in different media who respond to important questions of culture with an emphasis on language and its transformative potential as an analytical movement that is at once combat and caress. The form of the questionnaire was not originally intended for artists, but refers to social practices in the delicate salons and drawing rooms of 19th century Paris and London. In Prousts Questionnaire, the hybrid emerges in the steady and meditative repetition of homely questions. Are these artists in love? Yes, since they are waiting. As such, desire – which is to say the interstice between these artists and the Other – constitutes a transformative temporality from which new agency can become.

The presentation Stockburger/Penker/Faust engages with the relationship between the age old cultural form of the mask and contemporary forms of subjectification that owe to masking, such as fashion or Avatars in Online Games and cosplay. As Claude Levi Strauss has shown, the mask can become that which separates nature from culture, while at the same time enabling the transformation into a spirit or an animal, in animistic and spiritist cultures. The presented works of Elisabeth Penker, Axel Stockburger and Marina Faust aim to situate themselves in the interstices between mask and person.

Solo Exhibition - Poster Series: Worldeater Saprophyt
Worldeater: Saprophyt, from April 2013
Series of posters for public space, 594mmx841mm, 6 color print, 2013
500 / of which edition of 100 numbered/signed
Axel Stockburgers project for Saprophyt consists of a series of posters that will be visible in teh Viennese public space from April 2013. The starting point for this poster is a listing of all the names of people who were engaged throughout the last 4 years of Saprophyts existence as an art space. In this sense the work continues Stockburgers engagement with forms of representation of what he understands as "cultural islands". This approach takes a critical stance in relation to the economics of attention that are increasingly influencing the field of art production and reception. Saprophyt as a physical space is translated into a network of relations and infiltrates public space.
Plakatserie im öffentlichen Raum, 594x841mm, Offsetdruck, 6-farbig, 2013
500 Stück / Edition von 100 Stück nummeriert/signiert
Axel Stockburgers Arbeit für Saprophyt besteht aus einer Serie an Posters, die ab April 2013 im öffentlichen Raum in Wien plakatiert werden. Der Ausgangspunkt für diese Plakate ist eine Auflistung der Eigennamen aller bis dato an Saprophyt beteiligten Personen die graphisch als eine Art Insel von Bezügen repräsentiert werden. Einerseits folgt Stockburger damit seiner Untersuchung voneinander getrennter kultureller Inseln, wie sie in seiner Serie "Worldeater" anhand von verschiedenen Formen von Auflistungen erscheinen. Andererseits wird hier die im Rahmen der Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie stattfindende Wertsteigerung von Namen als Marken, auch und gerade im Feld der Bildenden Kunst, in den Vordergrund gerückt. Der physikalische Ort Saprophyt wird damit medial in den öffentlichen Raum, Cafés, Offspaces, Galerien und Clubs übertragen und aufgelöst.

In 1970 the Belgian concept artist Marcel Broodthaers decided to conduct an interview with a cat, asking numerous slightly esotheric questions about trends in the the art market and issues of aesthetics. Naturally the cat answered in her appropriate way, miaowing and purring after every question. Nearly thirty years later, the French Philosopher Jacques Derrida similarly positioned the encounter with a cat as an event signifying the complex relationship between human and animal. Following a scene where his cat observes him stepping out of the shower he asks: "before the cat that looks at me naked, would I be ashamed like an animal that no longer has the sense of nudity? Or on the contrary, like a man who retains the sense of his nudity? Who am I therefore? Who is it that I am (following)? Whom should this be asked of if not of the other? And perhaps of the cat itself? (Jacques Derrida, 1997).
These two positions became the starting point for the exhibition humanimals - an infraspecies exploration, which showcases a range of international artists who approach the emergence of the dividing line between human and animal. In his book "the open" Giorgio Agamben traces the history of the philosophical operation aimed at bringing about what it means to be human, a process he calls "the anthropological machine". This process has seen many different stations, from Descartes
characterisation of animals as mechanical entities lacking a soul, over Jakob von Uexkülls declaration of a multitude of different parallel lifeworlds, towards Donna Haraway's notion of animals as "significant others". The artists in humanimals - an infraspecies exploration engage with this "anthropological machine" according to their respective practices, ranging from photography over painting, drawing, video and installation.

Panel Discussion: Autistic architecture and advanced urban marginality

Axel Stockburger (Artist)
Discussion moderated by: Max Kintisch
Contemporary architecture is marked by the proliferation of sublime landmark buildings, of icons serially produced by a few gifted individuals that more often than not remain indifferent to the local context in which their products are embedded in. What Maria Kaika calls autistic architecture is a practice of thinking and planning the urban that demonstrates a "pathological self-absorption and preoccupation with the self to the exclusion of the outside world"'. In the world city, the sublime ghettos in the sky of Nouvel, Liebeskind and the likes coexist with concentrated pockets of urban poverty build on the sediments of old and ultimately undesirable infrastructures. The icons of this new architecture give up on the possibility to "reclaim, remake or re-impose meaning" for the city, only to leave behind an accumulating "sediment" of old, worn-out junk spaces on its margins each time the tide goes in and out.

You sometimes need a label that does not necessarily provide an instrument for locating anything but may be used like a screwdriver to open something within an institution. (Simonetta Ferfoglia, gangart)
The exhibition Troubling Research. Performing Knowledge in the Arts presents results of investigations, discussions, and other processes that have taken place at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in the context of the interdisciplinary research project of the same name supported by the WWTF. The artists and theorists participating in the project deal with the institutional desire for modes of cooperation between art and science, putting the new disciplinary formation that presently establishes itself under the name of "artistic research" or "art-based research" at art universities under pressure in argumentatively aesthetic terms.
Exhibition: Nothing in the World but Youth
Turner Contemporary
Rendezvous
Margate
Kent CT9 1HG
17 September 2011 - 8 January 2012
Inspired by Margate, a seaside town associated throughout history with youth experience, Nothing in the World But Youth encompasses the excitement, energy and pulsating creativity of the young, bringing together over 200 works by 94 artists in an examination of youth. The exhibition reflects and examines the complex picture of teenage lives and the differing views society has of its young people since the end of the nineteenth century. It includes works by internationally and nationally acclaimed artists, including Henry Moore, Peter Blake, Sarah Lucas, Andy Warhol, Mark Leckey, Jim Lambie and David Hockney.
These will be exhibited alongside early works by JMW Turner, who visited Margate regularly during his own adolescence.
The exhibition will take four main themes as a starting point to consider society's ambivalent views of its own young people, whilst celebrating teenagers' vibrant culture and the important role they play in society: Place, Space and Territory; Groups and Individuals; Rebellion and Responsibility; and Boys, Girls, Sexuality and Growing Up.
Reflecting the vibrancy of youth culture, it will also include objects such as a jacket customised by David Bowie as a teenager, iconic footwear, and a collection of magazines, posters, and other memorabilia from the post-punk period from the Mott Collection. There will also be a special selection of films about adolescence available for visitors to watch at their leisure.
“Nothing in the World But Youth is an exciting and vibrant exhibition containing a huge range of artworks. Although it focuses on what it is to be young, the theme is universal and the content is sure to spark memories for all our visitors, young or old. The theme of youth is also particularly relevant to Margate, and the town’s own connection with youth culture”
Victoria Pomery, Director Turner Contemporary.

Exhibition: After The End / Faux Raccords
Edificio de Tabacalera, Madrid - 16 April - 16 May 2009 - OPENING on April 16 > 19:00
"After the end / Faux raccords" is a research project about the possible images within our society of omnipresent images. The project is approached critically and reflexively, using the internet as a medium and singular aesthetic approaches in order to essentially question our era: signs and images being recycled, their misappropriation, their suspension, data circulation through the internet, work, economy, utopia. This exhibition is interrupted by breaks where links question our image within contemporary culture.

Screening: ritesinstitute - Austrian Art Videos/Films
19/4/09 - 20:00h - CCA Center for Contemporary Art, 5 Kalisher St., Tel Aviv
Parallel to the „Oy Wina“ Film festival in the cinematheque, the Center of Contemporary Art, shows a compilation of nine Austrian art videos at the suggestion of the city of Vienna. The vdeos range from the avant-garde of the 1960ies/1970ies (Valie Export, Kurt Kren) to the contemporary digital and conceptual video art (Michael Aschauer, Klub Zwei, Virgil Widrich, Axel Stockburger). Although this sample consists of a variety of artistic approaches, all the projects have one aspect in common: they question the mode of the medium „film,“ exploring its construction of perception and „cultural memory“ through the production of certain images.

What is real? how can we be sure that this world is nothing more than an illusion, and that life is just a dream? ‘Real life’ is an exhibition in which artists use film and photography as a means to capture their own sensations and experience of the external, whether analytical, intellectual or emotional, and allow us a transitory, illuminated insight into the world from behind their eyes.

SECESSION, Vienna, Thursday, December 13, 2007, 7-9 pm
The Presentation is part of a series of events called 6 sessions that runs until January 2008. The films of the American artists Gabriel Shalom and Nate Harrison presented by Axel Stockburger were first seen in Europe in 2005 as part of the screening program organized in Stuttgart by Cornelia and Holger Lund of FLUCTUATING IMAGES.
HOUSE (USA, 2005) by Gabriel Shalom
is a video documentation on the various styles of house music and the corresponding music machines, such as the legendary Roland TB 303 Bass Line.
BASSLINE BASELINE by Nate Harrison (USA, 2005)
is a video essay that follows the invention, the failure, and the subsequent return of the Roland TB 303 Bass Line over the last two decades of the 20th century. After the screening, Axel Stockburger, prompted by an idea from the French theorist Jacques Attali, will consider the extent to which developments affecting technological, economic, and social aspects of the musical field have consequences for the cultural landscape as a whole.

Exhibition: Zero Gamer
At the London Games Festival Fringe 2007, HTTP Gallery presents the Zero Gamer exhibition in the festival lounge at 01zero-one before its presentation at HTTP Gallery. 22-26.10.07- continues at HTTP gallery -2-18.10.07.
Curated by Ruth Catlow, Marc Garrett (HTTP/Furtherfield.org) and Corrado Morgana.
Zero Gamer looks at games played, unplayed and unplayable, the spectator and the spectacle. Sometimes we just like to watch, and machinima, gameplay videos and spectator gaming events take the activity out of interactivity. Zero Gamer presents games that play themselves, video documents of in-game performance, game engine experiments and challenging documentaries on gameplay.

Exhibition: Images
a project by spike art magazine in cooperation with Into Position
Opening: 25.09., 6 pm
Duration: 26.09. until 07.10.
Bauernmarkt 1, 2. Stock, 1100 Vienna One artistic work leads several different lives: as an original, a reproduction, a story and a memory. The exhibition Images is concerned with the idea of the reproduction as a picture. Not as appropriation, but rather as part of everyday life: the reproduction of artistic works in catalogues, books, magazines, portfolios, press folders, archives and on websites, as well as their aesthetic structures. In the variety of ways they appear, these “secondary pictures”, which are omnipresent in the art world, constitute an enormous parallel exhibition above and beyond temporal and local conditions. In this sense, these “pictures of pictures” are not actually a secondary phenomenon at all, but a separate field with its own definable significance. Images asserts that parallel pictures are autonomous and have an aura of their own, which is derived from the particular features of their materials, colours and dimensions, but is also based on the paths these pictures take through the imagination - as well as the pragmatism of their distribution.
With: John Armleder, Daniel Baumann, Catrin Bolt, Burghard, Plamen Dejanoff, Severin Dünser, Christian Egger, Cyprien Gaillard, Mario García Torres, Liam Gillick, Hans-Jürgen Hafner, Nicolas Jasmin, Christian Kobald, Sonia Leimer, Christian Mayer, Jonathan Monk, Marcus Neufanger, Flora Neuwirth, Falke Pisano, Seth Price, Stefan Sandner, Christoph Steinegger, Axel Stockburger, Betty Tompkins, Rita Vitorelli, Arye Wachsmuth

OPENING 26 JULY, 6PM - 11AM-8PM, 26 JULY-1 SEPTEMBER

Curated by Jonathan Carroll
'Imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption. It's madness. Nowadays the Controllers won't approve of any new game unless it can be shown that it requires at least as much apparatus as the most complicated of existing games.' Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, 1932. Play Safe is a group exhibition exploring the interest of artists in several aspects of the creativity of play, from children's inventiveness and adventure to artists who use new media to explore the area of computer games. While play has developed into a sophisticated means of simulating war it has also become a method of peaceful protest against civil and other injustices. In an increasingly regulated society, play is one of the few remaining arenas where scenarios can be tested without risk of censure. Play Safe encompasses play from the innocent play-acting of children to adults who return to a form of play as a political tool.
Invited Talk: Wargames - Battlefields in the Playgrounds
Project Art Center, Dublin, Ireland - 26 JULY 6PM - 4.30PM
The Presentation addresses the overwhelming presence of war related
imagery and action in contemporary digital games. It aims to trace the relationship between
military research and the entertainment industry that has led to the emergence of the military
entertainment complex and presents critical approaches to this subject by artists.

SPEAKING OF OTHERS
Der Vortrag positioniert Spiel als einen idealen Ort um den Begriff
menschlicher Freiheit zu untersuchen. Unter anderem wird die paradoxe
Situation dass gerade aus regelgebundenem Verhalten im Spiel eine
spezifische Form der Freiheit entstehen kann angesprochen. Die Rolle
des Spiels als einer Form, die alle anderen menschlichen
Tätigkeitsfelder gegenwärtiger Gesellschaften beeinflusst, wird dabei
in Bezug zu Fragen nach den Bedingungen politischer
Handlungsfähigkeit gesetzt.

Group-exhibition curated by Carl Goodman (Museum of the Moving Image, New York) and Daphne Dragona (Mediaterra Festival) .
Gameworld explores video games as an art form and presents contemporary art related to video games. Via these dual lines of investigation, the exhibition explores video and computer games as entertainment, art form, agent of innovation, and cultural force.
Gameworld is conceptualized as two hemispheres, one focusing on internal considerations (game history and design) and the other on external considerations (how games are shaping culture), linked via a third, intermediate, section devoted to alternative games and current games research.

The group exhibition GROUNDED brings together a diverse range of international artists. It aims to show work that deals with processes of modeling and simulation, activities that form the conceptual backbone of digital culture. However all of the artists involved are tackling this subject with an array of practices that are firmly rooted in physical environments, from architecture to installation thus addressing important elements of digital culture with essentially non-digital means. In this sense the exhibition attempts to question the notion of media art as overtly shaped by technology in order to foster an understanding that reaches beyond technological determinism.

Exhibition: Reboot - Works from the Jim Barr and Mary Barr Collection
Saturday 26.08.06 - Sunday 12.11.06 - Dunedin Public Art Gallery, Dunedin, New Zealand
My piece PSX Warriors: Gran Turismo is part of the collection/show.
In 2001, the exhibition Good Work brought classic works from the Jim Barr and Mary Barr loan collection together with works recently acquired by the Wellington collectors. Reboot takes stock of a further five years in the collection’s life and showcases the multimedia energy of their recent acquisitions – from videos through to wall paintings. Including young New Zealand artists such as Eileen Leung and Glen Hayward alongside international luminaries such as Paul McCarthy, Ricky Swallow and Gillian Wearing, Reboot reveals the international range of the Barrs’ recent acquisitions, and testifies to their belief that collecting art ought to be a ‘partisan, passionate and polemical’ act.

EXHIBITION: ENTRECIDO | INTERLACE
Opening 08.04.3021 – Pavilhão Branco Jardim do Palácio Pimenta, Campo Grande, 1700-091 Lisbon
The exhibition Entretecido | Interlace at Pavilhão Branco features the work by twenty-six artists considering aesthetics and politics of textile. Due to multiple lockdowns caused by the pandemic situation we spend more and more time online and in isolation. The haptic experience gains relevance to maintain a mental connection with the corporeal.
The exhibition Entretecido | Interlace presents and analyses the material properties of textiles in an attempt to create a leap beyond the immaterial life online, while also demonstrating some of the connections that exist between the digital and the real life realm. While the principal focus is on artists working with different forms of textile, the exhibition features various formats, including performance and lens-based media. In addition to surveying the techniques of textile production, Entretecido | Interlace attempts to address some of the ramifications of textile production for fashion, architecture, as codification or expression of identity politics or regional folklore. These subjects are not exclusive, yet they have been arranged in chapters for the exhibition and accompanying publication and can be detected without adhering to the spatial divisions of Pavilhão Branco.

EXHIBITION: Cybernetics of the Poor, 17/12 2020 — 28/3 2021
17/12 2020 — 28/3 2021
Museumsquartier, Vienna
In cooperation with Tabakalera International Centre for Contemporary Culture, Donostia/San Sebastián
Cybernetics of the Poor examines the relationship between art and cybernetics and their intersections in the past and present. From the late 1940s on, the term cybernetics began to be used to describe self-regulating systems that measure, anticipate, and react in order to intervene in changing conditions. Initially relevant mostly in the fields of administration, planning, and criminology, and early ecology, under digital capitalism cybernetics has become an economic factor (see: big data). In such a cybernetic totality art must respond to a new situation: as a cybernetics of the poor.
This exhibition presents works that use the powerlessness of art—its poverty—vis-à-vis the cybernetic machine to propose countermodels. In addition, the show gathers recent and historical works by artists who believed in cybernetics as a participatory, playful practice or were pioneers in delineating a counter-cybernetics. How much of the “counterforce” (Thomas Pynchon) exists within art when it is conceived as a cybernetics of the poor?
Cybernetics of the Poor was shown in its first iteration at Tabakalera in the spring and summer of 2020. The subtitle of that exhibition, Tutorials, Exercises and Scores, named three different genres curators Diedrich Diederichsen and Oier Etxeberria identified as using either anticybernetic or cybernetic artistic strategies. In addition to presenting a selection of examples of these genres, the show’s second installment in Vienna focuses on cybernetic instruments of social control and methods of circumventing it as well as the art market’s very own economic cybernetics.
The exhibition is complemented by an extensive public program, taking place live as well as in digital space. It includes artistic activations of the exhibition space, interventions by participants in the “Cybernetics of the Poor” seminar (Master in Critical Studies course at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna), and a symposium, as well as a multifaceted program of guided tours.

EVENT: Deep Horizon - The Culture of Forecasting
Deep Horizon - The Culture of Forecasting
October 17-19, 2019 at Kunsthalle am Karlsplatz, Treitlstrasse 2, 1040 Vienna
Forecasting is an eminently cultural issue, because it provides an aesthetic of the unknown and gives shape to the uncertain, actualizing the future into the present, in order to make the unlikely more likely, or to prevent the likely from happening. During the event Deep Horizon: The Culture of Forecasting, we bring together the audience with artists, researchers and activists who deal with the role of forecasting as a way of inventing the future, for talks, discussions, workshops and game playing. Think and act ahead!

FILM SCREENING: Красная звезда / RED STARS
Красная звезда / RED STARS is a film that engages with Alexander Bogdanov’s science fiction novel "Red Star" (1908), which envisions a utopian society on Mars and it’s contemporary reception in the context of contemporary renewed efforts to colonize Mars. RED STARS relates to central topics of Bogdanov’s pre-revolutionary socialist imagination, reaching from collectivity and identity, over gender relations, art, science towards economy and education, through the use of interviews with, among others, Alexander Malinosky, Alla Mitrofanova, Pavel Arseynev, Anastasia Gacheva, Anna Gorskaya, Alexandra Simakova and Boris Klushnikov.

Exhibition Fr | Sa | Mo 14:00-18:00
The exhibition entfaltet deals with questions about reinterpretation and notation as strategies to preserve and mediate timebased media art.
What does this mean in the museum context, in matters pertaining to preservation?
And in the case of reinterpretation when do we speak of a new work?
Which information a score should contain
and how should this information be displayed?
The artworks, commissioned by IMA Institute of Media Archeology, shown in the exhibition entfalten – Axel Stockburgers reinterpretation Read my Lips of Gerda Lampalzers Translation from 2003 and Seppo Gründlers reinterpretation Whiteout of Richard Kriesches Blackout from 1974, as well as the score of the interactive sculpture You Never Know by Hillevi Munthe and Elisabeth Schimana, generated in a four day worklab by the artists in collaboration with the preservation expert Claudia Röck – are possible answers to these questions. In opposite the exhibition shows documentations of the reenterpretated works Translation and Blackout, as well as the sculpture You Never Know.

Canned Laughter – a group exhibition composed of a selection of works by Tomas Eller (Vienna), David Muth (Turku/Vienna) and Axel Stockburger (Vienna). The show is concerned with the forces of expansion and normalisation, which accompany contemporary forms of globalisation.
In order to achieve continued growth, present day capital increasingly depends on the establishment and implementation of formats and protocols that guarantee smooth transactions across different national and local boundaries. While the material effects of this development are perfectly demonstrated by the introduction of DIN norms for technological devices, postage and container systems – optimising the commercialisation of regional resources – there also exist cultural and political forms of formatting that are increasingly visible, from popular culture to contemporary art. Just as the canned laughter, that we have become used to as a protocol of audience reactions, heavily deployed in the entertainment industries’ soap operas, these forms of standardisation are often so present that they are screened out by contemporary consumers of culture. Indeed, they often find their way into subconscious regions, where they reside as ghostly artifacts of a presumed naturalisation – canned laughter becomes the “natural” atmosphere of such forms of entertainment.
The works in this exhibition engage with these phenomena from a range of different perspectives and practices. Thomas Eller presents us with the visual translation of a process of expansion as disintegration that precisely points towards the unavoidable forces of contingency, making usage of techniques deployed in open-cast mining across the borders. David Muth deals with aesthetic protocols of domesticated natural forms, in his series of artificial flower decorations provided by a global lifestyle and decoration behemoth. In the work Bestiarium, by Axel Stockburger, the process of localization in the wake of the global implementation of cultural narratives such as the Pokemon universe, becomes the starting point for a poetry beyond the local. Stockburger’s Transformer videos engage with the cosplay phenomenon and the way it has become a global cultural attractor where fans develop their own take on the canon of corporate fantasy universes.
Group Exhibition: Technopolitics Timeline
Date: 24 June – 1 July 2017
TECHNOPOLITICS sets up a CURATED KNOWLEDGE SPACE that offers a discursive framework for exploring the genesis and current configuration of the Information Society.
The main visual element of the Technopolitics Timeline is a large-scale print that traces the evolution of our shared techno-cultural realities. The Timeline’s 500 entries draw attention to different events and genealogies from the fields of art, culture, media, politics, economy, technology, and social life that have been relevant for the shaping of the Information Society.
The project’s common objective is to investigate from a critical, explorative standpoint the heterogenic historical processes that are structured by techno-economic paradigms. An extensive workshop and discussion program focuses on trans-disciplinary and trans-cultural conversations to connect these processes to the cultural forms of the respective historical moment and place.

Group Exhibition: Welt Kompakt? – Out of Brazil
Performances by Pêdra Costa, Fabiana Faleiros, Libidiunga Cardosa / Caetano Carvalho / MARSSARES, Juliana Dos Santos, Kadija de Paula & Chico Togni und Camilla Rocha Campos
The exhibition project “WELT KOMPAKT?” focuses on transdisciplinary artistic practices that have come into play along with our increasingly more direct access to information, communication tools, and social media. The use of social media channels such as Instagram and Facebook alters our sense of near and far, our awareness of intimacy and distance, of bodily presence, absence, and political mobility. What influence does social media have on how so-called “glocal” (global & local) projects and ways of living are organized? How does social media affect processes around freedom of expression and freedom of choice, or the democratization of knowledge and information transfers?

GROUP EXHIBITION: Tracing Information Society—a Timeline New Paradigms
Friday January 27 to Sunday February 5,
OPENING Thursday January 26, 7:00 pm
In collaboration with the Technopolitics working group, transmediale presents the exhibition “Tracing Information Society – a Timeline,” shown at neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (nGbK).
For “Tracing Information Society – a Timeline,” Technopolitics turns the exhibition venue into a curated space for knowledge. A twelve-meter-long timeline depicts the development of the Information Society from 1900 until today. While moving along the timeline, visitors experience the emergence, transformation, and impact of the Information Society and the diverse influences on cultural, academic, or political events. The goal of the project is to critique and overcome the neoliberal (dis)order of information.
Technopolitics additionally provides an extensive collection of corresponding material in the time-table format, encouraging a deeper examination of the subject matter. The exhibition is accompanied by a series of workshops, lectures, and salons.
Among the participants are Wolfgang Ernst, Anselm Franke, Verina Gfader, Margarete Jahrmann, Jacob Lund and Cornelia Sollfrank.

Film program curated by by Juli Carson and Michael Moshe Dahan
Wednesday, November 09, 2016, 19:00 at mumok cinema, Vienna
In the vortex of runaway global debt, Black Monday 2008 is the gravitational pull for part 2. At stake are the virtualized mechanisms of financial markets—algorithms, dark pools and high frequency trading—that yield a lack of lack. Produced from simultaneous frenzy and malaise, these films attribute meaning to an historical trauma that can be belatedly described but never quite named. Our backdrop is present-day Wall Street: a digitized platform where dematerialized currency brings forth a Möbius-like circuit of continuity that knows neither beginning nor end.

Who are we? What are the traits that define us? There are several biological – and therefore hereditary – physical features that represent an identity. Sex, hair and eye color, body height, fingerprints, … characteristics which are hard to change by ourselves. The medial, social, and constructed forms of identity on the other hand are fairly easy to manipulate. How much identity or how many identities do we need, and what do we need them for? Where does the desire to reinvent ourselves, to have one or several alter egos, to control the way we are perceived from outside come from? What is the difference between a persona and an avatar? Is it a desire of all humans to be creator and creature at the same time? But not just the possible ways to create an identity are rapidly evolving; the methods to examine and verify these identities are also becoming more refined. Our identity is not just checked when we travel but every time we go shopping, when we enter public spaces, at the doctor’s, at restaurants, in social media, … how are we dealing with the data streams we produce? How do we behave, how do we protect ourselves? How are we being mapped? What influence do migrant scenarios have on the construction of identities? What about pen names and fictional characters? paraflows .XI will be looking into the components of identity and trying to find variables to put these components together in different ways.

Money, Good and Evil. A Visual History of Economics
5.3.2016 – 19.6.2016
Opening 4.3.2016 - 19:00
In the spring of 2016, the exhibition »Money, Good and Evil« will be on view at Staatliche Kunsthalle, Baden-Baden Museum, and Casino Baden-Baden. The neighboring Theater Baden-Baden will present »Wirtschaftskomödie« by Elfriede Jelinek.
Money is not ahistorical. This is the fundamental premise of the exhibition. As the visual history of economics shows, the ways in which money is depicted by artists have changed repeatedly over the centuries.
In contrast to the classical economic view, which postulated the existence of a Homo Oeconomicus as a constant over the centuries, the visual history of economics suggests that this figure reinvented itself again and again. This seems to raise the question of when our current understanding of money will once again change. For example, the social rise of tradesmen to important figures in public life in the Netherlands and in Southern Germany of the 16th century meant that they could now present themselves with the insignia of their new wealth. But during the course of the next century, a new pictorial genre emerged, in which money is represented together with skulls and assembled to vanitas images and moral allegories. Until far into the 20th century, there were almost no representations of money without references to such social or moral aspects. This changed with Andy Warhol’s large-format serial depictions of dollar bills.

Group Exhibition: Libidinal Economies: Art in the Age of Bull Markets
Libidinal Economies: Art in the Age of Bull Markets
Curated by Juli Carson and Michael Moshe Dahan
Oct 03, 2015 to Dec 12, 2015
Reception: Saturday, October 3, 2015 - 2:00pm to 5:00pm
Libindinal Economies: Art in the Age of Bull Markets takes as its economic mise-en-scène the bull run market of 1982 (that
crashed in 1987), tracing its origins in monetary policies of the 1970’s, and mapping its echoes in the recent redux of
this bull run from 2009 to the present. The New York Stock Exchange (where the selling and buying of securities, currency and commodities takes place)and the art world (where the critique ofWall Street culture is derived and scripted) presumably constitute two distinct psychic and fiscal economieslocated in two different physical locations. The former is supposed to be rational, mathematical and regulated, the latter libidinal, creative and subversive. However, that isn’t true. The art world, in fact, has proven to be the bohemian substrate of the real deal, the bottom line, of the financial market. The gallery system, in the 80s and even more so recently, is the physical location – the center of mass – where these two celestial bodies effortlessly orbit each other with near mathematical precision. In this way, the economic and aesthetic spheres share a gravitational pull because they are – libidinally and economically – inextricably connected. Given so, Libidinal Economies showcases film works –experimental, narrative, and documentary – that are provoked by this cultural condition. As such, we are to consider these films as demonstrating various critical positions of resistance to the art market. But in so doing, this critique is made, naturally, from the inside, as there no longer is any way out of this closed system.

Codes drive imaging media in science, art and architecture; inform economy and politics; facilitate social practices and digital communication; define the New Aesthetics of algorithmic procedures. Their discrete operations, executed in between processes of modeling, evaluation, debugging and optimization, are, however, subject to the contingency of unexpected events and failures.
“Glitch" is a term that denotes electric and electronic malfunctions in information data flows. Against the background of a world of experience shaped by technology and media, the term describes flaws and blurs manifesting in image interferences and bugs, amongst others. While they display undesired problem areas in the art of engineering, their effects and artifacts have been made the material of aesthetic experiments in media art and related fields since the 1960s.
The “peaks” of these glitches, however, increasingly flash over and affect the social realm. SOCIAL GLITCH, therefore, takes such events as its starting point for an actualization and reconsideration beyond media-immanent questions. Instead, the project focuses on new approaches from different artistic fields that address the performance of events, which in a kind of “negative transcendence” exert their influence into society and individual biographies. Thus, they reveal central issues at stake today, be they caused by defects (such as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill), produced deliberately (such as manipulations disclosed by Edward Snowdon) or the result of algorithmic forms of speech (such as financial flash crashes). We coined the term “social glitch” to address these events and occurrences in terms of a historic-technological continuity of intensifying escalations.
SOCIAL GLITCH assembles artistic projects that range from subversive and playful interventions, fictive and performative narratives to speculative experiments and research-based visualizations and interpretations of factual circumstances. The common theme behind these different approaches is an (often activist) engagement with and a radical interest in the “deep horizons” of the sea changes we are witnessing today, together with attempts to “enhance the resolution” of what we perceive and how we might thus improve knowledge and informed decision-making. The (media) aesthetics of error, which have shaped the glitch theme in recent decades, are thus expanded and differentiated in favor of an aesthetics in the field of consequences to evoke and formulate concrete social and political potentials besides artistic ones.
Hence, SOCIAL GLITCH examines the controversial consequence whether art still delivers radically critical aesthetics beyond the interests of the contemporary art market by taking a leading role in conceptualizing and focusing our perception for cultural, social and political change.

The departure point of the exhibition is the very question of launching a new art space. It hints at the realities in which Rib begins its operation. The aim of this exhibition is to introduce Rib as an ambitious gesture of minimal expectations, and to commit to the ‘Real’ of art. The displayed works remind us of the often unsettling ambiguities in the art world and the affirmative possibilities within its given limitations.

Group Exhibition: 12. Bienal de la Habana
12 .Bienal de la Habana, May 22 – June 22 2015
Between the Idea and the Experience
Amid the celebrations for the 30th anniversary of the Havana Biennial, the curatorial team Jorge Fernández Torres, Margarita González Lorente, Nelson Herrera Ysla, José Manuel Noceda Fernández, Ibis Hernández Abascal, Margarita Sánchez presents the Twelfth Edition to be held between 22 May and 22 June 2015. With Nikolaus Gansterer, Johann Lurf und Axel Stockburger three artists from Austria also participate in the Havana Biennial. The projects were realized in Havana in collaboration with the Austrian curator Ursula Maria Probst and the curatorial team.
Axel Stockburger’s contribution to the twelfth Havana Biennial is a video piece entitled Mi Gesto Final. The video was shot in the countryside outside Havana and relates to the Cuban computer game; Gesta Final. In this first-person shooter, players can experience the Cuban revolution from an individual perspective. The video piece consists of tracking shots through dense jungle, grasslands, and mountain forest, while the audio consists of accounts, from different players, of their (virtual) experiences of the revolution. Mi Gesto Final engages with the meaning of the history of the Cuban revolution for contemporary young Cubans and asks how historical events are mediated by digital games. It is precisely the historical character of an event such as a revolution that stands in stark contrast with the perpetual repetition of actions in a computer game. In this sense the piece opens up a space for the negotiation of the possibilities of radical political action within technological and cultural frameworks characterised by digital simulation.
The video will be presented in Havana by four people with tablet PCs and headphones, who offer these devices to the audience and thus enable a very private and individual viewing experience. This form of presentation is conceptually informed by the current system of digital media dissemination in Cuba, called “Pakete”, where individuals share data via hard drives and flash media.
The project was funded by the Austrian Bundeskanzleramt für Kunst, as well as the Austrian Embassy in Cuba.

Proust’s Questionnaire brings together the work of six artists working in different media who respond to important questions of culture with an emphasis on language and its transformative potential as an analytical movement that is at once combat and caress. The form of the questionnaire was not originally intended for artists, but refers to social practices in the delicate salons and drawing rooms of 19th century Paris and London. In Prousts Questionnaire, the hybrid emerges in the steady and meditative repetition of homely questions. Are these artists in love? Yes, since they are waiting. As such, desire – which is to say the interstice between these artists and the Other – constitutes a transformative temporality from which new agency can become.

The presentation Stockburger/Penker/Faust engages with the relationship between the age old cultural form of the mask and contemporary forms of subjectification that owe to masking, such as fashion or Avatars in Online Games and cosplay. As Claude Levi Strauss has shown, the mask can become that which separates nature from culture, while at the same time enabling the transformation into a spirit or an animal, in animistic and spiritist cultures. The presented works of Elisabeth Penker, Axel Stockburger and Marina Faust aim to situate themselves in the interstices between mask and person.

Solo Exhibition - Poster Series: Worldeater Saprophyt
Worldeater: Saprophyt, from April 2013
Series of posters for public space, 594mmx841mm, 6 color print, 2013
500 / of which edition of 100 numbered/signed
Axel Stockburgers project for Saprophyt consists of a series of posters that will be visible in teh Viennese public space from April 2013. The starting point for this poster is a listing of all the names of people who were engaged throughout the last 4 years of Saprophyts existence as an art space. In this sense the work continues Stockburgers engagement with forms of representation of what he understands as "cultural islands". This approach takes a critical stance in relation to the economics of attention that are increasingly influencing the field of art production and reception. Saprophyt as a physical space is translated into a network of relations and infiltrates public space.
Plakatserie im öffentlichen Raum, 594x841mm, Offsetdruck, 6-farbig, 2013
500 Stück / Edition von 100 Stück nummeriert/signiert
Axel Stockburgers Arbeit für Saprophyt besteht aus einer Serie an Posters, die ab April 2013 im öffentlichen Raum in Wien plakatiert werden. Der Ausgangspunkt für diese Plakate ist eine Auflistung der Eigennamen aller bis dato an Saprophyt beteiligten Personen die graphisch als eine Art Insel von Bezügen repräsentiert werden. Einerseits folgt Stockburger damit seiner Untersuchung voneinander getrennter kultureller Inseln, wie sie in seiner Serie "Worldeater" anhand von verschiedenen Formen von Auflistungen erscheinen. Andererseits wird hier die im Rahmen der Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie stattfindende Wertsteigerung von Namen als Marken, auch und gerade im Feld der Bildenden Kunst, in den Vordergrund gerückt. Der physikalische Ort Saprophyt wird damit medial in den öffentlichen Raum, Cafés, Offspaces, Galerien und Clubs übertragen und aufgelöst.

In 1970 the Belgian concept artist Marcel Broodthaers decided to conduct an interview with a cat, asking numerous slightly esotheric questions about trends in the the art market and issues of aesthetics. Naturally the cat answered in her appropriate way, miaowing and purring after every question. Nearly thirty years later, the French Philosopher Jacques Derrida similarly positioned the encounter with a cat as an event signifying the complex relationship between human and animal. Following a scene where his cat observes him stepping out of the shower he asks: "before the cat that looks at me naked, would I be ashamed like an animal that no longer has the sense of nudity? Or on the contrary, like a man who retains the sense of his nudity? Who am I therefore? Who is it that I am (following)? Whom should this be asked of if not of the other? And perhaps of the cat itself? (Jacques Derrida, 1997).
These two positions became the starting point for the exhibition humanimals - an infraspecies exploration, which showcases a range of international artists who approach the emergence of the dividing line between human and animal. In his book "the open" Giorgio Agamben traces the history of the philosophical operation aimed at bringing about what it means to be human, a process he calls "the anthropological machine". This process has seen many different stations, from Descartes
characterisation of animals as mechanical entities lacking a soul, over Jakob von Uexkülls declaration of a multitude of different parallel lifeworlds, towards Donna Haraway's notion of animals as "significant others". The artists in humanimals - an infraspecies exploration engage with this "anthropological machine" according to their respective practices, ranging from photography over painting, drawing, video and installation.

Panel Discussion: Autistic architecture and advanced urban marginality

Gabu Heindl (Architect, GABU Heindl Architecture)

Axel Stockburger (Artist)
Discussion moderated by: Max Kintisch
Contemporary architecture is marked by the proliferation of sublime landmark buildings, of icons serially produced by a few gifted individuals that more often than not remain indifferent to the local context in which their products are embedded in. What Maria Kaika calls autistic architecture is a practice of thinking and planning the urban that demonstrates a "pathological self-absorption and preoccupation with the self to the exclusion of the outside world"'. In the world city, the sublime ghettos in the sky of Nouvel, Liebeskind and the likes coexist with concentrated pockets of urban poverty build on the sediments of old and ultimately undesirable infrastructures. The icons of this new architecture give up on the possibility to "reclaim, remake or re-impose meaning" for the city, only to leave behind an accumulating "sediment" of old, worn-out junk spaces on its margins each time the tide goes in and out.

You sometimes need a label that does not necessarily provide an instrument for locating anything but may be used like a screwdriver to open something within an institution. (Simonetta Ferfoglia, gangart)
The exhibition Troubling Research. Performing Knowledge in the Arts presents results of investigations, discussions, and other processes that have taken place at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in the context of the interdisciplinary research project of the same name supported by the WWTF. The artists and theorists participating in the project deal with the institutional desire for modes of cooperation between art and science, putting the new disciplinary formation that presently establishes itself under the name of "artistic research" or "art-based research" at art universities under pressure in argumentatively aesthetic terms.
Exhibition: Nothing in the World but Youth
Turner Contemporary
Rendezvous
Margate
Kent CT9 1HG
17 September 2011 - 8 January 2012
Inspired by Margate, a seaside town associated throughout history with youth experience, Nothing in the World But Youth encompasses the excitement, energy and pulsating creativity of the young, bringing together over 200 works by 94 artists in an examination of youth. The exhibition reflects and examines the complex picture of teenage lives and the differing views society has of its young people since the end of the nineteenth century. It includes works by internationally and nationally acclaimed artists, including Henry Moore, Peter Blake, Sarah Lucas, Andy Warhol, Mark Leckey, Jim Lambie and David Hockney.
These will be exhibited alongside early works by JMW Turner, who visited Margate regularly during his own adolescence.
The exhibition will take four main themes as a starting point to consider society's ambivalent views of its own young people, whilst celebrating teenagers' vibrant culture and the important role they play in society: Place, Space and Territory; Groups and Individuals; Rebellion and Responsibility; and Boys, Girls, Sexuality and Growing Up.
Reflecting the vibrancy of youth culture, it will also include objects such as a jacket customised by David Bowie as a teenager, iconic footwear, and a collection of magazines, posters, and other memorabilia from the post-punk period from the Mott Collection. There will also be a special selection of films about adolescence available for visitors to watch at their leisure.
“Nothing in the World But Youth is an exciting and vibrant exhibition containing a huge range of artworks. Although it focuses on what it is to be young, the theme is universal and the content is sure to spark memories for all our visitors, young or old. The theme of youth is also particularly relevant to Margate, and the town’s own connection with youth culture”
Victoria Pomery, Director Turner Contemporary.

Exhibition: After The End / Faux Raccords
Edificio de Tabacalera, Madrid - 16 April - 16 May 2009 - OPENING on April 16 > 19:00
"After the end / Faux raccords" is a research project about the possible images within our society of omnipresent images. The project is approached critically and reflexively, using the internet as a medium and singular aesthetic approaches in order to essentially question our era: signs and images being recycled, their misappropriation, their suspension, data circulation through the internet, work, economy, utopia. This exhibition is interrupted by breaks where links question our image within contemporary culture.

Screening: ritesinstitute - Austrian Art Videos/Films
19/4/09 - 20:00h - CCA Center for Contemporary Art, 5 Kalisher St., Tel Aviv
Parallel to the „Oy Wina“ Film festival in the cinematheque, the Center of Contemporary Art, shows a compilation of nine Austrian art videos at the suggestion of the city of Vienna. The vdeos range from the avant-garde of the 1960ies/1970ies (Valie Export, Kurt Kren) to the contemporary digital and conceptual video art (Michael Aschauer, Klub Zwei, Virgil Widrich, Axel Stockburger). Although this sample consists of a variety of artistic approaches, all the projects have one aspect in common: they question the mode of the medium „film,“ exploring its construction of perception and „cultural memory“ through the production of certain images.

What is real? how can we be sure that this world is nothing more than an illusion, and that life is just a dream? ‘Real life’ is an exhibition in which artists use film and photography as a means to capture their own sensations and experience of the external, whether analytical, intellectual or emotional, and allow us a transitory, illuminated insight into the world from behind their eyes.

SECESSION, Vienna, Thursday, December 13, 2007, 7-9 pm
The Presentation is part of a series of events called 6 sessions that runs until January 2008. The films of the American artists Gabriel Shalom and Nate Harrison presented by Axel Stockburger were first seen in Europe in 2005 as part of the screening program organized in Stuttgart by Cornelia and Holger Lund of FLUCTUATING IMAGES.
HOUSE (USA, 2005) by Gabriel Shalom
is a video documentation on the various styles of house music and the corresponding music machines, such as the legendary Roland TB 303 Bass Line.
BASSLINE BASELINE by Nate Harrison (USA, 2005)
is a video essay that follows the invention, the failure, and the subsequent return of the Roland TB 303 Bass Line over the last two decades of the 20th century. After the screening, Axel Stockburger, prompted by an idea from the French theorist Jacques Attali, will consider the extent to which developments affecting technological, economic, and social aspects of the musical field have consequences for the cultural landscape as a whole.

Exhibition: Zero Gamer
At the London Games Festival Fringe 2007, HTTP Gallery presents the Zero Gamer exhibition in the festival lounge at 01zero-one before its presentation at HTTP Gallery. 22-26.10.07- continues at HTTP gallery -2-18.10.07.
Curated by Ruth Catlow, Marc Garrett (HTTP/Furtherfield.org) and Corrado Morgana.
Zero Gamer looks at games played, unplayed and unplayable, the spectator and the spectacle. Sometimes we just like to watch, and machinima, gameplay videos and spectator gaming events take the activity out of interactivity. Zero Gamer presents games that play themselves, video documents of in-game performance, game engine experiments and challenging documentaries on gameplay.
With: Myfanwy Ashmore, JODI, Axel Stockburger, Corrado Morgana, Eric Fredricksen, Ljudmila.

Exhibition: Images
a project by spike art magazine in cooperation with Into Position
Opening: 25.09., 6 pm
Duration: 26.09. until 07.10.
Bauernmarkt 1, 2. Stock, 1100 Vienna One artistic work leads several different lives: as an original, a reproduction, a story and a memory. The exhibition Images is concerned with the idea of the reproduction as a picture. Not as appropriation, but rather as part of everyday life: the reproduction of artistic works in catalogues, books, magazines, portfolios, press folders, archives and on websites, as well as their aesthetic structures. In the variety of ways they appear, these “secondary pictures”, which are omnipresent in the art world, constitute an enormous parallel exhibition above and beyond temporal and local conditions. In this sense, these “pictures of pictures” are not actually a secondary phenomenon at all, but a separate field with its own definable significance. Images asserts that parallel pictures are autonomous and have an aura of their own, which is derived from the particular features of their materials, colours and dimensions, but is also based on the paths these pictures take through the imagination - as well as the pragmatism of their distribution.
With: John Armleder, Daniel Baumann, Catrin Bolt, Burghard, Plamen Dejanoff, Severin Dünser, Christian Egger, Cyprien Gaillard, Mario García Torres, Liam Gillick, Hans-Jürgen Hafner, Nicolas Jasmin, Christian Kobald, Sonia Leimer, Christian Mayer, Jonathan Monk, Marcus Neufanger, Flora Neuwirth, Falke Pisano, Seth Price, Stefan Sandner, Christoph Steinegger, Axel Stockburger, Betty Tompkins, Rita Vitorelli, Arye Wachsmuth

OPENING 26 JULY, 6PM - 11AM-8PM, 26 JULY-1 SEPTEMBER

Curated by Jonathan Carroll
'Imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption. It's madness. Nowadays the Controllers won't approve of any new game unless it can be shown that it requires at least as much apparatus as the most complicated of existing games.' Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, 1932. Play Safe is a group exhibition exploring the interest of artists in several aspects of the creativity of play, from children's inventiveness and adventure to artists who use new media to explore the area of computer games. While play has developed into a sophisticated means of simulating war it has also become a method of peaceful protest against civil and other injustices. In an increasingly regulated society, play is one of the few remaining arenas where scenarios can be tested without risk of censure. Play Safe encompasses play from the innocent play-acting of children to adults who return to a form of play as a political tool.
Invited Talk: Wargames - Battlefields in the Playgrounds
Project Art Center, Dublin, Ireland - 26 JULY 6PM - 4.30PM
The Presentation addresses the overwhelming presence of war related
imagery and action in contemporary digital games. It aims to trace the relationship between
military research and the entertainment industry that has led to the emergence of the military
entertainment complex and presents critical approaches to this subject by artists.

SPEAKING OF OTHERS
Der Vortrag positioniert Spiel als einen idealen Ort um den Begriff
menschlicher Freiheit zu untersuchen. Unter anderem wird die paradoxe
Situation dass gerade aus regelgebundenem Verhalten im Spiel eine
spezifische Form der Freiheit entstehen kann angesprochen. Die Rolle
des Spiels als einer Form, die alle anderen menschlichen
Tätigkeitsfelder gegenwärtiger Gesellschaften beeinflusst, wird dabei
in Bezug zu Fragen nach den Bedingungen politischer
Handlungsfähigkeit gesetzt.

30/03/07 - 30/9/07 at LABORAL CENTRE FOR ART & CREATIVE INDUSTRIES, Gijon, Spain.
Group-exhibition curated by Carl Goodman (Museum of the Moving Image, New York) and Daphne Dragona (Mediaterra Festival) .
Gameworld explores video games as an art form and presents contemporary art related to video games. Via these dual lines of investigation, the exhibition explores video and computer games as entertainment, art form, agent of innovation, and cultural force.
Gameworld is conceptualized as two hemispheres, one focusing on internal considerations (game history and design) and the other on external considerations (how games are shaping culture), linked via a third, intermediate, section devoted to alternative games and current games research.

Opening night performance by Douglas Fishbone, 9pm
The group exhibition GROUNDED brings together a diverse range of international artists. It aims to show work that deals with processes of modeling and simulation, activities that form the conceptual backbone of digital culture. However all of the artists involved are tackling this subject with an array of practices that are firmly rooted in physical environments, from architecture to installation thus addressing important elements of digital culture with essentially non-digital means. In this sense the exhibition attempts to question the notion of media art as overtly shaped by technology in order to foster an understanding that reaches beyond technological determinism.

Exhibition: Reboot - Works from the Jim Barr and Mary Barr Collection
Saturday 26.08.06 - Sunday 12.11.06 - Dunedin Public Art Gallery, Dunedin, New Zealand
My piece PSX Warriors: Gran Turismo is part of the collection/show.
In 2001, the exhibition Good Work brought classic works from the Jim Barr and Mary Barr loan collection together with works recently acquired by the Wellington collectors. Reboot takes stock of a further five years in the collection’s life and showcases the multimedia energy of their recent acquisitions – from videos through to wall paintings. Including young New Zealand artists such as Eileen Leung and Glen Hayward alongside international luminaries such as Paul McCarthy, Ricky Swallow and Gillian Wearing, Reboot reveals the international range of the Barrs’ recent acquisitions, and testifies to their belief that collecting art ought to be a ‘partisan, passionate and polemical’ act.
