HOREO-GRAPHIC FIGURES

The artistic research project Choreo-graphic Figures: Deviations from the Line - by artist-performer Nikolaus Gansterer, choreographer-dancer Mariella Greil and writer-artist Emma Cocker – will take place in collaboration with AILab and ImPulsTanz Festival. Working in dialogue with “the sputniks” Alex Arteaga, Lilia Mestre, Christine de Smedt and special guests, the focus for the Summerlab Lab 2016 is on the choreo-graphic qualities of translational processes, shifts of attention, and modes of language. Evolving previous research around notation and radical scores of attention and embodied diagrams, the project focus now turns towards experimental forms of publication, explored through a series of public openings in various formats including lectures, workshops, and performances.

Two special intensives are scheduled and opened to a limited number of participants:
Intensive I (Shifts of Attention: vigilance, engagement and translational processes) on 23.07. + 24.07.2016 and Intensive II (Modes of Languages: words as material) on 30.07. + 31.07.2016. Participation in both sessions is suggested, but not mandatory! Please make your booking via ImPulsTanz.

On Friday 22 July at 18:00 our two special guests of Intensive I will give public lectures at AILab:
– Dieter Mersch (“Figuration/Defiguration. On the dialectics of”Choreo-Graphy”)
– P. A. Skantze (“I’m A Strange Kind of In-Between Thing”
).

On Friday 29 July at 18:00 our two special guests of Intensive II will give public lectures at AILab:
– Brandon LaBelle (“This Weakness That I Am”)
– Alva Noë (“Writing Ourselves”).

Both Friday Lectures will be moderated by Chris Standfest in conversation with the team and guests of the Choreo-graphic Figures research project.

On the 2.8. 2016 the team of Choroeo-graphic Figures will premiere the durational performance “Choreo-graphic Figures: Body Diagrams” at AILab - Angewandte Innovation Laboratory, Franz-Josefs-Kai 3, 1010 Vienna, Austria.

Comprising performative, discursive and installation based elements, Choreo-graphic Figures: Body Diagrams unfolds as a six-hour durational Radical Score of Attention, where members of the public are invited to come and go, to dwell and linger. Embodied diagrams, notational experiments, relational and translational encounters shape an ever-changing assemblage of choreo-graphic figures; attention heightened towards a barely perceptible realm of micro-movements and micro-gestures, the shifts of awareness and affordance activated in the side-by-side of collaborative exchange, opened up through the interference of space, sound, body and material.

The international team with Emma Cocker, Christine deSmedt, Nikolaus Gansterer, Mariella Greil, Lilia Mestre, Werner Moebius, Jörg Piringer and guests invigorates the various spaces and premises of AILab through an expanded, undisciplinary choreo-graphy.

Un monde nucléarisé

Dans la série « armes, armements », après avoir exploré le monde des armes conventionnelles, on essaye de plonger dans celui des armes de destruction massives (pour changer), avec une nouvelle expérimentation cartographique.

►http://visionscarto.net/un-monde-nuclearise

Nous avons souvent cartographié l’état du monde nucléaire « civil » d’une part, et « militaire » d’autre part, mais nous avons jamais essayé de réunir les deux dans un document de synthèse. Nous nous y essayons aujourd’hui, bien conscients que c’est un risque (nous avons déjà discuté au cours de ces dernières années avec quelques grands spécialistes dont Mycle Schneider, et certains doutent de la pertinence d’avoir les deux sur la même carte).

Comme d’habitude, on met au pot et on ajustera/améliorera en fonction de nos nouvelles idées et de vos éventuelles suggestions.

The process precedes the result: just as the process of thinking precedes the thought, the process of drawing precedes the drawing. In the artistic practice of Nikolaus Gansterer, the two processes, thinking and drawing, are seen as analogs, developed as synonyms and their identities analyzed. As processes they only have an ambivalent relationship to the products to which they give rise, only to then leave them behind. What seems to be preserved in the manifest thoughts and drawings are only leftovers of a process that has since moved on, turning—while thinking and drawing—to other questions and spaces. As traces they only capture what is no longer there, figures of presence and absence at the same time. In this sense, they are witnesses, testifying to the relationship that thinking and drawing have with the untenable and unstoppable. Inscribed onto the untenable is the contradiction, the argument that turns against the argumentative, reproaching itself, correcting itself, and changing itself, in order to replace the ultimate and the correct with that which is possible. When Gansterer, alongside drawing and thinking, also integrates objects into his processes, objets trouvés and things from a whole range of provenances, then it is only to test them, to plumb them in their forms and functions: in the process not only does the terminology with which one would like to describe them begin to totter but also language itself, which starts to oscillate between the nominal, the metaphorical, and the allegorical. What is sketched out—half-described and half-designated—is a horizon of design options that relentlessly distances itself from the throw in order to cling only to variability, to resistance toward the resistant aspect of the reification at which drawing gnaws, denuding the thing and its possibility. (Andreas Spiegl)

Un projet qui fait furieusement penser à “Drawing an hypothesis” de Nikolaus Gansterer (Autriche)

https://m1.behance.net/rendition/modules/2729394/disp/1649801271796589.jpg

A specific interest in migration patterns developed alongside a general suspicion of statistical knowledge and the way subjective perceptions of our world can end up imposing one “reality” on impossibly diverse alternative truths.

This natural tendency to accept basic assumptions without demur may be necessary to function in our day to day lives, but gone unchecked long enough, it can lead to a dangerously distorted sense of our society and environment.

In the context of migration politics, dominant narratives converge with the will of nonconformists to make up the subject matter of this body of work. The movements of human and animal populations following millennia-old survival instincts meet modern obstacles and threats: imagined national borders, social and political turmoil, and sweeping environmental changes. As authoritative vehicles of ‘factual information,’ the map connotes a vastness and sterile translation of our chaos into broad categories, and provides the ideal surface upon which geographies and living populations can interact. Expressed through the language of cartography, these relationships depict tension between the disputed boundaries and the silent resistance of natural survival instincts guiding the human and animal actors.

On the dim translucency of multiple layers of frosted Mylar, precise pen lines meet the eye at varying degrees, suggesting both hierarchy and regression in time with the organic forms all but obscured under the bolder man-made lines. Although each drawing derives directly from the original maps of pipelines or controversial nation-states that inspired them, topographies and borders are selected with composition and narrative in mind. In addition, I consciously maintained a commitment to abstraction to allow the viewer to delight upon their own associations of these recurring archetypes found in nature and geography. The mark-making process itself was a meditative exercise

The Jewish Museum Vienna has been given a special gift, Memory Map by the artist Nikolaus Gansterer (born 1974), who lives in Vienna and Berlin. The 2 x 3 m, three-dimensional “city map” was commissioned by The Vienna Project and its director Karen Frostig. It is also a model for the Memory Map app by The Vienna Project and can be downloaded onto smartphones. Download here

Gansterer created the original with sentences cut out of scanned letters by survivors from Vienna, most of which were in US archives. This work, donated by The Memory Project and the artist Nikolaus Gansterer, is part of the new permanent exhibition at the Jewish Museum Vienna “Our City! Jewish Vienna Then to Now”. It links up with the city map at the start of the exhibition on the second floor showing the three Jewish communities in Vienna before 1945. Memory Map recalls in particular the third Jewish community destroyed between 1938 and 1945, which was also the third largest Jewish community in Europe in its time.

THE MEMORY MAP

A Topology of Remembrance

The Memory Map is creating a physical and interactive digital map to engage people in the legacy of the Holocaust on the streets of Vienna. To create the map, Viennese artist Nikolaus Gansterer has developed an intricate, sculptural representation Vienna’s urban layout based on letters of citizens of Vienna who tried to escape the town.

Nikolaus Gansterer first scanned the Archival letters coming primarily from survivor families in the US and then cut the text into strips, assembling the lines of communication into a three dimensional city map of Vienna. The fragile intimacy of the letters developed as a large-scale map delivers new insights about the massive scale of destruction to a city, a nation, and to a people. The letters, reading literally as pathways of remembrance, provide a direct testimony to the past, challenging viewers to imagine the lives of the writers who inhabited this city, abruptly expelled and deported from their homes. Through high-quality photography, Gansterer’s art piece is transformed into a dynamic and original digital map that is housed on the website of the Vienna Memorial Project. The map was developed to scale with key coordinates matching a Google map. While the ostensible purpose of the map was for the project’s smartphone app, the actual map is now an object of consideration.

C’est bien sur l’expo à ne pas rater ! Moi, je prendrai l’avion rien que pour voir ça. Cette expo est une sorte d’expo-miroir de celle de Vienne en Janvier 2013 “a tribute to otto neurath”

–-> ▻http://www.zeitlose-zeichen.at/timeless-signs.html

This multi-media exhibition, curated by Maria Christine Holter and Christopher Burke, features over 30 contributions from renowned contemporary Austria based artists, whose work is either directly or indirectly inspired by Neurath.

TIME(LESS) SIGNS
Otto Neurath and Reflections in Austrian Contemporary Art
Tuesday 30 September 2014, 6.30pm | Austrian Cultural Forum London

The exhibition continues until Friday 9 January 2015

What is the state of art in today’s visual language? Signs, icons and ideograms determine our daily communication; pictographic guidance systems dominate public space. Much of what we understand as visual language originates in Otto Neurath’s Vienna Method of Pictorial Statistics, later known as ISOTYPE (International System of Typographic Picture Education).

The exhibition presents various artistic strategies for using pictograms and pictorial statistics to visualise political, social, global or purely individual agendas. Original works by social economist and Vienna Circle philosopher Neurath (1882 Vienna – 1945 Oxford) will feature alongside contemporary pieces.

Choreo-Graphic Figures.

▻http://www.choreo-graphic-figures.net

Choreo-graphic Figures: Deviations from the Line is an interdisciplinary research collaboration involving artist Nikolaus Gansterer (AT), choreographer Mariella Greil (AT) and art-writer Emma Cocker (UK) for investigating those forms of ‘thinking-feeling-knowing’ produced within collaborative exchange, between the lines of drawing, choreography and writing. The project unfolds through a series of intensive ‘method labs’ where the key researchers (and invited guests) come together geographically in one place to practice thinking-moving relationally and to develop singular and sharable forms of practice-as-research. The first ‘method lab’ takes place in Vienna, July – August 2014. Choreo-graphic Figures: Deviations from the Line (2014 – 2017) is funded by FWF/PEEK.

The interdisciplinary research project “CHOREO–GRAPHIC FIGURES. Deviations from the Line”, led by artist Nikolaus Gansterer (Austria/Vienna) in collaboration with choreographer-dancer Mariella Greil (Austria/Vienna) and artist-writer Emma Cocker (UK/Nottingham), in dialogue with a team of international critical interlocutors was approved funded by the FWF PEEK research grant of Austria.

With ‘arts-based research’ at its heart, this research project stages an inter-subjective encounter between drawing (Gansterer), choreography (Greil) and writing (Cocker) in order to

a) investigate those forms of ‘thinking-feeling-knowing’ produced through collaborative, interdisciplinary exchange, ‘between the lines’ of drawing, dance and writing,

b) explore the performativity of notation (figures of thought, speech and movement) for articulating and making tangible this enquiry,

The Vegetable Orchestra

Avec Nikolaus Gansterer. Ne ratez pas cet extrait. Le seul orchestre de légume au monde

At Home Sessions

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/is6vx0mqe4zvzji/vegetable.png

It’s the 15th anniversary of the Vienna-based Vegetable Orchestra and still most people are suprised when they hear about whom we are about to film: “How do you mean Vegetable Orchestra? Do they really make music with vegetables?” Indeed the preparations for a show starts with buying fresh vegetables at the local market.

▻http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Ddwnz_34dqo

The Vegetable Orchestra’s studio is just a stone’s throw from Naschmarkt, the place where they gather huge amounts and all kinds of vegetables. In a workshop session the collective, that is united by a love to experiment, transforms the colourful diversity in well-sounding instruments. Some are ready-made like the pumpkin-drum or the leek-violin, some are rather complex like the carrot-flute or the celery-guitar. No doubt, it’s already a visual feast, but once on stage it also turns into a sonic one! Deep bass beats, varied percussive elements and simple melodies lines define the vegetable sound that gets audiences across the world excited.

Nikolaus Gansterer | Drawing a Hypothesis : The Bottom Line « The Drawing Center »

▻http://thebottomline.drawingcenter.org/2013/05/02/nikolaus-gansterer

Un projet carto-artistique ouf mais super auquel j’ai (modestement) participé

In advance of the third program in The Drawing Center’s Drafts series, Curatorial Assistant Nova Benway speaks with Vienna-based artist Nikolaus Gansterer about the generative potential of diagrams.

http://thebottomline.drawingcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Gansterer_Drawing-a-Hypothe.jpg

For years I have had a strong fascination with diagrams (in German “Schaubilder”) and I was questioning how these relational visual artifacts—graphic forms visualizing complex associations—could be comprehended from an artistic point of view. In an intensive exchange with artists and scientists, I developed new forms of narratives and hypotheses by tracing the speculative potential of diagrams. Based on a discursive process, I sent my drawings to various interpreters with a request for a written interpretation (which I call “micrology”), so that in return I could react to their texts with diagrammatic drawings and models. In 2011 a publication resulted from this five-year exchange of figures of thought and figures of speech, describing, from various angles, the reflexive and dynamic character of diagrams.
