is a network of four independent institutions in
Graz whose
common interest lies in the conveyance of contemporary art within an
international context. Openings  CMRK archive: Spring 2017 Summer 2017 Autumn 2017 Winter 2017 Spring 2018 |
The
Summer Season at Grazer Kunstverein considers language, or the absence
of it, as a potential starting point for deep-level communication in a
fractured globe. Nadia Belerique’s summer residency in Graz sees the
responsive development of a new sculptural installation based on the
language of photography, albeit deconstructed and abstracted from the
more traditional image-making process. At the same time, Christian
Nyampeta creates a space for the study of the production and exchange
of knowledge. He asks: what happens if words and meaning were subjected
to prohibition? What synonyms could be created to replace them? A Graz
based working group will be established to convene, discuss and
translate throughout the duration of his exhibition. Cesare
Pietroiusti’s booklet Non-Functional Thoughts will be reprinted for the
first time in a bi-lingual German/English ‘double-decker’ edition (in
collaboration with Mark Pezinger Verlag). The ideas contained within
the publication first began to take shape over forty years ago, and
continue to influence Pietroiusti’s trajectory as an artist. The launch
of the 2018 edition will be accompanied by a workshop devised and led
by the artist. |
