Mixing and separating. Collaborative and individual works, 1968 - 2005.
September 7, 2007 - January 2008
The presentation includes photography, paintings, graphic art, experimental collaborative works, videos and publications created jointly by Arnulf Rainer and Dieter Roth between 1972 and 1979, most of them never shown in public before, as well as works from 1968 up until 2005.
The exhibition features twelve sets of works from this period of collaboration and links them to previous and subsequent work by Arnulf Rainer and Dieter Roth. The show extends to the present by including very recent photographic work by Arnulf Rainer presented in juxtaposition to the photo-booth shots from 1968. Departing from the visual invention of the photo-booth photographs and the overpainted photos created by Arnulf Rainer from 1968, the 160 pieces shown at the exhibition trace one of the most intense and creative collaborative artistic efforts of the last decades: between 1972 and 1979 the Swiss avant-garde artist Dieter Roth (then living in Basel, Stuttgart, Reykjavik and Hamburg) regularly stayed with Arnulf Rainer in his Vienna home in Mariahilferstrasse.
These visits gave rise to work phases when the two artists spent days and nights exploring all facets and many unexpected angles of the combination of photography, self-presentation, painting, drawing and video or film which Arnulf Rainer started to develop in 1968.
