Le Troisieme Lieu - Der Dritte Ort

Grazer Kunstverein, Graz

Exhibition with:
Zbyněk Baladrán, Stéphane Bérard, GirlsOnHorses (Elke Auer, Eva Egermann, Esther Straganz, Julia Wieger), Louise Hervé & Chloé Maillet, Lisa Oppenheim, Evariste Richer

Curator: Anne Faucheret
The project marks the closure of the 1. curatorial grant at Kunstverein 2008 - 2009

The invited artists work from an imaginary and invisible “Third Place”. They observe language and other codes which produce meaning, habits and hierarchies and thereby generate aesthetical and social forms. Hybridity, fragility and transience characterise the works. Their apparent facility, naivety or idiocy serves as a humorous masquerade for their radical denial of any programmatic precision.
With strategies of displacement and staging they sketch out cognitive or social structures, rather than creating artefacts. Whilst the project is interested in analysing how cultural norms are constituted through language and attitudes, its primary intention is to further investigate the potential of concepts such as variation and difference.

The list of accompanying events will be available on the website of the Grazer Kunstverein soon!
