Three Exhibitions
Salzburger Kunstverein - Kunstlerhaus, Salzburg
Roman Ondak presents 'Before Waiting Becomes Part of Your Life'. His works, which contain elements of performance, conceptual art, and audience participation, captivate through their ease and 'uncapturability,' despite or precisely because of their formal precision. 'All the Things You Are' by the Lithuanian artists Gintaras Didziapetris and Elena Narbutaite, is a story written in two-chapters, which is concerned with subjects of translation and repetition as well as notions of artistic collaboration. As part of the exhibition series at Cafe'Cult #46, Annelies Senfter presents new works.
Roman Ondák. Before Waiting Becomes Part of Your Life
Even before his culminating presentation at the Biennale in Venice
(2009), the Slovakian artist, Roman Ondák was
considered one of the most important representatives of contemporary art.
Roman Ondák is developing an exhibition for Salzburg that reflects on
the subject of the "queue." In 2003, Ondák
appeared in the Cologne Kunstverein for the first time with a staged
queue that formed in front of the building every
day. Images of this performance, "Good Feelings in Good Times," in art
magazines, brochures, and catalogues
are presented in display cases constructed from found objects and
combined with two videos in which a mother
teaches her children how to "stand in a queue."
Roman Ondák's works, which contain elements of performance, conceptual
art, and audience participation,
captivate through their ease and "uncapturability," despite or precisely
because of their formal precision. Social
rituals and everyday situations that hardly attract attention are the
subjects of Roman Ondák's work. He often
includes his audience or specially hired individuals in his concepts,
thus making them co-producers.
*Roman Ondák*, born in 1966 in Zilina, lives and works in Bratislava. In
addition to numerous international
exhibitions, such as his 2008 show in San Francisco or the 2006 show at
the Tate Modern in London, Ondák
represented Slovakia and the Czech Republic at the 53rd Biennale di
Venezia in 2009.

At the Exhibition Cabinet:
All the Things You Are. Gintaras Didziapietris and Elena Narbutaite.
Curator: Simon Rees, Contemporary Art Centre, Vilnius
A series of exhibitions and events will take place in October 2010 in
Salzburg and Vilnius in celebration of the
20 year partnership between the two cities and the 40th anniversary of
collaboration between the state of Salzburg
and the people of Lithuania
The presentation "All the Things You Are" at the Salzburger Kunstverein
by the Lithuanian artists
Gintaras Didziapetris and Elena Narbutaite. is a story written in
two-chapters, which is concerned with subjects of
translation and repetition as well as notions of artistic collaboration.
The artists have designed special display
architecture for the "Cabinet" project space at the Salzburger
Kunstverein that from September 23--October 24 will
contain work by Didziapetris and then from October 27--November 28 will
house Narbutaite.'s works for the space.
The exhibition starts with a building - as host. Many different thought
models are negotiated in the same
space over time. The viewer is usually asked to visit a different
exhibition while entering the same room.
"All the Things You Are" finds its meaning in thinking of two events at
once. Just like the standard
Jerome Kern tune, from which we borrow the title, is interpreted every
time by a new mind, the exhibition
will share ground, both, physical and conceptual in an attempt to play
individual works in an overlapping
score. /(Gintaras Didziapetris and Elena Narbutaite.)
