Salzburger Kunstverein - Kunstlerhaus, Salzburg

Sweet Anticipation. Annual Exhibition 2010/11
Curated by Övül Durmusoglu

This year’s annual exhibition of the members of the Salzburger Kunstverein will be curated by the turkish curator Övül Durmusoglu.

We all love the anticipation of looking forward to something special. And, in the same way, we love a story that makes us hang on every word until we find out what happens. What if we think of an exhibition as a gesture of inventing a story or stories composed of different works, images, objects and references? And what if we think of an exhibition space as the narrative basis to create a multilayered experience generating anticipation, imagination, and mystery?

“Sweet Anticipation” sets out to explore how to play with the idea of narrative in the form of exhibition making, may it be a thriller, fantasy, or love story. Formed around layers of incomplete narratives and fragments of anticipation, the exhibition wonders about the collective and personal imaginaries at work when we devise our own follow ups, actively taking part in shaping the flow of narratives. As a supplement to the exhibition, a reading space of favorite narratives selected by the members who applied to take part in “Sweet Anticipation,” the staff, and the curator will take place to mark the sphere for the collective imagination of the Salzburger Kunstverein.

Birgit Pleschberger
rapunzel

The multi-part, large format piece, “rapunzel,” combines personal references with interpretive aspects of the traditional fairy tale. Like many of the artist’s other pieces, this work also displays ambivalent facets. While references to childhood, playfulness, ease, and being free are evident, “rapunzel” also allows the development of oppressive feelings of loneliness, melancholy, or being trapped.

This perception is reinforced through the visual and compositional realization as well as through elements from the Rapunzel fairy tale, upon which the drawing is based.

Markus Scherer
Substruktur

Markus Scherer filmed studio scenes with all the tenants in the Künstlerhaus. In the project “Substruktur,” these recordings of different ways of living, working, and self-portrayal in the studios (which also serve as offices, exhibition and discussion space) are projected into the public sphere onto a large format screen in front of the building’s façade. Floor plans of all the building’s floors, layered on top of each other, serve as the screen, creating the impression of a highly compressed and complex, live bundle of energy: the Künstlerhaus as a generator of creativity.

This utopian ideal is overlaid with the sometimes peculiar, sometimes very prosaic, everyday studio scenes that alternate with images from the surveillance camera in the exhibitions, thereby giving the public exhibition space a secretive atmosphere and the private studios a representative one.(Anselm Wagner)
