'Espiral' is the fascinating artistically realization of a complex research that brings together East-European transformation processes and economical interests. The project requests the possibilities of artistically intervention within the connections of power, money and history.
Espiral is Isa Rosenberger's (1969) artistically occupation with the role
of Austrian banks in South-East Europe.
The Grazer Kunstverein is pleased to invite to the premiere of this various
media connecting project on April 5th 2011 at 7 pm. Espiral is also the
first solo exhibition of this Viennese artist in Graz.
The approach towards Kurt Jooss’ expressionistic ballet Der grüne Tisch
(1932), a dance-like description of the connection between power, economy
and war in the surrounding of the Weimar Republic and the first world
depression, is the central point of view. Another level of this work bases
on research on the role of Austrian bank both after the transformation
processes in Eastern Europe and also during the time before the First World
War. Rosenberger demonstrates connections between the opening in the East as
well as the balances and profits of the parent companies in the West.
Espiral is the fascinating artistically realization of a complex research
that brings together East-European transformation processes and economical
interests. The project requests the possibilities of artistically
intervention within the connections of power, money and history. At the same
time, it presents, in relation to Joss' Green Table, likewise the
timelessness as well as the necessity of this occupation.
