presents
VIER RICHTUNGEN
QUATTRO STAZIONI
The exhibition will take place in the house at Praterstrasse 42 during June
2002. Austrian artists open the "Büro für Weltausstellung" in the former
"Büro der Weltausstellung" 1873 (Office for the World's Fair 1873). About
the same time in imperial Vienna, the idea was born to move Italians into
the quarter. A house on Praterstraße, the "Dogenhof", a replica of the Dogen
Palace in Venice, is witness to this idea and appears to show an effort to
make the Italians moving into the quarter "feel at home". This rather
strange idea escalated to the opening, in 1895, of "Venice in Vienna", an
exact replica of Venice in the Prater....a forerunner of Disneyworld. This
provided the impulse for the VICE VERSA invitation to Italian artists to
consider this and use it as starting point for the development of on-site
work, researching and filtering the available history and information.
QUATTRO STAZIONI will present multimedial positions from Sara
Serighelli/Antonio Rovaldi (Performance), Lidia Fiabane (Research), Fabrizio
De Pasquale/Daniele Poletti (Photo/History), Casaluce-Geiger
(Video/Instaation).
VIER RICHTUNGEN, the exhibition in the "Buro für Weltausstellung"
concentrates on the meaning of "World" and investigates the possibilities of
it's exhibition through construction/de-construction (Roswitha Ennemoser),
outside-inside of space and "mirrored" image (Kurt Spurey),
trans-action/trans-fer/trans-port (Beverly Piersol) and with global myths
and their impenetrability (Gertrude Moser-Wagner).
