An innovative exhibition project–to take place in Vienna for the second time from May 6 through June 5, 2010–explores novel ways of cooperation between curators and galleries. For curated by_vienna 2010 the 20 participating Viennese galleries have selected one artist each, who will curate a show on “art&film” in the gallery spaces.
There is a remarkably broad spectrum of artistic works that use or pointedly reference filmed images. With 20 international artists of high distinction, curated by_vienna 2010 / art&film attempts a comprehensive dissection of what is currently a particularly virulent web of relations in the cultural field–an exciting analysis that puts up for discussion currently prevailing institutional conditions as well as aesthetic explorations of space and time, and the quest for artistic and social scopes for action.
The artistic positions emphasize both documentary, performative and conceptual approaches. References to film will furthermore be presented as a pop or mass phenomenon, i.e. as a symptom or indicator of social change.
Structured diversity and dense contents will produce exciting and stimulating exhibitions. The resulting dialog between curating artists and presented artistic positions will certainly remain relevant for the topic of art&film beyond the duration of this project.
curated by_vienna 2010 is presented by departure www.departure.at, the City of Vienna’s agency for the creative industries including visual arts and the art market, and a company of the Vienna Business Agency. curated by_vienna 2010 is organized and funded by departure in cooperation with the 20 participating galleries.
