This autumn Salzburger Kunstverein presents new exhibitions by Noel W Anderson and Niko Abramidis &NE along with an artist talk between Noel W Anderson and Hito Steyerl, as well as a talk by the artist-in-residence Miriam Stoney.
Noel W Anderson: Black Exhaustion
September 29–November 26
Grand Hall
Noel W Anderson’s woven works are based on photographs found in various archives, some better and some lesser known, that illustrate mechanisms worldwide by which Black male bodies appear as representatives of a type of Black performativity, in encounters with authorities or other power systems or with themselves. Through this he explores systems that are not just constructing that subject but surround it as well, along with all other interrelated subjects.
Noel W Anderson (b. 1981, Louisville, Kentucky) lives and works in New York.
Artist talk: Impoverished Image Swings in Meaning
Noel W Anderson in conversation with Hito Steyerl
November 17, 6pm
Niko Abramidis &NE: GENHR
September 29–November 26
Kabinett
The dialogue between the past, present, and future finds a form in Niko Abramidis’ solo exhibition GENHR at Salzburger Kunstverein. GENHR encapsulates Abramidis’ fascinations with a speculative archaeology of the future while delving into the mystique of human and machine synergies. Abramidis explains GENHR as a hybrid, embedding within it a contradiction between the generative capacity of human resources and technological overtures seeking to augment or replace them.
Niko Abramidis (b. 1987 in Europe) lives and works in Munich and Berlin.
Artist talk with Miriam Stoney: aus dem Außen hineingesagt (from the Outside spoken in)
October 11, 6pm
In translation, one does not depart from an original text in one particular language to arrive at another, but rather one lingers, dwells in, and reconstructs both simultaneously, such that the product of translation is not one new text but two. Miriam Stoney attempts to demonstrate this hypothesis with reference to her practice not only as a writer and translator but also in her work as a British-Indian artist engaging with different media in European contexts.
Miriam Stoney (b. 1994, Scunthorpe, UK) was educated in the United Kingdom before moving to Austria.
The autumn exhibitions are programmed by Séamus Kealy & curated by Mirela Baciak. Artist talks are programmed by Mirela Baciak.
