"Videorama: Subversion, Absurdity, and Form in Austrian Video Art" Exhibition
Austrian Cultural Forum NYC
This event has ended.
The Ursula Blickle Videoarchiv of the Kunsthalle Wien consists of several thousand videos focusing on video art from Austria. Three jurors: Massimiliano Gioni, Sabine Himmelsbach, and Ian White selected about 50 of the best works for the exhibition that is currently on view in Vienna. Many of these works have a socially critical background and challenge political and cultural conditions of our time. With ironic commentary and absurd methods recurrent themes, viewers are invited to break with paradigms and embrace fresh new modes of seeing. Many moments of surprise also bear witness to the inherently subversive character of Austrian art production. These form the basis of the videos chosen for the screenings at the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York.
