detail




"Ein Archiv, in dem Dinge, die nie getan wurden, für einige Wochen zu sehen sein werden. Eine Sammlung aus geschriebenen und skizzierten Fragmenten macht verkannte, unerfüllte und unfertige Ideen sichtbar."

"An archive where things that have never been done will be displayed for a couple of weeks. A collection of written an drafted fragments makes unrecognized, unfulfilled and unfinished ideas visible."
(from the flyer)

Ich stelle nicht realisierte Ideen und nicht abgeschlossene Projekte der letzten Jahre anhand eines Achsendiagramms dar. Kurze Beschreibungen und Skizzen sind als Schnittpunkte zweier Achsen positioniert: Die horizontale Achse zeigt den Zeitpunkt des Einfalls an, die vertikale die Wahrscheinlichkeit der Realisierung als Prozentzahl. Die einzelnen Punkte sind weiters in Kategorien unterteilt, je nach dem, auf welcher Stufe der Umsetzung sich die Projekte befinden (Idee, Materialsammlung, Rohversion etc.).

My unrealized and unfinished ideas from the past years are displayed as a graph. Brief descriptions and sketches are situated within two axes: The horizontal axis describes the time when the idea occured, the vertical axis shows the probability of the realisation. The single entries are also divided into categories based on the stage of their development (idea, collection of material, raw version etc.)

our burning need

Drawing, 1,5 x 7m.
Created for the re-opening of Kunstraum Goethestraße xtd, Linz, 2.12.2010.




Referring to the topic of the year, "There is a wild thing in all of us", I drew a panorama view of the lighting in the Kunstraum Goethestraße exhibition space as I saw it from the worm's-eye view sitting and gradually spinning in the center of the room.

RADIO KOLM

screenshots from a facebook interaction.

I originally intended to ask the owner of the electronic store "Radio Kolm" in Vienna if they would play the Estonian radio station "Raadio Kolm". For the time being I satisfied my need to communicate this coincidence of names on facebook.

image from "roadtruckers"

2 Monitors, adhesive foil. Selection of animated films showing empty spaces. Waiting rooms depict a song about the feeling of freedom on the road ("roadtruckers"). Monitors in computer rooms serve as projection screens for screensavers ("intercut", "screensaver/desktop visuals").
In reference to the video "roadtruckers" I covered one of the exhibition space´s glass panels with the grey-white-checked pattern known as the illustration of transparency in photoshop. I left the originally white squares transparent, intending to create a mixture between the "real" and the symbolic transparency.
