In the exhibition, 28 artists coming from diverse backgrounds in both Art and Science approach the topic of memory through diverse materialities, practices and methods. Connected through the his­toric cashier hall of Otto Wagner’s Postsparkasse, the two exhibition spaces of the Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab (AIL) unfold like two ‘choruses’, in which the artworks become voices interacting with one another. [REVERBERATED] invites visitors to consider memory as a process of resonance, interference, and transformation. 🪞OPENING: JUNE 9TH, 18:00 | Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab, Österreichische Postsparkasse, Georg-Coch-Platz 2, 1010 Vienna 🪞RUNNING: JUNE 10TH - JULY 10TH, MON - FRI FROM 11:00 TO 18:00* 🪞SEE THE FULL PROGRAM, WORKSHOPS AND PERFORMANCES: https://ail.angewandte.at/program/reverberated *Extended opening hours during Angewandte Festival 1–4 July, from 11:00 to 21:00 and open on Saturday 4th of July.

(@artscience.ak ) — Charlotte Bastam (@challolotte ): After all, this is just another beginning
What do we do with beginnings once everything has become relational? In contemporary discourse, where philosophical and artistic thought is often shaped by relational ontologies, the performance project After all, this is just another beginning asks what has actually become of beginnings. (…) (Slides 1-3) Camille Belmin (@myrtillus_vaccinia ): A SCOBY is a girl
In times of ecological collapse, Dr. Camille and her SCOBYs will use the Ecoslay methodology to investigate how to reinvent environmental science communication through the seductive yet ambiguous figure of the Girl. (…) (Slides 4-6) Sabrina Rosina (@sabrina.rosina ): Roadkil(l)n
Artistic practice against death-blindness: Live your life while noticing the Roadkill, by untraining your visual filter for those critters: The run over by cars. The trampled upon. Pause your errands and witness them for a moment. Then pick them up and take care of them. Store them in a freezer in a body bag until the funeral is prepared. Create an urn for them. Cremate them in it. Make their ashes the glaze for the urn. (…) (Slides 7-9) Dunia Sahir (@aainud ): Found in Translation
Found in Translation gathers work from my recent research in structural biology, sculpture, history, philosophy of science, and media theory. I trace common inceptions and present entanglements of these fields by focusing on morphology in scientific model-making. (…) (Slides 10-12) Márton Zalka (@kozalkalmazott ): Anaesthetics
Degradation, decay and death are hard to navigate in everyday life, leading us to create smooth, optimised systems that buffer anxiety and deter us from mortality. The thesis Anaesthetics dissects the Global North’s fascination as an expression of modernity’s secular dread, while suggesting an unexpected calm in the worn and the raw. (…) (Slides 13-15)

⚡️Master’s Projects: Charlotte Bastam | After all, this is just another beginning⚡️ What do we do with beginnings once everything has become relational? In contemporary discourse, where philosophical and artistic thought is often shaped by relational ontologies, the performance project After all, this is just another beginning asks what has actually become of beginnings. Are beginnings everywhere because new contingencies constantly arise? Or have they disappeared because everything co-emerges from pre-existing relations? And yet we mark beginnings socially: we celebrate them, we time them, perhaps we even fear them. After all, this is just another beginning is a durational performance exploring this dilemma. In doing so, it uncovers the force, risks, possibilities, and responsibilities that arise when we don’t discard beginnings but keep thinking-through them relationally. 📍APL @angewandteperformancelab (Alte Postsparkasse/Georg-Coch-Platz 2, Angewandte Performance Lab (Hochparterre) ) 🕦 Examination: 11:15 ⚡️AAA days: performance will be durational and ongoing on 23.1, 11:00-14:00 and on 24.1, 15:00-18:00, audience can enter and leave any time they wish. Co-supervision: Isabel Kranz Special thanks to @rawmatters and @bearsinthe.park for residency space. And to Cornelia Bastam for costume.

⚡️Master’s Projects: Martina Moro | Gutterspace Adeline⚡️ Gutterspace is a room; Adeline is an instrument. Playing for the in-between of architecture, culture, identity, and reason. Walls echo fiction, liminality, memory and bass. My salute to the PSK (Österreichische Postsparkasse) will be resonant. 📍Alte Postsparkasse/Georg-Coch-Platz 2, SR 31 (1st. Floor) 🕦 11:45

⚡️Master’s Projects: Camille Belmin | Metabolic Girl ⚡️ How to grasp – and feel – the global earth system in a viscous, process-filled pot? Just like a Girl, a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) has a body and a smooth skin. But it is not subject to desire, rather disgust. May a Girl help you find admiration in this wet and sour body? May they help you see the biosphere in this gloopy mixture and find the connection between that molecule of carbon dioxide you just breathed out and capitalismfueled climatic changes? In times of ecological collapse, Dr. Camille and her SCOBYs will use the Ecoslay methodology to investiguate how to reinvent environmental science communication through the seductive yet ambiguous figure of the Girl. 📍Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz 2, EG, Lichthof B 🕦Presentation on January 21st, 9:30 🗓️Performance on January 24th, 15:00. Co-supervisors: Lucie Strecker, Clemens Apprich

⚡️Master’s Projects: Marton Zalka | Anaesthetics.⚡️ Degradation, decay and death are thoughts that are hard to navigate in our everyday life, in the world of harsh objective sciences. Thus we create systems and surfaces that deter us from our own mortality salience, into constant growth as an anxiety buffer. The thesis Anasthetics dissects the global north’s predominant fascination with smooth and optimised aesthetics, an approach that is a result of the secular dread of modernity. In times of accelerated change and masked despair we might find an unexpected calm in the worn and the raw. The scene is a medical waiting room, a place where vulnerability and hope puts us into a state of suspense. While the never-thought-of lingers and pushes us into a numbing but safe uncertainty, a game in the corner invites us for a minute to regress and reflect on our personal and collective agency towards identity and matter. As neither is free of change. 📍Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz 2, EG, Lichthof B 🕦 10:00

⚡️Master’s Projects: Sabrina Rosina Bühn | Roadkil(l)n⚡️ Artistic practice against death-blindness: Live your life while noticing the Roadkill by untraining your visual filter for those critters: The run over by cars. The trampled upon. The stuck in a fence to die. Pause your errands and witness them for a moment. Then pick them up and take care of them. Store them in a freezer in a body bag until the funeral is prepared. Create an urn for them. Cremate them in it. Make their ashes the glaze for the urn. Each body now a sculpture to remain in the visible world. To softly remind us every time we dust the shelve with the weird scultpure urn on it, that we cared and will continue to do so to. Until no more Roadkill shall be. How to visit this work: Each Roadkil(l)n has a card. Choose one (or several) and follow its location info. All urns are located within the Angewandte. Sometimes you will have to knock on a door. Don’t be shy, don’t look away. 📍Oskar-Kokoschka-Platz 2, EG, Lichthof B & weitere Orte 🕦 9:30

⚡️Master’s Projects: Dunia Sahir | Found in Translation⚡️ 📍Vordere Zollamtsstraße 7, (4. OG) B11-B12 🕦 9:00 Found in Translation gathers work from my recent research in structural biology, sculpture, history, philosophy of science, and media theory. I trace common inceptions and present entanglements of these fields by focusing on morphology in scientific model-making. Models make the invisible tangible through several layers of abstraction and scaling. They act in a context of reference points which generates both generalisation and accessibility. While models are commonly studied through their representational value, I am far more interested in their operationality and worldbuilding potential. Three elements compose this cosmology: wax sculptures, Xray print and a video work within a camera obscura setting. The installation brings digital elements into physical form, while the videowork functions as context, background and alternate world. We follow a fictional candid relationship between Anna Morandi, 18th century anatomist, and her wax sculpture, Chantal, both writing intimate letters in search for a common language to breach their material discontinuities.

Master’s projects will be presented and exhibited next week in the frame of the exhibition “All this linearity is making my head hurt”. 🔭 🗓️January 21st: examinations held publicly starting at 9:00. 🗓️January 23-24: exhibition during @dieangewandte AAA.
