Regenerative Design: The Weltmuseum as Laboratory for the Future
Harald Gruendl & Claudia Banz (eds.)
Was können wir von historischen ethnologischen Sammlungsobjekten für die Gestaltung einer nachhaltigen Zukunft lernen? In einer Kooperation des Weltmuseums Wien mit der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien wird das ethnologische Museum neu gelesen: nicht allein als Aufbewahrungsort von stummen Artefakten, sondern als Labor für kommende, weltverträgliche Lebensstile.
It is a pleasure to work with Peter Kozek - please join us for a workshop with the title "A Kiss Under Water" at Tanzquartier Wien!
Thales of Milet fell into the water and understood that water is the source of life. We will fall in love and kiss the muse underwater, explore the diversity and abundance of the moist nature of living creatures, and dive deep into the molluscs’ qualities of our bodies of and in water.
Recognizing water as a human right, we engage in choreo-ethical assemblages as amniotic encounters bound to playful performative situations. We develop and create modular costume pieces to experiment with water as part of the body and the basis of life itself. Together, we will dive deep, float in hydrocommons (Neimanis, 2009), listen across for radical connection with (other) others, and celebrate hydrofeminist practice as embodied relations spanning across deep time and liquid space.

Dienstag, 1. April 2025, 19.00 Poetics of Listening
ENGLISH Book presentation
at Depot Breite Gasse 3, 1070 Wien
Please join us in celebrating the launch of Poetics of Listening: Inner Life, Social Transformation, Planetary Practices with Brandon LaBelle.
From self-determination to social participation, somatic healing to collective repair, political recognition to ecological engagement, listening is supportive for negotiating our most fundamental challenges. Poetics of Listening considers listening to be not only important to social struggles, but also a form of poetic imagination and communion. It moves listening toward a broader application and view, which includes the ability to listen across human and more-than-human worlds, to listen into or with one’s body, or to listen out for futures to come as well as addressing unfinished histories, and it challenges us to think more broadly about what it means to hear and be heard within today’s complex environments.
Together with Ricarda Denzer, kunst und kommunikative praxis (kkp/apl), universität für angewandte kunst wien, Mariella Greil, PhD, angewandte performance lab (apl), universität für angewandte kunst wien & Brandon LaBelle, artistic director, The Listening Biennial
In cooperation with Angewandte Performance Lab (APL).

»What do you mean by togetherness?«
The beginning of our rehearsal process for ATTEMPTS OF TOGETHERNESS is just around the corner and we‘d like to introduce you to more artists of Sweet & Tender Collaborations and their thoughts on different aspects of the upcoming work. Meet Jenny Beyer (Hamburg), Arvand Dashtaray (Iran/Amsterdam) and Mariella Greil (Wien).
The performance installation ATTEMPTS OF TOGETHERNESS is an invitation to the audience to experience and practise community: What does it take to enter into a relationship with one another, to listen and to feel like knowing about one another?

“Shaken Grounds. Shifting Skies”
Videogallery of MAXXI, Museo nationale delle Arti dell XXI secolo, Rome, Italy
Lecturers Mariella Greil and Lucie Strecker from the Shaken Ground collective will present “Shaken Grounds. Shifting Skies - Art as a Seismography of Precarious Presences” at MAXXI, Rome, from October 22 to 27, 2024. The project also features artists Verena Stenke and Andrea Pagnes of VestAndPage.
Even before the Anthropocene, geological forces prompted artists to reflect on existence’s fragility and the origins of their age. Natural disasters, like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in southern Italy, have historically influenced both scientific inquiry and artistic expression. In the myth of Rome’s founding, Aeneas sought guidance from the underworld through the trembling Phlegraean Fields, now a toxic dump. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE mirrored the tumult of the Iron Age, eliciting diverse artistic responses.
Today, seismic areas inspire artistic research in new ways. These locations, once tied to a polytemporal worldview, now face man-made pressures such as global warming, resource extraction, and waste disposal, leading to human-accelerated earthquakes. This complex phenomenon underscores the troubling connections between humanity and the environment in the ecological crisis.
The artist collective Shaken Grounds explores the intersections of natural seismic activity and human environmental damage in southern Italy. They emphasize how Earth’s tremors, once seen as natural forces, are increasingly influenced by human actions. Through artistic experiments, they examine the changing relationship between humanity and our damaged geological environment.
During the symposium “Shaken Grounds. Shifting Skies - Art as a Seismography of Precarious Presences,” from October 22-27, 2024, the collective and guests will present talks, performances, and screenings that use process-oriented video imagery. Audience discussions will explore the connections between film, performance art, and geology in artistic research.

I am delighted that Tanzquartier Wien (TQW) hosts the book presentation "Bare Bodies – Thresholding Life" (Angewandte, DeGruyter, Berlin 2024) on 22nd April at 2:30 p.m.
This anthology is dedicated to bodies in transition, on thresholds, and at the edges of life, discussed in terms of their artistic, political and existential dimensions. The book is an artistic-philosophical exploration of emergence, survival and decay at the intersection of performance and life practices.
With: Mariella Greil (dancer, artistic researcher, editor of the book), Mia Habib (dancer and choreographer), Werner Moebius (sound artist), K.T. Zakravsky (performance artist and philosopher) and Anna Leon (TQW theory)
Book contributions by Fiona Bannon, Ashon Crawley, Ingrid Dengg, Gurur Ertem, Alice Heyward, Rebecca Hilton, Simona Koch, Pavlos Kountouriotis, Laurel V. McLaughlin, Salka Ardal Rosengren, Barbis Ruder, Heba Zaphiriou-Zarifi
