@mjschein has written a beautiful text about our mutual obsession over sausages, which evolves into a reflection on memory, grief, intergenerational trauma, and the strange things we pass on through meat for my new publication: “Only those who know the Longing” Edition of 250 Booklet, 28 pages, 15 × 21 cm  Offset, stapled Design: @federico_trevisan Published by Institut français Stuttgart

Vinny, vidi, vici!

It is such a thrill to share that Sofia’s film Measures for a Funeral will have its US premiere (and a hometown screening for me) @movingimagenyc on Sunday March 16th 🗽 Link in bio for tickets ❣️ This project is a colossal achievement and I’m filled with naches to have watched it unfold from inception and to have played a small part in bringing it into the world. Here are some medium format photos @sofiagolightly captured on set, topped off with some memories of when this all began: Sofia’s 2018 arrival in London for a screening of her short film Veslemøy’s Song. (I came home one night to the walls of my flat covered in post-its for what would eventually become Measures for a Funeral, but sadly can’t find a photo ❣️)

Now on view at Crone Wien: FUGUE FOR THREE ARTISTS by Ryan Foerster, Stefan Reiterer and Meina Schellander, curated by Mélanie Scheiner. The exhibition explores the ways that three disparate artists – whose outputs span generations, geographical contexts, and a broad range of media – subvert the body’s relationship to physical, mental, and social space. The show takes as its starting point Meina Schellander’s major installation „Einheitenfuge 1: Teil/Rest 1-18 mit Gegenstellwerk 1-19“ (1982–89), exhibited here in its entirety for the first time in 35 years. In Schellander´s sculptures, the tension between a structure’s formal autonomy and the influence of the spatial contexts that surround it become analogous to the struggle between an individual’s interiority and the external forces that shape our lives. Stefan Reiterer on the other hand has created a suite of new sculpture-paintings for the exhibition, that respond directly to two public commissions Schellander realized in 1982 and 1997, whose real-world existence today, whether due to neglect or authorial disavowal, are in question. Where Reiterer’s practice troubles the legible distinctions between virtual, physical, and imaginary renderings of space, the New York-based artist Ryan Foerster’s output is decidedly familiar and concrete. Likening his approach to composting, the artist’s materials undergo a process of transformation, yielding a haphazard and sensitive output of assemblages that are at once records of a lived reality and discrete forms charged with an internal logic of their own. On view till January 18, 2024 Opening hours Tuesday - Friday, 11 am - 6 pm, Saturday 11 am - 3 pm Crone Wien, Getreidemarkt 14, 1010 Vienna Photos @simonveres_aeph @zoltog99 @nafets_reretier @mjschein @meinaschellander #contemporaryart #contemporary #artexhibition #artists #contemporaryartists #contemporarypainting #galleryexhibition #artinstallation #collage #assemblage #galeriecrone #painting #contemporary #artgallery #technoid #multidisciplinary #installation #installationart #sculpture #sculptureart #artandspace #constellation #fuge #fugue #assemblage #collage #space #corporeality #sculpturepainting
