LYSISTRATA – A SYNTOPY

Coming soon:

A syntopic experiment between an installative GOBOTAG action/ Michaela Rotsch and a serial research performance/ Malin Kraus.

August 23 to 25, 2024, sat., sun. 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Performance on August 23 and 25, 7:00 p.m.

Brunnenstrasse 107, 13355 Berlin Gesundbrunnen

MARKET AREA: 6 GLASSY STANDS

Premature estate by Michaela Rotsch

Market area at the Vienna Naschmarkt
June 17, 2023, 2:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.

With six glassy stands, I am bringing my work structures from the last two decades to the area of ​​the Vienna flea market in order to give them an arabesque organization. To do this, I am mixing workpieces as artifacts without provenance into the flea market. They are indications between the individual and the pattern, glassy passages and indicative collections.

The six-part installative action was recorded on media. It will be transformed into a SLIPCASE COLLECTION with 6 books:

Volume 1: Rotsch, Michaela: ARABESQUE SPREAD, Munich 2023

 

 

The installative action is supported by:

Arabesque structures: Baghdad Downtown

Constellation of texts and images, by Michaela Rotsch in exchange with Kadir Fadhel

WERKBUCH 1 RAW MATERIAL

WERKBUCH 1 RAW MATERIAL takes the urban space of Baghdad as a turbulent structure and creates raw material for further traces and forms: Along the public posting of the journal ZWISCHENRAUMZEICHNUNG 1911 No. 0, six routes are drawn through the city.

 

In cooperation with Center for Turbulence Re. Baghdad; icon Munich

ZWISCHENRAUMZEICHNUNG 1911 No. 0

“The journal ZWISCHENRAUMZEICHNUNG 1911 No. 0 is an exchange medium between Michaela Rotsch and Kadir Fadhel. It was published in 2018 in the urban space of Baghdad. The RAW MATERIAL motif was created with the question of how art can be used to understand situations in Baghdad in order to generate resources for the ability to act – without being monopolized by systems of rule.”

____________________________________________________________________________________________

The PUBLIC COLLECTION_CZ is based on a gap in a dia – collection discovered at a garbage dump in Munich. The huge inventory of the slide collection shows icons of European art history from antiquity to the present, but not a single image of the art of the socialist era. – a kind of a void in 20th century art history. But it was precisely at this time in the 20th century that the slide medium was in its heyday. The gap in the collection takes us on a journey to the Czech Republic, one of the original countries of socialist art. The main question of the research was: what position does socialist art have in public and private collections in the Czech Republic today?

In cooperation with private collectors and public institutions PUBLIC COLLECTION will be extended to the artistic heritage of the art of the socialist era:

Muzeum umění Olomouc

Univerzita Palackého Olomouc

Vlastivědné muzeum v Olomouci

Masarykova univerzita Brno

Východočeská galerie v Pardubicích

Terezie Petišková / Dům umění města Brna

Pavel Karous Collection

Galerie výtvarného umění v Chebu

Oblastní galerie v Liberci

Západočeská galerie v Plzni

Galerie výtvarného umění Ostrava

Muzeum východních Čech Hradec Králové

Vošp, Sošp a G. EVROPSKÁ 33, PRAHA 6

The “findings” of this research will be made accessible to the public in the cities of Olomouc and Brno. In exchange with passers-by the PUBLIC COLLECTION_CZ will be created and reflected upon in a public discussion with experts in architecture, visual culture and art history.
