Fallen Fruit »

10:00-21:00

Pfarrplatz

Fallen Fruit is an artists’ collaboration that investigates urban space, ideas of neighbourhood and new forms of located citizenship and community. All of these interrogations are done through the lens of fruit, which interests us for its simplicity, cultural and social value, and its persistence over centuries of representational art. Fruit is democratic, trans-cultural and valued across all social classes.

Th strategies (tactic/haptical strategies) »

Lentos

What is and how does interaction really look like? The concept of spatial orientation is based on the spatial planes and axes and on the directions that we see as left, right, etc. The perception of a blind person meanwhile brings up the synthesis of distal and proximal perception. The link becomes especially significant when the blind person navigates with something as distant as a satellite – or something navigates him (?).

The growing grass is automatically watered by an electric pump when the humidity level gets low.

Inside / Out »

10:00-19:00

Lentos

'Drawing on his first-hand knowledge of technology, Klif savours going back, to the history of the medium, manipulating in unexpected ways the screen itself as the main instrument. The reality of physical space and the virtual one exist in parallel; in a space shattered with screens we exist in both at the same time. The result is not schizophrenia, but pleasure. The dimension of uniqueness, in which the main role is played by the principle of coincidence, and the sensation of freedom that it creates with its electronic ambiences, offer the public the royal space that they deserve.'
(Radmila Iva Jankovic from the text of the exhibition catalogue, 2005)
