two dances on cystitis and flies
research sharing

Oneka von Schrader / Julia Müllner

Tuesday, 02.04.2024 at 18 hrs
Free entrance

Hello, we, Oneka and Julia have been working on our individual researches and would like to share our choreographic sketches / scribbles with you. As part of both of our research stipends we worked at eindorf and are happy to give a first little insight.

Julia:
This dance has an audience of anthropomorphic flies only. If you would like to be a fly, please come!
From the fly’s point of view, people move four times as slowly as they do. The compound eyes allow the fly to see all around. Flies tend to fly in a straight line, then make a rapid change in direction before continuing on a different straight path. The directional changes are called saccades. more facts coming.

Oneka:
This is the start of an artistic research on bladder infections.

A warm welcome!

WE ARE (AND YOU ARE WELCOME!)
7″ vinyl release

music by Frans Poelstra, Oleg Soulimenko and their guests

Friday, 16.02.2024 um 19:00 hrs

Free entrance

We, Frans Poelstra and Oleg Soulimenko, warmly invite you to join us for a cosy evening with (lo-fi) songs and other music. We have a good reason for this event, namely the official presentation of our first 7″ vinyl (single) release!

We have been making music for the last few years, creating several compositions and songs and also performing them. In February last year in Leipzig we premiered the music performance The Feeling of Home and, with the great help of Oliver Stotz, two of our songs from this performance are now on a 7″ vinyl. The songs are about us, our spirit and about our dreams of our homes.

We will of course play the two songs, but we also invited some friends to come and play their music and compositions. So, enough reason to show up and meet up again with friends and colleagues. There will be drinks and simple finger food, so nothing can go wrong! And well, who knows, maybe someone will spontaneously decide to sing a song, we don’t rule it out!

Our music guests:
Veza Fernández
Dominik Grünbühel and Luke Baio
Jasmin Hoffer
Akemi Takemi
Jack Hauser and David Ender and Peter Panayi
Frans Poelstra, Oleg Soulimenko and Oliver Stotz
Claudia Bosse
Mathias Lenz
Matthis Meinharter

We are looking forward to share our music with you!

Frans and Oleg

singing our lovings overall
an open rehearsal with Johanna Nielson

Dienstag, 30.1.2024 um 18:00

Free entrance

Johanna has been practicing a lot of metta-meditation recently. The Pali word metta is a multi-significant term meaning loving-kindness, friendliness, goodwill, benevolence, fellowship, amity, concord, inoffensiveness and non-violence. It’s a bit like doing kitschy wishing from the heart.

This evening will be a mainly improvised performance with voices and bodies moving.

Johanna is playfully struggling with words such as opposite. She doesn’t want to reproduce and contribute to the trend that there are only oppositions everywhere. ohppohsition.
pohlarity. dichohtomy. And the supposed either/ohr. Either left or right, either male or female, either Israel or Palestine, either either either, fucking either or.

Vanessa Machado de Oliveira puts it very beautifully: „Forget being either/or, be both and more, and moving.“

Let´s practice.

Two guys in Lloret de mar – hand in my pants while cooking at my parents place
by Masha Shalagina and Leon Locher

Performance 15. 12. 2023 at 19:30 hrs

Free entrance

“Through the interplay between text and movement, we reengage with body memory of sexual harassment. By reiterating the process of remembering and documenting using a series of different textual and physical strategies, we ask for a space in between – a space where we can re-invent our bodies by re-interpreting movement patterns, questioning the potential of erotics as a tool to re-empower a harassed body.“

Das Rad Neu erfinden
artists: Vito Baumüller, Aldrin Haus, Daniel Matzanik, Samuel Casata & Georgij Melnikov

opening 16.11.2023 um 18:00
Performance um 19:00 Uhr

Finissage am 09.12.2023
mit dem Screening des Kurzfilms „Fahrrade“ um 18:30,
einer hitzigen Diskussion 19:00, heißem Punsch und eiskalter Kunst bis 22:00.

Ausstellung: vom 16.11. bis zum 09.12.2023. Besuch nach Vereinbarung.

Free entrance

Die Ausstellung zielt darauf ab, die Vielseitigkeit und Nachhaltigkeit von Fahrrädern durch ihre Verwendung als Medium künstlerischer Ausdrucksformen zu präsentieren, sowie diesen Gedanken in Dadaistischer Manier ad absurdum zur führen.
Der Titel „Das Rad neu erfinden“ ist oft in einem praktischen Kontext verwendet, um die Ineffizienz von etwas zu beschreiben, das bereits erledigt wurde, hat jedoch auch einige philosophische Bezüge. Zum Beispiel die Idee der „ewigen Wiederkehr“, dass alle Ereignisse im Universum, einschließlich der Handlungen von Individuen, in einem sich ewig wiederholenden endlosen Zyklus befinden.
In Das Rad Neu erfinden Wotan Clan, Georgij Melnikov und Co. werden in unterschiedlichen Medien Werke zu dem Ausstellungsteil präsentieren.

Citizen of myself & El espanto de Tonalli
Presented by 6METROScuadrados
artists: Mario Wandu and Cuaco Navarro

opening 09. 11. 2023 um 18:00
Performance by Mario Wandu um 19:00 Uhr

Ausstellung: vom 09.11. bis zum 14.11.2023 von 11:00 bis 19:00 Uhr

Free entrance

Artists Mario Wandu and Cuaco Navarro have been individually researching and working on the projects Citizen of myself and El espanto de Tonalli. After a residency in eindorf, the artists will create a structure of coexistence between the two artistic processes and manifest it in an exhibition.
Citizen of myself is an experiment by Cuaco Navarro about the experiential processes that his neurodivergent and racialised body faces daily to the stimuli and impressions of the city, seen as a living entity not only from the aspect of the urban but also from the social (urbitas and civitas).On the other hand, in El espanto de Tonalli, Mario Wandu uses Tonalli’s concept of indigenous Nahua to reflect on the structural and systemic uncertainty and violence suffered by victims of C-19 in Mexico and the rest of the world.

Mario and Cuaco have worked together for many years under the name of the collective Save the Artist, both as artists and curators. Citizen of myself & El espanto de Tonalli is part of the project 6METROScuadrados, initiated and curated by artist Guadalupe Aldrete in collaboration with the Mexican Cultural Institute in Vienna.

Sun/ Moon/ kisses and Planet Earth
Performance by Masoumeh Jalalieh, Laura Pudelek, Rotraund Kern, Agnes Schneidewind, Robert Steijn and Daniel Zimmerman

27.10.2023 // 17.00

Free entrance

Showing of the next phase of the project by Masoumeh Jalalieh, Laura Pudelek, Rotraund Kern, Agnes Schneidewind, Robert Steijn and Daniel Zimmerman. This time the showing is called: Sun/ Moon/ kisses and Planet Earth. The artists research how they can create a new cosmology that gives a new perspective on how to relate to the turbulent times we live in. They explore through physical states, touch, music, dance and film to create counter-narratives and re-wilding myths to open still unknown potentials to activate our resilience and resistance to the dominant thinking, of thinking of power & violence while causing pollution. Time for dream time.

and now
An experience of a flow of sculptures of voices of sounds of dances.

By Johanna Nielson & Marina Poleukhina
Guest: Agnes Schneidewind

22.8.2023 // 20.00

Marina and Johanna met in Vienna. They fell in love with what each of them does and decided to play together. Within a series of improvised performances they are searching for weightless but tangible sculptures, full of sensibility. Unknown, vulnerable and transparent, yet strong and sometimes irritating are the stories they compose live and in the moment.
Allowing spaces to become a shared playground with the audience for the awkward, the failure and for the magic of sensing the here and now.

Salon(g)ing with books and friends
Two afternoons with readings, activations and more

By and with Alix Eynaudi, Anne Juren, Elisabeth Schäfer, Jack Hauser, Jeroen Peeters, Julien Bruneau, Nikolaus Gansterer and Sabina Holzer

18 July 2023, 16.00-20.00
19 July 2023, 16.00-20.00

Free entrance. You can come and go as you like.

Imagine books loosening up their spines and words drifting off the page into a zone where time multiplies, where bodies grow footnotes and paper skin, savour the taste of language or stick an unruly tongue into the mud digging up fossils and ore and unlikely stories. Attention for the corporeal and material conditions of language is what connects this motley group of artists and writers in their recent publications – and the related collaborations and performance practices. Seeing them together on shelf sparked the desire to bring these books into resonance, activate them in search of unexpected encounters. During two afternoons Alix Eynaudi, Anne Juren, Elisabeth Schäfer, Jack Hauser, Jeroen Peeters, Julien Bruneau, Nikolaus Gansterer and Sabina Holzer will offer a glimpse into their books by way of readings, activations and conversation in a salon setting – all of it punctuated with coffee and cake. You’re welcome to spend time with us and imagine the library otherwise. There’s a different program on both afternoons.

Un Pueblo
Exhibition and Performance by Guadalupe Aldrete

31. May 2023
Exhibition opens at: 18:00
Performance starts at: 19:00 (20min)

Duration: Opening on 31.05.2023. Accessible until 14.06.2023
Open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 19:00

Freie Eintritt

In „Un Pueblo“, the Mexican multidisciplinary artist Guadalupe Aldrete draws inspiration from her temporary home at eindorf.
Using the Spanish translation of the name of the venue, Guadalupe takes the opportunity to reflect on her place in this world: the village she seemed to have grown up in (the village of the stories told by her parents), the village she actually grew up in (the social housing neighbourhood that functioned as her own village) and the mental village she seems to move through in her life in Vienna.
This project, which oscillates between the political and the personal, includes installations and video works as well as a performance on the opening day.

Un Pueblo is part of the official programme of the “Bezirksfestwochen 2023”
Friendly supported by the Stadt Wien through the MA7 and the 15th Bezirk

Tofu Equation

One day Exhibition and Performance
Performers: Sunggu Hong, Jinkyoung Park, Jieun Choi

03. May 2023
Exhibition opens at: 6pm
Performance starts at: 7pm (25min)
Freie Eintritt

Come and eat Tofu 😊
Do you have a question or problem you cannot find the answer to or a logical cause that makes you clear? Tofu could be the answer for these questions.

The interactive Performance “Tofu Equation” shows how we or objects are related to each other. This relation means ‘our’ behaviors, movements or its resulting effects are interdependent. “The Tofu Equation” is another name of “indeterminate equation” which could have more than one answer because of its variable and interdependency of Unknown.

It could be said that our Society or Life got better and more free than in the old times. But can we say therefore we became proportionally happier and freer? “Tofu Equation” wants to ask ourselves how happy we are in a society, which constantly likes to give us guilty consciences.
*There is a tradition in South-Korea that a prisoner should eat a Tofu after finishing their prison life. Eating Tofu symbolizes a sort of ritual that the prisoner gets a chance to start their life afresh and it also means to promise that they wouldn’t commit a crime anymore.

“The passion of CMYK”
Installation 2022
Keramik, Betonsteine, Materialspulen (Draht)

Kategorien wie zum Beispiel CMYK ziehen eine klare begriffliche Grenze, welche die Realität verankert und Identitäten festsetzt. Sie bieten Sicherheit durch eine begriffliche Zuordenbarkeit auf Kosten des Ambigen und des Lebendigen. Was passiert, wenn die Hand ins Spiel kommt – als Gegenspielerin zu der maschinellen Geradlinigkeit – wenn die Leidenschaft, das Spielen mit dem eingefassten Realen, den Formen, dem Material und den Farben den Raum für die Ambiguität öffnet und sich der Starre der Kategorie entzieht?
Miriam Laussegger und Sascha Alexandra Zaitseva kombinieren Industriell gefertigte Materialspulen mit Hand gefertigter Keramik. Der offene Platz um die Kunstzelle wird genutzt um mit den Formen zu spielen, sie neu zu definieren.

“STILL STANDING”
Workshop

15h – 18h Workshop
18h – 18:30 snacks, drinks, feedback

Participation: for free, with PRE-REGISTRATION at linda.sama@gmx.net / Subject: STILL STANDING

The minute you are still, you stop being productive. When you stop moving, you no longer progress. And, in stillness, you disrupt what it means to perform. Progress, performance and productivity are the pillars on which capitalism is built. Sometimes even in stillness we become obsessed with these capitalist imperatives. Questions like – Is this stillness good enough? Am I getting better? When will I get to the real stillness? Is this all a waste of time? Or am I getting something out of this? – begin to plague us. But stillness has a way of rendering such questions insignificant. The only way to appreciate stillness is to free it from capitalist expectations.

“A caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.”
Maya Angelou

We construct borders to extend our property, attachment, and freedom but what is the line for these borders? Don’t we limit others‘ freedom by extending our own borders?
In Maya Angelou’s poem, ‘the bird opens his throat to sing. The song of the bird is pleasing to the human ear, but at the same time, it is a sign of the bird’s imprisonment. In this image, choreographer Masoumeh Jalalieh found an intriguing starting point for a new performance, which at this point is a work in progress.
As an Iranian dancer and artist, borders are & were always highlighted to me. Whether the geographical ones that shaped the past and present map of my homeland and its relation to other countries, or the cultural borders that came to existence as a result of each geographical and political change within the history of my home country.

Claudia Larchers künstlerisches Interesse gilt einerseits Räumen, die mit Vertrautheit und Erinnerung verbunden sind und andererseits Körperbildern, die keiner Abbildrealität zuzuordnen sind. Dabei entstehen Videoanimationen, Fotomontagen,
Objekte und Collagen in denen einerseits topographische oder physiologische Gegebenheiten, andererseits Erinnerungs- und Vorstellungsbilder verarbeitet und verwoben werden.
Als Grundlage ihrer Videos dient meist eine Kombination aus Bewegtbildern und Fotografien, die zu oft unmöglichen Raumkonstellationen oder Physiognomien animiert werden.
Aktuell experimentiert Claudia Larcher mit Algorithmen und Künstlicher Intelligenz als Werkzeuge für ihre Animationen. (Gerald Weber)

Anna Spanlang

CEREAL / Soy Claudia, soy Esther y soy Teresa. Soy Ingrid, soy Fabiola y soy Valeria.
Film 2022, 35 min

The title of Anna Spanlang’s film takes up the activist practice of identifying with the victims, as is practiced in the protests against femicide, to say the names of the murdered women. The film includes images from a FLINTA* action protesting structural violence against women in Austria; images of sex workers posing at a slut walk in Los Angeles, of befriended artists and skateboarders, and of a positive pregnancy test, which leads to the question of whether to have an abortion or not.
In her first longer work, Spanlang is a master of the rapid montage and a perfectionist of this craft. Personal cell-phone recordings from a eleven-year period dominate in this essayistic work, but the footage used also includes videogames, news, tv series, comics, and feature films through to picture-in-picture sequences. In nearly thirty-five minutes, she breathlessly juxtaposes countless images and stories. For Spanlang: more is more. After all,

Guadalupe Aldrete


“Recuerdos”

Performance 20 min

Recuerdos, that is, memories is a modern ritual of externalisation and with it the extirpation of moments from an early age, moments that seem regrettable, moments that although they were not, somehow I wanted to believe that I was in control of the situation.

It was when I tried to remember my own birth that I discovered the enormous amount of information accumulated in my skin. Memories of before and after birth, memories of my childhood, memories of love but also of fear and pain. It is also the skin that functions as the canvas of our heritage, of our origin, of the colour of our ancestry and of what seems to be our destiny.

The embodiment of heritage and ancestry. That is the meaning of my work.
The colour pink refers to the skin, but to the skin inside our body, where we all look the same, where our nerves run. The processed black takes its form from coal and is a call and materialisation of all my ancestry and the burdens they inherited.

“O.T.”
Videoinstallation

Basierend auf der Bühnenperformance WHITE FOR.

Sinn was. Bewegter Kopf pfeift laut. Kaputtes Licht macht uns glücklich. Weil Sehnsucht. Ein Klang wächst und dann stellen wir uns eng zur Mauer (für den Winter). Richtig.
An des Schrittes vorbei. Dann wird es still und es pfeift nur noch im Kopf. Die Nabelschnur ruft leicht gereizt. Kräftiger Schlag auf die Wand wenn das Licht wieder platzt. Mit einem Moment ist es sichtbar. Mit Holzschritten begeben wir uns auf den Boden. Der Ton reißt ein Loch der Ungeduld um sich. Wohin? Die Wand lacht sich krumm wenn das Licht wieder ausgeht. Wie tiefsinnig, wie erhaben! Mit dem Boten wird wild diskutiert bis der richtige Ton angeschlagen wird. Mein Glück. Mein Traum.
Sinn was. Weg heraus, breit, aus Holz. Die Nabelschnur pfeift uns vielleicht zurück wenn der bestimmte Moment kommt. Betäubend für einen Moment. Das ist die Leere!
Und rechts ein Hindernis und links ein Missverständnis bis der Kreis immer kleiner wird. Sich bücken (vor Pfeifen) hilft nicht. Die Wand lacht sich krumm wenn das Licht einmal zittrig wird. Hinaufgeweht gleichen Schrittes auf dem Holzweg, gesägt und gesägt.
Der Ton schlägt in den Schritt. Merklich berührt vom angespannten Atem und einem verlorenen Blick. Die Stelle sucht sich in einem Punkt, der nicht zur Ruhe kommt. Und rechts ein Hindernis und links ein Missverständnis bis der Kreis immer kleiner wird.

WALDEN
Installation 2020

Der Begriff „Drehort“ gewinnt eine zutiefst wörtliche Bedeutung, wenn ein Film ausschließlich aus 13 ausgedehnten Rundumschwenks in der Horizontalachse konstruiert wird. Nachdem ein gefällter Baum in der Nähe von Admont krachend direkt vor der stoisch rotierenden Kamera landet, entfaltet sich eine konsequent verlangsamte Wahrnehmungsstudie entlang der globalisierten Transportrouten in paradox umgekehrter Richtung – das österreichische Schnittholz landet diesmal verquer im Dschungel Amazoniens. Allmählich erst scheint hinter der wimmelbildähnlichen Kontingenz von Autobahnen, Raststätten und Verladestellen die ausgeklügelte filmische Choreografie durch. Für den ersten Teil gilt daher: Finde den roten Lastwagen. (Stephan Settele, Viennale-Katalog 2018)
