040612: Salzburger Kunstverein, Künstlerhaus

Salzburger Kunstverein, Künstlerhaus 26. 04.2012 – 8.07. 2012 And now what? By Stephan Maier “In a radical sense, the work is a movement from the Self to the Other, which never returns to the Self”, Emmanuel Levinas said in “The Trace of the Other”. But what is the relationship of one oneself to the other like now – something that has developed into the dominant topic of social disputes, how does migration and integration determine our society that has become increasingly influenced by asylum debates. What is the current relationship among the different cultures? And: what does all this have to do with art? “How to live together?” is the motto of the exhibition in the Salzburger Kunstverein, which is based on Roland Barthes' words. Barthes described the circumstance “of wanting to live alone and, at the same time, without contradicting this statement, wanting to live together”, as a phantasm, as a “recurring desire” of mankind. The exhibition in the Kunstverein deals with politically tinted phenomena in the wake of a totally globalized world, of shifts in gender relations (Nilbar Güres) and conversions of religiously coined architectures (Johanna Diehl), addresses the strangeness in and around us (Wendelin van Oldenborg) and presents field studies “of the public” (Klub Zwei). Only Ján Mancuska goes beyond the tight corset of a solely regional-global view of the world: the artist, who passed away last year, visualizes the very own nucleus of society by uncovering its “blind spots” of self-perception. Man is only a whole in interaction and connection with the Other.
