110213: Kunsthalle Exnergasse: Origo – At Point Zero of the Point of View
Kunsthalle Exnergasse
Origo – at the Nought Position
17.01.2013 – 02.03.2013
I, Here and Now
By Manisha Jothady
Some 4000 silver-coloured balloons cover the floor in the art gallery Exnergasse. They softly flatter the ankles when one walks through the room. "My Breath" is the name of the ever-changing installation. Stefan Riebel's work impetuously encapsulates the observer in a concrete space-time experience. Whoever doesn't want to be involved has to leave. And would miss the most haunting contribution to the show "Origo (At Point Zero of the Point of View)".
Under this title, Birgit Rinagl and Franz Thalmair have united eight positions with several works. Karl Bühler's language theory from the 1930's underlies the exhibition, whereby linguistic utterances referring to the subject whose spatial and time position is examined (I-Here-Now-Origo). This is now put to the test in the visual field. An exhibition has hereby emerged that, as a matter of fact, wants everything (not to say too much): here, reflection is directed just as much towards the artist's subject as towards the observer's awareness.
The linguistic approach functions well where the works manifest in a sort of communicative offer to the observer. But one could also have difficulty within the context of the exhibition with the presentation of several works. Michael Kargl's institution-critical wall drawings, for example, or Ignacio Uriarte's work are composed of empty, folded A4 pages and appear peculiarly speechless.
