Carola Dertnig- ... at least I did not rob a bank

Why no bank robbery?
By Susanne Rohringer
In her latest exhibition presented at the Gallery Andreas Huber, Carola Dertnig undertakes a very personal appropriation of actual historical performances.
Upon entering the gallery rooms in Vienna's fourth district, one is at first astonished to find art works by the Viennese artist. Dertnig sets out from found footage materials which are composed of the remains of film strips. They are shots of actionist Viennese happenings from the 60's. The come from the Austrian film director, Ernst Schmidt, Jr., who also partly painted them over. Some of them are fragmented and irregularly torn. Dertnig photographed these digitalized findings and further processed them as photos. The final step is a paper copy which she colours and mounts like a print on the canvas.
Dertnig arranges the film fragments like a dance on the canvas.
Her directness is stressed in single works by unhitching the canvas from the stretcher frame. Through the artistic stratagem of the pure canvas, Dertnig comes nearer to the performative art of the 60 's.
Of particular note is a small film print in the entrance to the gallery. The one or the other theme can be seen in it which loses itself immediately in the blurred colours. The print functions like an introduction to the exhibition.
Carla Dertnig's show is a successful, artistic appropriation for the Austrian culture relevant performative art of the 60's. And it is a very 'feminine' appropriation and reshaping of this theme.
On 21 April, at 19.00 hours in the Schikaneder Kino, there will be a screening, chosen and curated by Carola Dertnig, of films by Ernst Schmidt, Jr.
