Series: No Space is Innocent

“No Space is Innocent” investigates the conditions of spaces, their political, private, identity-creating, architectural and temporal definitions.

What possibilities exist to develop models from a culturally determined reality that go beyond real life practice and enable us to extend concepts of space and their allocations?

On the basis of artistic reflection on the historically pre-formulated and utopian notions of space and the cultural practices ingrained in them, “No Space is Innocent” sets out to re-articulate spaces that are founded on social and political forms of memory, history and activism. The artistic levels of reference that result from a change or emplacement of spatial structures are interlinked in the exhibition in order to form a thematic matrix that links up with the place of the exhibition, the festival, and its geopolitical location. The exhibition will be accompanied by a special issue of the Austrian “Malmoe” magazine documenting and providing theoretical backing for the individual works.
