Nie Ohne Seife Waschen 2016

The motto “NIE-OHNE-SEIFEN-WASCHEN” stays the same, i. e. there will be four trips starting out from Graz in the four directions of the compass, with a new programme and destinations. In the summer break there will be for the first time a "home game", a tour in Graz.

N-O-S-W #4 Dates

N - Nie / North Trip

Sunday, 05.06.2016

Altaussee, Bad Aussee, Toplitzsee

ORE AND SALT

Clegg & Guttmann, Eva Grubinger, Juma Hauser, Florian Hüttner, Angelika Loderer, Susan Philipsz, Bojan Šarčević

This first tour takes us to two very different mountain lanscapes, which hold a prominent place in Styria, both culturally and politically: Erzberg and Salzkammergut. Eisenerz once benefitted from "the loaf of Bread" of Styria. Now, it is prime example of a "shrinking city" - Eisenerz*ART addresses the challenges caused by such a development. Eva Grubinger`s KIÖR-Projekt 2015-2016 in Salzkammerhut had coined the metaphor of the "political landscape".

In this installation, rain water is collected to mark the two boundaries of human existence. Too much or too little - the possibility of drowning or dying of thrist.

NOSW – UNCURATED – streetart in Graz

Citywalk with Joachim Hainzl and Alexandra Riewe

Mitterling / Bad Radkersburg, Ratsch on Weinstrasse, Spielfeld

BORDER - STILL AND AGAIN 

Joachim Baur, Josef Klammer, Renate Kordon, Albert Pall, Tobias Rehberger, Michael Schuster et al.

"Spielfeld" became place name in 2015, transformed as it was into a synonym for the dilemma of Austria and Europe during the refugee crisis. A few years ago, the large mobile by Renate Kordon that spanned the border was in danger of being taken down, as all border structures were to be removed. Now cynical, euphemistic political language talks of adding "side structures". Demarcation, its history, and possibilities to overcome or pass through borders are highly current topics, still and yet again.
