Rooms and their occupants, stories and their faces

The programme begins with three more or less sparse works, about both the material signs of wear and the immaterial residues which are left behind in their dwellings by absent, or perhaps absent minded, occupants. In this way something of the “managing of feelings” is expressed, cathartic rage (Harald Hund, Paul Horn), quiet awareness (Claudia Larcher), or a relaxed, perhaps even a little exhausted, coming to terms with things (Josef Dabernig). The centrepiece comprises of three works, which are interested in the stories etched in the faces of the protagonists. If the face is literally a projected surface for Karø Goldt, then “the self” is, for Friedl vom Gröller (Friedl Kubelka), defined by interdependence. For Sabine Marte on the other hand, the face is a sphere of communication, it is itself a medium. Finally we come to the, at first sight, very different “bodily” works of VALIE EXPORT and Billy Roisz, which show how form is always indivisibly bound up with content. A programme of three spheres; the external, the internal and the most intimate, or a probing of transience. “Hard to say what was there”, as Sabine Marte puts it so beautifully.
