Program One Night Exhibitions 22
2006 organisierte .dɩtiramb zum ersten Mal unter dem Thema “für das bedingungslose in kunst und mensch” im Projektraum des Wiener WUK die erste Edition der One Night Exhibitions. In den darauffolgenden Jahren wurde das Experiment erfolgreich und jedes mal in neuer Konstellation und an unterschiedlichen Aufführungsorten wiederholt: WUK, Rhiz, Fluc, Ostklub, Badeschiff, Ottakringer Brauerei, AU.
Nach einigen ruhigeren Jahren, in denen die beteiligten KünstlerInnen .dɩtirambs mit anderen Unterfangen beschäftigt waren bzw. sich im Ausland in ihrer künstlerischen Arbeit weiter entwickelten, ist wieder der Augenblick gekommen über die Grundidee “für das bedingungslose in kunst und mensch” im Rahmen einer aktuellen Edition von One Night Exhibitions zu reflektieren.
Der Gedanke hinter dem Projekt One Night Exhibitions beruht auf einem einfachen Konzept: Die One Night Exhibitions findet in einer Nacht an einem Ort statt und verschwindet wieder. Es werden dabei verschiedene künstlerische Sprachen in ihrer Kohäsion dargestellt – eine Verschmelzung polymorpher Ausdrucksformen.
Wie gelingt die Verschmelzung der Kunstdisziplinen ohne ihnen untreu zu werden? Streben die Kunstdisziplinen nach einer Autonomie oder sind sie erst in der Begegnung eigen? Untreu gegen Untreue? Was prägt den verweilenden Augenblick zwischen Kunst und Mensch entlang der Schaffensstrasse? Wie oder wann wird ein/e KünstlerIn ein Mensch? Ist nicht die freie kreative Tätigkeit ein wesentliches Merkmal der Menschen?
Der Umriss der Ausstellung, der nur für kurze Zeit seine feste Gestalt nimmt, erzeugt eine Dynamik der bedingungslosigkeit, nach der wir streben.
…für das bedingungslose in kunst und mensch…
Das Thema der One Night Exhibitions ist auf den Aufruf gerichtet: „für das bedingungslose in kunst und mensch“!
Das „bedingungslose“ im künstlerischen Schaffensprozess wird oft unkritisch übernommen und unreflektiert reproduziert. Es wird von der Gesellschaft beeinflusst, von KünstlerInnen verformt, auf unsichtbaren, vernebelten Märkten aufgewertet, verkauft oder verworfen.
Das bedingungslose wird selbstverständlich, es wird gleichzeitig unbedingt nötig. Unserem Verständnis nach müsste die Kritik gerade diese Selbstverständlichkeit im passenden Augenblick hinterfragen und dort ansetzten, wo sie in den gegenwärtig-etablierten und verfestigten Formen der Kunst ausbleibt und darüber hinaus gehen, wo sich die festen Umrisse der Kunst verschmelzen.
Aus dieser Ausgangslage entwickelt sich eine Art stetiger Protest für die Befreiung der Kunst aus seinen bloß „verdauungsfördernden“ Formen einer Kulturindustrie.
In diesem Sinne stellt die Kunst für uns ein verfeinertes Mittel dar, das Leben selbst zu begreifen und auszuüben. Sie kann dem Menschen neue Herangehensweisen eröffnen, ohne auf ihre ökonomischen Bedingungen reduziert zu sein. Insbesondere in Zeiten von Katastrophen und weltumspannenden Ereignissen, wie eine globale Pandemie oder ein Krieg, wird der Bezug des Menschen zum Leben selbst und zur Kunst neu verhandelt und ausgelotet.
Dieser günstige Moment kann dazu führen
„die gewohnten Begrenztheit […] zu verwerfen und die Grenzen dessen was man Realität nennt, bis ins Unendliche zu erweitern.“ (Antonin Artaud: Das Theater und sein Double)

In 2006 .dɩtiramb organized the first edition of the One Night Exhibitions under the theme “für das bedingungslose in kunst und mensch” (“for the unconditional in art and people”) in the project space of Viennese WUK. In the following years, the experiment was successfully repeated, each time in a new constellation and at different performance venues: WUK, Rhiz, Fluc, Ostklub, Badeschiff, Ottakringer Brewery, AU.
After a few quieter years, in which .dɩtiramb’s participating artists were busy with other ventures or further developed their artistic work abroad, the moment has come again to reflect on the basic idea “for the unconditional in art and people” in the context of the current edition of One Night Exhibitions.
The idea behind the project One Night Exhibitions is based on a simple concept: One Night Exhibitions takes place in one night in one place and disappears again. Different artistic languages are presented in their cohesion – a fusion of polymorphic forms of expression.
How can the merging of art disciplines succeed without becoming unfaithful to them? Do the art disciplines strive for autonomy or are they only peculiar in the encounter? Unfaithful versus Infidelity? What shapes the lingering moment between art and people along the creative path? How or when does an artist become a person? Is not free creative activity an essential characteristic of human beings?
The outline of the exhibition, which takes its fixed shape only for a short time, creates a dynamic of unconditionality that we strive for.
…for the unconditional in art and people…
The theme of the One Night Exhibitions is directed towards the call: “for the unconditional in art and people”!
The “unconditional” in the artistic creative process is often uncritically adopted and reproduced without reflection. It is influenced by society, deformed by artists, valorized in invisible, obfuscated markets, sold or discarded.
The unconditional becomes self-evident, at the same time it becomes absolutely necessary. According to our understanding, critique should question precisely this matter at the appropriate moment and start where it is absent in the currently established and solidified forms of art and go beyond, where the solid contours of art merge.
From this starting point, a kind of constant protest develops for the liberation of art from its merely “digestive” forms of cultural industry. In this sense, art represents for us a refined means of comprehending and exercising life itself.
It can open up new approaches to people without being reduced to their economic conditions. Especially in times of catastrophes and global events, such as a global pandemic or war, people’s relationship to life itself and to art is renegotiated and explored.
This convenient moment can lead
“to the rejection of the usual limitations […] and infinitely extend the frontiers of what is called reality..” (Antonin Artaud: The Theater and its Double)

THE WAIT (2021)
The Wait is a short film documenting the experience of the artists over the previous 18 months. The piece is made up of archived footage taken by the artists over this period, combined with stop motion, experimental video work alongside a composed soundtrack, comprising elements of the archived video. The film explores the use of horizon lines, overlaying collage compositions to express the feeling of being stationary against the flow of time. The Wait is the first collaboration between the 2 artists.

LOVEMAP (2021)
HD video, 7’07”
The short movie is a poetic experiment exploring the relationship between geographical and personal boundaries and identity. It connects elements of roadmovie with a fictitious love story and experience of closeness, distance, being a stranger and irrational longing for the desert landscape. The footage was made during an adventurous journey through Tunisia several years ago, one of the country in a big turmoil after the “revolution” at that time.
Today, in the moments of global impossibility of mobility and local isolation, our longings for closeness and traveling through foreign worlds are increasing. This cinematic journey with its dreamlike narrative can maybe satisfy our hunger for the same for a moment.

ICH WILL ANNA NETREBKO SEIN! (2021)
The short film I want to be Anna Netrebko! examines the questions of power and identity attached to the topic of citizenship. It focuses on a form of citizenship which is “in the special interest of the Republic of Austria, […] and is granted on the basis of extraordinary achievements, made or expected.”
I want to be Anna Netrebko navigates the space between a feature, a documentary and an experimental film, in an attempt to depict the tension between the abstract concept of the rule of law and the concrete reality of life. From protagonist blemija borovic’s first-person perspective, we observe the abstract demands of the concept of citizenship melt down into absurd daydreams. What can or must or should or may be? What is right, what is wrong? The demands, the circumstances, the self itself? Thoughts circle round power, powerlessness, longing, round the privileged, and blemija – only in absurdity, it seems, lies the redeeming answer to all of this.

Live Acts:
KLAVIR TRIO
In der traditionellen Klaviertrio-Besetzung widmet sich die Formation neben Eigenkompositionen auch ausgewählten Songs alter Meister und begibt sich mit Freude aufs Glatteis der freien Improvisation!
In den Eigenkompositionen kommt das Lebensgefühl eines Nomaden, eines Fremden im Exil zum Ausdruck: Um das immer wieder kehrende Leitmotiv herum wird mit Stilen und Rhythmen gespielt und in den improvisierten Soli lässt man vor dem Hintergrund der Weltmusik Melodie in einer Art Beschwörung und ironischen Erinnerung, wie in einem leidenschaftlichen ex tempore, den Old School Jazz wieder auferstehen.
