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)

Elvedin Klačar
„Try to escape“
Mirror, metal rods,
installation, 2012/2022

The work deals with the question of independence and our perception of being free. We are surrounded by traps, which are more or less visible, and do little to escape. One of
these traps is our system, which always makes us feel as if we are making decisions ourselves. But in reality the machinery of capitalism holds us in captivity and at the same time helps us feel satisfied.
The system holds us in captivity. Try to escape…

ELVEDIN KLAČAR
1976 born in Rudo (Bosnia and Hercegovina)
2009 graduated from Academy of fine arts in Vienna, Austria, department for Performance-Sculpture
2007 École supérieure des beaux-arts de Marseille.
Elvedin Klačar creates spaces which offer possibilities of confrontation.
His installations are mostly performative and engage visitors in communication.
The intensifying global relations addressed in his work force us to act or react as well as to rethink the conditions of space, which are mostly manipulated and no longer pure or pristine.
The artist hints at the fact that mere existence is not given but has become an increasing factor that needs attention in order to keep up with progress.
His in-situ works often surprise viewers through their ironizing quality when dealing with the reality at hand. //////////

Alina Maksimenko
„Text“
mono channel video, installation, 11 min, 2018

The project investigates the possibility of existence of an initial language for all the creatures. The reactions of the snails to the text extracts can be defined as emotional and quite corresponding to the concept of “reading”.
That gives a chance to an assumption that there is an initial language that can’t be divided in types and groups. This initial language, which is understandable for everyone and available for perception, is being transferred through text forms.
By following those forms creatures can get into senses that are not reachable for them in other way.

ALINA MAKSIMENKO
I was born and grew up in Kiev. Since 1998, painting has been my main field of activity.
In 2014, I showed my first video installation at the Kiev Arsenal.
Then, I began to try my hand at filming. Probably, it was my desire to put time segments in an understandable order that led me to documentary filmmaking.
My deep gratitude to Marcel Lozinski and Wajda School for believing in my potential.
1985 – 1988 studied in Art School named after T.G. Shevchenko
1993 – graduated from Kiev Art College named after M. Boychuk
2019 – graduated documentary film directing speciality; class of Sergey Bukovsky,
Radio Broadcasting and Press Institute;
2020 – graduated Wajda School/Studio, Doc Pro department; Warsaw, Poland;

Ernst Miesgang
„Two objects from the series SHATTERED“
sculpture, 2022

Ernst Miesgang’s artistic works often combine excerpts from everyday objects. His sculptures pretend to be anatomic models. But further examination quickly reveals that theses creations are the product of sheer phantasy.
They are built from shards of ceramics and porcelain, glued with epoxy resin.

ERNST MIESGANG
image researcher
In his artistic work process, he is not concerned with the objective representation of reality and the depiction of the same, but about their conscious misrepresentation.
With unusual perspectives on the familiar and well-known, Ernst Miesgang opens up new spaces for thought and perception and sharpens our view of the everyday life that surrounds us.
//////////

Ivan Pravdić
„Will aestheticization feed the hungry?“
Installation, 2022

The installation continues the artistic and mental endeavours of the ready-made of Marcel Duchamp and the conceptual art of Joseph Kosuth.
Rudimentary and brutalistic, the author recontextualizes objects and opens analytical proposition, contradicting elements of materials, matter and text.
Immediately, the audience is confronted with the uncomfortable question that deconstructs the sole traditional understanding of art and its function in society, as well as the concept of existential security of the individual.

IVAN PRAVDIĆ
artist and lecturer from Serbia
He works as professor of Dramaturgy, Polymedia Arts and Time Design at Universities in Belgrade and Novi Sad.
With performances, actions, drama, audience participations, workshops, videos, ambients and texts participated in festivals and symposiums in Canada, Portugal, Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Spain, Hungary, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Russia and whole ex-Yugoslavia.

Dino Rekanović
„Long live the work!“
Unknown (Untitled), cyanotype on fabric / mixed technique, 2022

I was born in a country that no longer exists. This socialist-federal state of Yugoslavia was rebuilt after the liberation by its own people, singing songs like “Long live the work”.
Under the guiding concept of brotherhood and unity, exemplified by the textile combine Kombitex in Bihać, we can observe a successful rise and build-up through the propaganda material of Tito’s Yugoslavia, the following disintegration, to the much too rapid change to a capitalist society without the necessary time of transition.
It is a documentary photography by an unknown author, from the above mentioned combine. After scanning, it was again processed to the negative and then exposed on cotton with cyanotype. The work is taken from the overall cycle of an on-going project.

DINO REKANOVIĆ
Photo and video artist
Dino exposes for his projects mostly through so-called alternative photographic methods. He uses cotton fabrics, glass and other objects as exposure material. Besides his artistic projects, he runs the gallery Photon in Vienna, with a focus on Southeast European contemporary photography and directs the analog photo festival Rotlicht.

Hannes Zebedin
„Searching Anywhere for Equality Somewhere“
installation/ cable sheaths, 2022

I started collecting cable sheaths six years ago. I keep coming across them in the urban environment. These remnants testify to copper theft.
In times of crisis the raw material market is the one that functions the longest, thus the price of copper is relatively constant compared to other developments. Furthermore, copper is often directly accessible because of its function as electricity conductor – we’re surrounded by electricity everywhere and at all times.
More and more people are being forced to cover the cost of living day by day through their own initiative, whether legally or illegally. Gutting the cables of copper creates hollow spaces that for me signify a metaphor for ways through life and strategies for living.
Imagine the lives and future of those people whose survival depends on foraging from their immediate environment. If you compare copper theft with other kinds of theft according to economic rules, you will find out that it is one of the less lucrative thieving methods, because the effort is in no proportion to the yield.
This is the very reason why the action is for me far more than merely a crime; it is an almost desperate survival method achieved by “harvesting” material from the nearby urban environment, which in turn reflects social actuality.
As time went by, I also started to procure larger sized cable sheaths and to collect them as an aggregate of different destinies.
Since the material is stored in piles in scrap dealers’ yards, the idea took shape to build something sculptural or architectural with them, again an indicator of the present economic situation, which is also marked by lack of perspective, by finiteness.

HANNES ZEBEDIN
born 1976 in Lienz, lives in Sela na Krasu/Slovenia and Vienna.
The artistic practice of Hannes Zebedin deals fundamentally with the experimentation in three-dimensional spaces. These spaces are examined for their urbanistic, social, political or geographical relevance.
The resulting installations, actions, interventions, videos, photographs, and objects not only serve to only the illustration of power structures, but should at the same time also point out possibilities for change and self-determination.

Performance

blemija borovic, Jan Vysocky
„The Light of this World is Fake“

The performance permeates the secret hours of Antonin Artaud’s life in his search for a unique language halfway between movement and thought. Tuning into hidden frequencies which surround us.

Indriga Bagdonaité, Rob Terrestrial
„The Wait“
Video, 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.

INDRIGA BAGDONAITÉ
Indriga Bagdonaité (b.1991) is an artist living and working in Norwich.
She graduated with an MA in Fine Art from Norwich University of Arts, and BA Fine Art from Vilnius Academy of Arts. As an emigré, her work plays with notions of home, of nostalgia, melancholy, place and memory.
Her compositions are often drawn from personal photography archives.

ROB TERRESTRIAL
experimental video and sound artist,
inspired by constructivism, early experimental animation, with a D.I.Y aesthetic.
His recent work has been an exploration of episodic memory and place, creating films which are expressions of his own past. there is an emptiness to the work which invites the viewer to inhabit, by giving the viewer time and space to reflect, imagine and empathize.
There is a strong improvisational element to Robs practice. following instinct, building pieces depending on what looks or feels right at the time. There are similarities within his audio compositions, in which the use of effects to manipulate the sounds are used in a live sense, in real time.
Imperfections and accidents are usually left in the work, these ways of working stemming from his punk ethos.

Ana Bilankov
„Lovemap“
HD video, 7 min., 2021

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.

ANA BILANKOV
Visual artist, born in Zagreb, lives and works in Berlin.
Her conceptual and contextual practice in the media photography, video/experimental film, installation and text examines themes of poetics / politics of dislocation, migration, nomadism, individual and collective memory and construction of identity within „in-between-ness“.
She won several grants and was many times an artist in residence in different European cities and in the USA, e.g. Residency Unlimited and Pioneer Works, New York, Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio, USA; Q21MuseumsQuartier, Vienna. Bilankov’s works have been shown internationally in art venues like Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb;
Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rijeka; Dazibao Centre de Photographies Actuelles, Montreal; Photon Gallery, Ljubljana; Kino Arsenal, Berlin; Gallery Loris, Berlin; 1st Moscow Biennale, Museum of Modern Art, Moscow, Gallery Nova / WHW, Zagreb,
as well as at film & video festivals like 29. Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival; South East European Film Festival #2, Berlin; 25. Days of Croatian Film, Zagreb; Video in Progress 5, Ljubljana; 25 FPS – International Experimental Film and Video Festival, Zagreb.

Monica Parii, Goran Bećirčić
„I want to be Anna Netrebko“
Video, 10 min., 2021

The shortfilm 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.

MONICA PARII
is a Filmmaker born 1980 in southeastern Europe – Noroc!
She was squeezed through a tiny hole in the Iron Curtain to the other side and landed headlong in the midst of Viennese loveliness. She made the German language her own, to be able to use it for her purposes. One of them is to fail blamelessly grandiose in it.  At the age of 17 she started working at a youth editorial radio-department of the Austrian Broadcasting Company ORF and has never stopped working in the field of media ever since. Today she works as a director, editor and graphic designer in the commercial and non-commercial sector on TV documentaries, music videos, commercials and short films. In 2008 she co-founded the Viennese audiovisual studio On Screen.

KLAVIR TRIO
modern jazz
In the traditional piano trio formation, the Ensemble dedicates itself to original compositions as well as selected songs of old masters and goes with joy on the ice of free improvisation!
In the original compositions, the attitude to life of a nomad, a stranger in exile, is expressed: around the recurring leitmotif, styles and rhythms are played with, and in the improvised solos, against the background of world music melody, old school jazz is resurrected in a kind of incantation and ironic reminiscence, as in a passionate extempore.

He hasn’t played with any internationally-known DJs (or nationally-known, for that matter). Couple of years ago he picked up Gilles Peterson from the airport for a party that he organized, and Gilles had very polite things to say about the mix-CD that eXmono insisted on playing the whole drive into town.
Other DJs have said that eXmono is “a very nice guy” with fantastic mixing skillz and authentic track selection.
