EMAK BAKIA
In the late 1990s Stefan Germer wrote that art does not develop from novelty, only from thinking through history, its possibilities and conditions*. The artists represented in this exhibition are the point of departure in a reflection about the development of abstraction and its meaning today as Western modernism and a globalized phenomenon. Modernism’s formal creation vocabulary has undergone continuous changes in the course of the 20th and 21st century, growing into new directions, each developing their own way of dealing with reality. Bettina Steinbrügge.
*Cf. Stefan Germer, Germeriana. Unveröffentlichte oder übersetzte Schriften von Stefan Germer zur zeitgenössischen und modernen Kunst, ed. by Julia Bernhard, Cologne 1999, p. 241.
The exhibition takes place in the context of the gallery festival curated by_vienna: Meine Herkunft habe ich mir selbst ausgedacht (My Origins? I Made Them Up).
The theoretical starting point for the participating galleries and curators is provided through the eponymous essay by cultural theorist and author Diedrich Diederichsen.
With the project curated by_vienna, the Vienna Business Agency and its creative center departure have been supporting cooperation between Viennese galleries for contemporary art and international curators since 2009.
curated by_vienna at viennacontemporary 22 until 25 September 2016
