Manuel Pelmus: Remediations Event

Artist talk / Workshop (in English)
In the framework of the series “VERHÄLTNISSE”
Organised by Nathalie Koger
In cooperation with the Seminar ?History will Repeat Itself? - Art of the 20th century IV by Felicitas Thun-Hohenstein, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna

Alexandra Pirici and Manuel Pelmus represented Romania at the 55th Venice Biennial in 2013: they formulated their contribution as an experience, transformed objects into actions. In ?An Immaterial Retrospective of the Venice Biennal? a group of performers were revisiting the history of the Biennial, repeatedly, every day, and translated previous contributions where personal and collective memories were tickled. In this presentation and demonstration Manuel Pelmu? remediates their approach, their process, their realizations and their experiences with their counterparts and companions.

Manuel Pelmu? is a choreographer from Bucharest. He has had numerous gallery and museum exhibitions, most recently his projects were shown at, a.o., Tate Modern, London, Tate Liverpool (2016), Ludwig Museum, Cologne (2016), Off-Biennale Budapest (2015), The Kiev Biennale, Kiev (2015).

Introduction by Nathalie Koger

VERHÄLTNISSE
Methoden der ?Appropriation Art? (Kunst der Aneignung) als Prozesse des Verstehens, Beziehens und Distanzierens

Aneignung ist ein Bildungsprozess, in dem sich mitunter das Appropriierte und der/die Appropriierende verändert. Wodurch genau diese Veränderung entsteht und was sie hervorbringt wird diese Reihe anhand der Appropriation Art zuschreibender künstlerischer Arbeiten erörtern und beschreiben, insbesondere Arbeiten mit einem größeren performativen Anteil und/oder einem dokumentarischen Charakter. Diese sind natürlich oftmals auf die oral history der Bezugswerke verwiesen.
