Curated by Alexander Martinz

Finissage:
June 29, starting at 19:00

Getting better is an organic process in which four artists enter a gallery space to form a communal body as well as a body of sound. During the exhibition the artists developed and rehearsed a cover version of Cass Elliot’s song „It’s Getting Better“. The musical, graphical and photographic material created during this period will be exhibited at the finissage in form of an audiovisual installation, that depicts the process of developing a collective identity.

Alexander Martinz (*1979, Klagenfurt, AT) studied electroacoustic composition at the mdw - University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna under Germán Toro-Pérez and transmedia art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna under Brigitte Kowanz. Artistic works by Alexander Martinz were shown at the Steirischer Herbst, the Diagonale and can be found in the Lenikus Collection and the Ursula Blickle Video Archive.

TRANS… genre, medium, context, discipline, materiality, aesthetics, identities, gender…
An exhibition series by the institute Transmedia Arts, University of Applied Arts Vienna at Georg Kargl Permanent

At the invitation of Georg Kargl Fine Arts, Jakob Lena Knebl and team of the Transmedia Arts department designed an exhibition series with students at Georg Kargl PERMANENT, running from April to December 2022.

The seven-part series is curated by the team of the class Transmediale Kunst, University of Applied Arts Vienna. The exhibitions present works by students that have a kinship to their own artistic practice, as well as expertise of the individual members of the team. The approach is to make the diverse thematic fields and the methodological diversity of Transmedia Arts visible to a broad public.
