Janine Schranz and Stephan Blumenschein alter the basic conditions of the exhibition space of New Jörg by deflecting the attention from the immediately perceived inside, beyond its specific framework, and towards the outside. By shifting the set-up of its architectural details - the doors, the lighting, the steps to enter - the parameters this room is composed of are disorientated. The artists stage a moment that repeatedly comes into being. The visiting body is subjected to shifting light conditions, a change in temperature, and air flow.

What is outside the set boundaries of the exhibition is reaching in by taking out the electric lights inside, through the windows and by regulating the opening of the doors to the street and adjunct room with pre- programmed motors. The alterations then (de-) construct the perception of the exhibition space to an unfixed sequence of images. Maike Hemmers responds to the exhibition with a contribution in the form of a poem directed towards (imaginative) rooms beyond the entrance and the bar space.

The work reflects on the affective movement of bodies and the multi-layered direction of touch. Mit freundlicher Unterstützung von BKA, Otto Mauer Fonds, Kulturabteilung der Stadt Wien (MA7) und Mondriaan Fonds
