Venue: Schauraum Angewandte, Electric Avenue
Free admission

For the artist collective tat ort a thorough examination of the specific conditions at hand is a key characteristic of their working method. Accordingly, for their exhibition at the Schauraum, Alexandra Berlinger and Wolfgang Fiel propose to connect its window with an interior opening at the Electric Avenue by means of a funnel-like construction. With this view the red flashing \"e\" of the neon signage on the main façade of the MuseumsQuartier is invested with new meaning. By adding a subscript to the \"e\" - \"ffect\" - their intervention reflects established modes of institutionalised representation. At the same time the new work is an ironic commentary on the ambiguity of the relationship between form and substance.

For more than 8 years now, Alexandra Berlinger und Wolfgang Fiel work under the name of tat ort on a wide range of projects along the boundaries of visual art, architecture and urbanism. Of key interest are inquiries into the performative dimension of collective processes, subsequent conflicts and information dynamics as well as its repercussions for the constitution of the physical environment.
