quartier21 @ VIENNA ART WEEK 2014

In just a decade, the consistent focus on exciting, cutting edge art discourse has transformed VIENNA ART WEEK from a high-profile network of art experts into an internationally recognized arts festival.

Curator-Guided Tour: »PCFS - Post Colonial Flagship Store« with Sven Kalden and Georg Klein
Date: Fri, Nov 21, 15:00
Venue: freiraum quartier21 INTERNATIONAL
Admission free
The exhibition “PCFS: Post-Colonial Flagship Store,” conceived by Sven Kalden and Georg Klein in cooperation with Bernhard Draz and Joachim Seinfeld, deals with structures and methods of a new, covert colonialism in the world. Artistic works from eight countries crop up in a product-world camouflage, creating a concentrated space in which we become aware of past and present phenomena of colonialism and which involves the visitors in an irritating interplay of art and reality in a direct and occasionally confrontational way.

Art & Games feat. Jörg Piringer
Date: Sun, Nov 23, 17:00
Venue: Electric Avenue
Admission free
As part of the common game night organized by Broken Rules, eSeL REZEPTION and ZamSpielen, selected parlour and computer games on a video screen in the Electric Avenue of quartier21 stimulate a personal exploration of digital art and its protagonists.
Besides other “communication offerings with game rules,” media artist and musician Jörg Piringer invites viewers to interact with his sound poetry apps on smartphones and tablets at the eSeL REZEPTION. “Untitled,” another installation by Piringer, transforms the visitors’ sounds and speech into live, abstract visual text compositions.
