Cäcilia Clara Sarah Karolina Alexandra Veronika Elijas Vincent Thea Johanna Beate Brown: Eloquentes Stammeln

The work entitled Im Vestibülchen (»in the little vestibule«) is based on reflections on glass rooms and transparency. Following a series of exhibitions by the artist group in the EXPORT CUBE in April 2021, the foyer is now treated as a concentrated semi-public space, thus forming a link to the original function of the MQ Art Box as a walk-in advertising space for a banking institute.
Transparency itself imitates the brittleness of the working material glass. For dreamers of nooks, corners and holes, it is quite horrific. Transparent corners hardly offer any protection. But discretion is important to us in order to flee representative space in our wilful hours and to allow what has not yet ripened to grow there in light concealment. Twining vines romance creates a climate of well-being in the lobby, at the desk, the bank foyer or the office.
Sitting on sofas, waiting. Being received. Good morning. Please fill this in. We wanted to put a chewing gum machine in the foyer. But chewing gum was not allowed. Every day, Brown stuck one or two pieces of gum between the slatted curtains of the office windows. Over the course of 20 years (1 piece of gum = 1.5 g, approx. 250 workdays per year) the curtains gained at least nine kilograms in weight.

With works by Clara Boesl, Sarah Katharina Eder, Veronika Harb, Karolina Jirickova, Alexandra Kahl, Johanna Liska, Beate Ronacher, Elijas Wallner & Vincent Caspar Böhm and work by Cäcilia Brown and Thea Moeller
