Performance Daniel Hill

Interactive reading from the artist’s exhibition diary. The excerpts of definitions and remarks of the exhibition visitors reflect the different realities of life and perceptions of queerness.

Panel discussion

Based on socio-political and cultural developments at the end of the 20th century, openly lived queerness became an essential factor in contemporary art and cultural production. However, queer art is still excluded from the hegemonic art market, which is Western, white, and male-dominated, and relegated to the “closet” of subculture.

How can queer spaces be artistically established, defended, and institutionalized in urban and cultural spaces? A conversation will discuss curatorial strategies that can overcome the restrictive spatial politics of heteronormativity.

• Moderation: Michael Kaufmann (Queer Art Spaces Vienna)

• Participants: Candy Licious (Drag Performer), mirabella paidamwoyo* dziruni (artist), Christiane Erharter (Curator Belvedere 21), Aliaksei Barysionak (viennacontemporary, freelance curator)

Presentation of fundraising editions by ASGAR/GABRIEL, Francis RUYTER and Leon SIMONIS.

Evening event “SOLILOQUIZE – new queer opera”
The world premiere of the new short film “Pique Dame: Lisa’s Catharsis” by Martin Willibald Meisl.

Embedded in an evening program full of love, passion, and lust for comedian Denice Bourbon through performances by Hungry, Ewelina Jurga, Anne Wieben, Tamara Mascara, and Alexandre Cardoso. The highlight of both the film and the evening program is the performance of Hungry – a gifted performer of extraordinary stature, known among other things for her work for and with Björk.
