MARKET AREA: 6 GLASSY STANDS

Premature estate by Michaela Rotsch

Market area at the Vienna Naschmarkt
June 17, 2023, 2:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.

With six glassy stands, I am bringing my work structures from the last two decades to the area of ​​the Vienna flea market in order to give them an arabesque organization. To do this, I am mixing workpieces as artifacts without provenance into the flea market. They are indications between the individual and the pattern, glassy passages and indicative collections.

The six-part installative action was recorded on media. It will be transformed into a SLIPCASE COLLECTION with 6 books:

Volume 1: Rotsch, Michaela: ARABESQUE SPREAD, Munich 2023

The installative action is supported by:

A public image collection is created through a process of collective image sorting with passers-by and protagonists. The PUBLIC COLLECTION is based on a find of 5000 slides with icons of European art history from antiquity to the present. How is the pre-sorted archive deconstructed and re-sorted? Under which procedural conventions is the PUBLIC COLLECTION created?

The PUBLIC COLLECTION was designed as a collective project by Michaela Rotsch (visual art), Juliane Zellner (urban studies) and Rob Lugo (media).

CULTURE OF THE “BETWEEN”_GOBOTAG

PUBLIC LABORATORY INSTALLATION

Potsdam, in the transparent lab of the SYNTOPIC SALON –> SYNTOPISCHER SALON, 90 neurospora crassa cultures, petri dishes, acrylic sheet, 300 x 80 cm

90 GOBOTAGS have been grown in cultures of the model organism “neurospora crassa” and installed in a transparent „laboratory“ at the Neuer Markt in Potsdam. The laboratory here acts like an incubator for the tissue culture of the „between“ represented by the GOBOTAG. The “laboratory” separates the growing cultures from the clean, newly-renovated urban environment. Over a period of two weeks, passersby may observe these cultures forming the black outline of the GOBOTAG.

In cooperation with Manfred Gödel (biology), the institute of medical psychology, Ludwigs-Maximilians-Universität München and the Berlin Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften.

Interdisciplinary discussion with: Manfred Gödel (Biology), Michaela Rotsch (Fine Arts), Ingeborg Reichle (Art History), Ernst Pöppel (Neurosciences) and passersby at the Neuer Markt about cultures of the “space between” and world views.

Istanbul, -> Siemens Sanat, Biennale -> Cityscale

The SYNTOPIAN REFUGE materializes in a temporary micro-space that manifests a transportable protective skin. GOBOTAG_STATION presents a public opinion becomes sculpture. The installation is based on a multi-part urban happening, which employed a pedestrian opinion poll on five vedute of Munich and Istanbul.

The sculpture presents a public opinion become sculpture. It is based on urban happening GOETHE–SIRKECI.

-> GOBOTAG_STATION

This employed a pedestrian opinion poll on five vedute of Munich and Istanbul. The choices of the passers-by were converted into a five-part floor sculpture recalling a three-dimensional diagram as used in statistical investigations. This ‘diagram sculpture’ consists of mockups of five piles of the vedute, the height of each pile depending on how often a veduta has been chosen. Every vedute is tagged by a GOBOTAG. Therefore it becomes a TAGGED IMAGE.

Upcoming:

This diagram sculpture is one part of a multi-part urban happening which next stop is taking place at Sirkeci a trainstation in Istanbul in september the 7th. From september the 9th the sculpture is being presented in the installation SYNTOPIAN REFUGE_GOBOTAG STATION at the exhibition –> “cityscale” in Siemens Sanat, Istanbul.

(DE ) GOBOTAG_TISSUE


The cultivation of GOBOTAG as an organic material (using the funghi Neurospora crassa) has begun. The GOBOTAG, the original invisible space between two figures, grows as a living, organic, molecular structure. The figures are not growing as in GATTACA, but the gap between them is cultivated and grows more visible over time.
