MARKET AREA: 6 GLASSY STANDS

20. June 2023 |

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:

in the –> SYNTOPIAN VAGABOND

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).
