Programme of performances and events of “The Cynics Republic”
Shamelessness is expressed not solely through the exposed body, but also at the level of speech, delivered in a crude manner in the social sphere. Applying the principle of non-dissimulation, a sort of radical candor, the cynic blows up the code with which cultural life is, implicitly or explicitly, upheld.
When Crates asked Hipparchia for her hand in marriage he disrobed in front of her and said: “This is the groom and these are his possessions, choose accordingly.”

Vue Tactile
Friedl Vom Groller
Room 37, duration 2 h
The oeuvre of Friedl Kubelka / vom Gröller stems from an analog practice in photography and film, a practice in which the notion of the portrait has become the focus of her artistic and psychological observations. The factor of time and the associated process of aging have been made visible during the artist’s continuous study of her own self and of others. The artist translates the static elements of black-and-white photography into the realm of her films, which often depict only minimal gestures in the faces of the chosen subjects.

In his singular artistic practice starting in the early 1960s, Július Koller has deliberately multiplied and varied his works, dignifying worthless objects of common use with his personal signature and thus undermining the art world’s principles and rules or commodity.

I chose a simple linear grid as seen in the drawing and marked the points on the ceiling. I attached the ends of the cords one by one with tesaflex at these points and let the cord go down to make a pattern on the floor (the cords must be long enough). I stuck plastic sheeting over the pattern to prevent visitors from smudging the patterns.

Arnisa Zeqo write : “this work is embedded in the domestic production of art, where the artists corrupt everyday absurdities with artistic actions. Marie Cool runs around endlessly to create a wind that lifts up the bag. The atmosphere she creates is at once serious, playful and oneiric. The plastic bag is as light as a feather. Yet it takes so much work and movement to make it fly. For me, the action is a translation of all the effort it takes to make ends meet in a house.

The Archives of Lois Weinberger
A film by Markus Heltschl
Room 37, duration 30 min
Courtesy of the artists and Salle Principale gallery, Paris.
Based on the artist’s archive, the film shows sequences and interviews about his work which questions hierarchies and contributed significantly to the recent discussion on art and nature since the early 1990’s. To quote him: Grow = Confused & Pretentious. While focusing on the relationship between “nature” and “culture,” Lois Weinberger is concerned with the “peripheral areas of perception”. His formal inventions and linguistic interventions address that place where the artificial and the natural interlock in order to lay bare a cultural process among the shifts and changes.

Starting in 1970, Koller became the subject of a series of annual portraits known as “U.F.O.-naut J.K.” Koller’s strategy of using real objects, the real world, and everyday life as a given program for displacement gained particular attention; a strategy intended to put an end to aesthetics and to create a “new cultural situation,” resulting in a “new life, a new creativity, and a new Cosmohumanist Culture.”
