  • Hauntopia / What if

    Haunting has been employed to create a language for the ways in which an unfinished past (Avery Gordon) makes itself known in the here and now. Violent histories or stories make themselves known and cause disruptions, wronging the wrong (Eve Tuck). In the course of this exhibition and conference, we explore the potential of not just welcoming but conjuring the specters and make the unresolved social violence of the past demand their due. As our artistic practices invite ghosts to dance, we trace possible futures in the here and now.

    Concept: Anette Baldauf, Renate Lorenz (Academy of Fine Arts Vienna)
    Opening hours of the exhibition (May 11–Oct. 15): Tue-Sun, 10:00–18:00
