Fragile Systems

Exhibition of student works developed within the course Künstlerische kollaborative Kunstvermittlungspraxis (artistic collaboration and art education), taught by Hansel Sato.

The exhibition brings together works by students created during the semester. At its core is an exploration of fragile systems, social, ecological, political, and psychological structures that become brittle under the pressure of multiple crises while simultaneously re-forming.

Through mediation-oriented, collective practices, the students engage with questions of vulnerability, dependency, resilience, and resistance. The works on display move between individual experience and collective responsibility, addressing both local and global interconnections of fragility and resilience.

A range of experimental formats, including zines, posters, video works, and audio recordings, opens up multiple points of access to these themes and invites viewers to understand fragility as a starting point for transformation and resistance.

Entering into relationships

An exhibition by students, developed as part of Barbara Eichhorn’s Advanced Drawing Practices course.

Drawing leaves behind its small, intimate format and unfolds as a space-consuming medium. Through performative drawing situations involving movement, the development of drawing traces and shared presence, students connect with themselves and their surroundings. During this artistic exploration, their work evolves from individual to a collective form, enabling them to grasp collaboration as a means of fostering social cohesion.

Skin – Support – Gesture

Exhibition of student works created within the course Painting taught by Carla Degenhardt.

The aim of the course is to create an open space in which body, canvas, and words come together, making resistance and self-assertion palpable and allowing painting to extend beyond itself.
The presentation Skin – Support – Gesture features works that question normative notions of identity, gender, and visibility.
Within this project, we engaged with contemporary queer-feminist positions, including that of the Argentine artist and activist Mariela Scafati.

Artistic Project I

Exhibition of student works developed as part of Christoph Urwalek’s course Artistic Project I.

Painting, graphic art, video, collage, and spatial installations critically examine the social themes of identity, body, space, and object normalization.

Food as a form of resistance

Exhibition of student works developed as part of Carla Bobadilla’s course ‘Artistic Collaborative Practices’.
The theme ‘Food as a practice of resistance’ ran through the course this winter semester: Sending children away due to food shortages and war. Solidarity and strike movements in Austria and Chile, such as ‘Küche für alle’ (Kitchen for All) and ‘Ollas Comunes’, which present eating and cooking together as political acts. Tea drinking as a feminist practice. Sofre, the cloth for eating, on which more than just a meal is enjoyed. The students explored these and other topics and are presenting their results in the form of installations and communication formats that make their reflections visible.

Umbruchstellen (Turning Points)

Exhibition of student works developed within the course Artistic Project by Isa Rosenberger

Our present is shaped by crises. They mark turning points – moments when certainties falter and the future is renegotiated.The exhibition examines how we experience crises, both individually and collectively, what kind of rooms for maneuver open up, and where opportunities for positive transformation can be found.

Video screening

Animations and video works from various courses at the IKL, including Animation & Digitale Darstellung (Franziska Thurner) as well as Video (Flora Watzal). Screening organized by Franziska Thurner and Flora Watzal.

Artistic Photography

Exhibition of student works created within the course Artistic Photography taught by Sascha Reichstein.

The aim of the artistic photography course is to develop individual artistic work using the medium of photography. The course varies depending on the term: In the winter term, the darkroom, analogue photography and experiments are the main focus, whereas the focus for the summer semester lies on studio setting and its possibilities.

Painting

The starting point was an individually chosen theme for the course Painting, led by Nicola Jakob-Feiks, which students developed, expanded, and deepened through a continuous painting practice. A central concern of the course was the conscious slowing down of artistic processes—slowing down as an attitude toward image production, material, and time.

Painting was approached from the material itself: from the making of one’s own painting media to an engagement with pigments, binders, and supports, leading to the emerging image.

The resulting works reflect a conscious mode of making that sharpens perception and connects artistic practice with a sense of responsibility.

Drawing

At the core of the course Drawing, led by Nicola Jakob-Feiks, was an exploration of drawing as a bodily grounded, process-based practice. Through a range of drawing techniques and methodological approaches, students investigated drawing as an immediate expression of perception, movement, and presence. The aim was to find one’s own line through embodied working and to develop the drawing process from the body.

The resulting works present drawing as an open field between control and letting go, between observation and physical experience. They reflect a conscious mode of working that sharpens perception and renders the line visible as a trace of movement, time, and attention.

BlockFace Posters

Exhibition of student works developed as part of the Typography and Layout I course by Nataša Sienčnik.

BlockFace is an open-source printing kit made of 3D-printed matrices that allows letters and shapes to be composed from modular elements. Students used it to design and print experimental typographic posters.

Utopia Publishing

Exhibition of student works developed as part of the Typography and Layout I course by Nataša Sienčnik.
Students designed a series of utopian book titles. Typography, shapes, and colors define the designs.

Body shapes (video documentation)

Video documentation of student work developed as part of the Installation course by Nataša Sienčnik.

The exercise explores the relationship between body, material, and space. Students created body extensions using paper and cardboard to experiment with new forms of spatial experience.

Published as “Verlag der Utopien”, the books are presented as a collective object installation.

Spacial Dialogues (Publication)

A collection of student work developed as part of the Installation course taught by Nataša Sienčnik.

The publication documents gradual explorations of body, material, and space—from performances and body extensions to site-specific experimental installations.
