I’m excited to invite you to Polyphonic Archive, Entangled Voices, a group exhibition opening on 14 March at Vereinigung bildender Künstlerinnen Österreichs (VBKÖ) and the reopening of the VBKÖ Archive!
The exhibition emerges from the VBKÖ Member’s Archive Residency Program, hosted during the rennovation of the archive space. During the residency, seven VBKÖ member artists engaged in sustained dialogue with the archive, drawing on its documents, photographs, objects, files, voices as well as it silences and violences.
Within this framework, artists Vinko Nino Jaeger, Eszter Katalin and I formed a research group focusing on queer absences, archival gaps and the question: Where are the queer people in the archive? In the exhibtion, this research developes a visual, spatial and material language through film, video, sound and installation. Our works are shown along side the contributions of Pêdra Costa, Zoe Gudović, Tahereh Nourani, and Christina Werner from the Residency Program, as well as works by other VBKÖ members, SKGAL, living library of becomings, and more.
Working through archival gaps, fragments, and connections, my piece reflects on queer networks that persist beyond the limits of the record, and on how histories move through absence, relation, and institutional memory.
