Mimeography on unbleached cotton&nbsp; 150gsm, 25x1200cm loop. Stencil duplicators Gestetner&nbsp; model 366 &amp; 360, black oil-based ink. Shading plates laser cutted plexiglas 3mm fluo red, 20,7 x 8 cm each.&nbsp; Sound recordings mother, 22:01 min; 5 cis men, 23:10 min The installation consists of three parts. The continuous loop print shows a list of daily housework activities. Daily housework is one aspect of care work that is mostly done by women*. This is not only due to traditional concepts of men* and women* but is ingrained in our economy that is built on exploitation and devaluation of this care work. Care work is perceived as a permanent available resource at the service of our society. The loop is a symbol of time and continuity, an invariable succession of identical moments and tasks. But this does not withstand the accumulation of layers of traces printed on the textile. Like time carries memories of past events, each cycle is adding up to the previous, like layers of sediment piling up one onto another. The repetition of daily routines form an agglomerate dominated by fatigue, resilience and endurance. The print is the result of a process of contact and release, which links it immediately to themes of touch, presence, and intimacy, but also loss, separation, and memory.1 The printing medium is a fabric made of cotton pocket liner. Primarily used for the pocket’s inward side, it is usually intended to be invisible. Here it receives the ink and traces the activities of reproductive labor that are often unseen and more often unvalued. The sound installation is the result of two conversations conducted by the artist. In the first conversation the artist speaks with his mother about her life and the care work she has done as a working mother of four children from the 70s to the 90s. The second conversation is a group discussion of five cis men between 19 and 70 who were invited to look at their own roles as partners, fathers, sons or flatmates and to critically question gender dynamics and everyday routines. In the juxtaposition of the two conversations, a space of untranslatability emerges that points beyond the individual perspective to the structures we have internalized through society and education. The shading plates are linked to the stencil duplicators. These printing machines are the predecessors of today’s printers and were used in the 60s and 70s by secretaries and typists, positions predominantly held by women. The shading plates were one of the various accessories to embellish and render the prints unique. Through frottage the pattern was transferred from the plate to the stencil. Inspired by the Beauties series from Willie Cole and the rubbing series from Mona Hatoum, the five shading plates show imprints of the materiality of objects used in daily care work. They materialize the banal of everyday life permanently, revaluing them as artistic artifacts. 1 Jennifer L. Roberts, A. W.

The desire to enrich oneselves is connected to a socio-political level. Hence, although the bills are the promised profit, they exemplify the continuity of political corruption in Austrian politics. Corruption means bribery and corruptibility. According to Transparency International, corruption is an abuse of power for personal gain. It doesn't always have to be about money, it can also be about status and positions. 'Political corruption' in the narrower sense describes the use of a public office for one's own private benefit or for the benefit of third parties, while at the same time causing harm to the general public. Personal enrichment, striving for power and assigning posts to friends, misuses the act of giving as a constituent element of friendship. Furthermore, it undermines community-related and binding decisions in social coexistence, which is often about the fair distribution of resources. So the harm to the general public is not only monetary, but also moral and symbolic. Money Maker approaches this contentious political and social issue in an ironic way. The own desire to rake in money is addressed. Like a lottery in which it is supposedly possible for everyone to find personal happiness. Because what is luck other than to be bathed in money! But only the who-is-who of political corruption falls on our heads. It is not about individuals but showing the structural continuity of corruption in recent Austrian political history. We therefore ask ourselves: Do we want to live in a society in which self-interest and personal enrichment take precedence over the public interest and fair distribution is a mob's battlefield? And we answer: YES! Money is our best friend! We produce the most precious goods, the most beautiful flowers, our local money production does not have to hide in the back room, we show our mimeographs and bring apparently obsolete printing techniques and bills to the people. We are now taking the problem into our own hands. An act of charity in which we compensate for the financial damage that has been done to us! You can print your own bills by lending a hand! <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/187320fa10b1ad257f92ebacd13cf5684c8c56431703a1fbc6699e33234b5dae/vlcsnap-2021-07-28-09h07m09s930.png" data-mid="115016329" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/187320fa10b1ad257f92ebacd13cf5684c8c56431703a1fbc6699e33234b5dae/vlcsnap-2021-07-28-09h07m09s930.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0310974c4f7aceea63d920bcd850e9e9949686d4f97db48cbb1fee793f4d2cf8/vlcsnap-2021-07-28-09h08m44s986.png" data-mid="115016331" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0310974c4f7aceea63d920bcd850e9e9949686d4f97db48cbb1fee793f4d2cf8/vlcsnap-2021-07-28-09h08m44s986.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/da5727d5e489d33e72bba2cef4c189cad835c2f4aad8e0f080cda76b1efffdfc/vlcsnap-2021-07-28-09h17m05s414.png" data-mid="115016333" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/da5727d5e489d33e72bba2cef4c189cad835c2f4aad8e0f080cda76b1efffdfc/vlcsnap-2021-07-28-09h17m05s414.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8a75c9b5548e43006c6f9f06ccb2c6d46065cc71a77c3ca5582467b0e11c43ed/vlcsnap-2021-07-28-09h24m30s429.png" data-mid="115016339" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8a75c9b5548e43006c6f9f06ccb2c6d46065cc71a77c3ca5582467b0e11c43ed/vlcsnap-2021-07-28-09h24m30s429.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9e8c8d76c7a41462592d1245952ca557509c45c5cceaef20cb83463e3e89c311/vlcsnap-2021-07-28-09h20m48s599.png" data-mid="115016336" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9e8c8d76c7a41462592d1245952ca557509c45c5cceaef20cb83463e3e89c311/vlcsnap-2021-07-28-09h20m48s599.png" /> credits: Johanna Eder (photoghraph).

By-passers could draw in a short time and spontaneous manner whatever came to their mind, the drawings were then printed with an analog stencil duplicator. The Otomatic drawing workshop references the Surrealists, but focuses on spontaneity, playfulness, and the freedom it confers. We aimed to exploit the idea of reaching out to the subconscious and trying to repress control and rationality while drawing.&nbsp;In the first two days of the workshop people had the possibility to draw spontaneously, then the drawings were duplicated with two gestetner duplicators (300 and 330 models) on site. In this way we created a pool of drawings that people could chose from to edit their own individual sketchbook. Through the sketchbook, the individual, creative act of drawing was embedded in a collective artwork. Furthermore, people could be part of the whole production process, make their own editorial choices and create their own sketchbook which was made possible by a collective creative expression. The workshop took place at Schillerplatz in front of the Academy of fine arts Vienna. A&nbsp;total of 156 drawings on&nbsp;2.730 double-sided A5 pages were printed. <img width="1536" height="864" width_o="1536" height_o="864"

Klangfolger &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Original Copies addresses the fetishism and sacralization of the original in art and the resulting relation to copies. The idea of one original is the basis of the art market which creates its value through rarity. In an economic system where individualism and property are central, the construct of the genius Artist and limited production are entangled to define the economical value of an artwork. Art institutions often exchange the original with a copy, deluding the public while reiterating the fetish of the original. Photographs are destroyed after exhibition to preserve the unicity of the first print. Original copies is an ironic work that has the copy as a starting point. It shows a Xerox 914 advertisement from 1961. The 914 was the first photocopier, replacing analog duplicators. It revolutionized the copying industry, our reading behavior, and our relation to authorship. From the start Xerox developed its advertisement campaigns around the perfection of the copies, arguing that no differences could be found between the original document and its copies. It is an homage to the artist and designer Bruno Munari. In the 70's Munari produced a series called Original Xerographies. The work consisted in moving objects or images placed on the copier, while still in motion, resulting in 'impossible-to-replicate' image. What was then printed was not a copy of the original but an original itself. During his first show in a gallery in New York, he came with a copier and produced more of his Original Xerographies at the entrance of the gallery and offered them to by-passers. The gallery owner was pissed. The Original Copies are printed on an analog stencil duplicator, where imperfection is part of the printing process. Therefore original and copy merge into one, because what is an original if not an imperfect copy. <img width="4107" height="2738" width_o="4107" height_o="2738" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a94cef6b63aa4e058e8c85b8e3b35571ca01d4a99edc34af84959d70793a380/OC_2.jpg" data-mid="114630215" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1a94cef6b63aa4e058e8c85b8e3b35571ca01d4a99edc34af84959d70793a380/OC_2.jpg" /> <img width="4107" height="2738" width_o="4107" height_o="2738" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4f30d9fdd7f76ab82a1caacfcba2b0c1e65dddd0957b83e71121e28ca089c91e/OC_1.jpg" data-mid="114630259" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4f30d9fdd7f76ab82a1caacfcba2b0c1e65dddd0957b83e71121e28ca089c91e/OC_1.jpg" /> We vote! https://obsolet.at/We-vote-1 Fri, 23 Jul 2021 09:10:05 +0000 Obsolet Studio https://obsolet.at/We-vote-1 We Vote! 2020 <img width="4107" height="2738" width_o="4107" height_o="2738" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/844e98c3665833264943c1d78ad0dfcc1de7124de44131abdd5b667090d6e5e8/R0017050B.jpg" data-mid="114496402" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/844e98c3665833264943c1d78ad0dfcc1de7124de44131abdd5b667090d6e5e8/R0017050B.jpg" /> Performative installation&nbsp; Academy of Fine Arts, Yppenplatz and Rathaus Vienna AT &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; In 2020 Vienna held its state parliament and communal elections. At this moment almost 30 percent of Vienna’s population were excluded from voting because they don’t have the Austrian citizenship. This number is growing bigger because political rights are linked to citizenship and Austria has one of the most restrictive citizenship regimes in Europe. While Vienna is gaining a lot from its diverse inhabitants, one third of them are nonetheless deprived of political rights. They don’t have the possibility to vote neither are their interests represented in Austrian political discourses and actions. <img width="1600" height="1200" width_o="1600" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/45446bd7ee9bf7318663ebd536e5ab28f7c1ed70391eafdbccc0e73468199d03/6e803bf6-3c6f-4527-a2f2-c007c01c56bc.JPG" data-mid="114626323" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/45446bd7ee9bf7318663ebd536e5ab28f7c1ed70391eafdbccc0e73468199d03/6e803bf6-3c6f-4527-a2f2-c007c01c56bc.JPG" />Yppenplatz, Vienna <img width="1122" height="841" width_o="1122" height_o="841" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5ddb0571ac763ad995b36a57963f9c5304951f95d4e44d22a857917199c55b36/90A01324-419E-486D-A22F-6E76376669BF.JPG" data-mid="114605856" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5ddb0571ac763ad995b36a57963f9c5304951f95d4e44d22a857917199c55b36/90A01324-419E-486D-A22F-6E76376669BF.JPG" />Rathaus, Vienna <img width="1288" height="966" width_o="1288" height_o="966" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7e5e70962210d18174fa074db118bacb51fae0ddb2f1de8fe2f9e06f2b2f4d7c/IMG_3572.JPG" data-mid="114626318" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7e5e70962210d18174fa074db118bacb51fae0ddb2f1de8fe2f9e06f2b2f4d7c/IMG_3572.JPG" />Rathaus, Vienna &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The performative installation “We Vote!” addresses this undemocratic situation in an ironic way. Ballots are continuously printed, only to be destroyed right away, leaving nothing but scrap of paper. The ballots are printed by hand on a mimeograph, an obsolete office duplicator from the 70s. The machine comes from a communal office in Austria and has been rehabilitated for this performative installation. This duplicating technology, using stencil and real ink was present in offices, schools, churches, and used by political groups and artists before it was replaced by copy printers. These machines democratized printing, making cheap and quick printing possible and accessible to all. At the same time the duplicator as well as the shredder are symbols of administrative practices, the production and the destruction of the ballots represent the lack of political will to detach political rights from citizenship. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The stencil duplicator used for the installation, a Gestetner 330, will continuously printout ballots on endless paper that will be directly fed into a shredder. The goal is to print 550 500 ballots on endless paper for three days representing the absent votes of 30% of Vienna’s population. &nbsp;
