Celina Eceiza: Ofrenda
Video
Celina Eceiza’s approach draws on popular practices in Argentina and abroad since the 1960s, when art spaces began expanding robustly into social contexts. Early Argentinian environments such as Marta Minujín and Rubén Santantonín’s La Menesunda (1965) come to mind as a seminal work that pushed the boundaries of art to create something that can be experienced with all the senses. Eceiza creates rooms that are to be inhabited and enjoyed by others, providing numerous cushions on the floor to rest and an invitation to reconsider idleness as a positive, uplifting activity. Her installations invite us to partake in pleasant, porous and expansive soft architectures. Constructed as if they were states of mind, these spaces yearn to be experienced by a body that forgets its rational nature and gives way to the pure will of sensitive knowledge. This intimate and, at the same time, collective experience displays its political power by presenting art as a living form that must be nurtured in order to reveal new possible links between humans.

For HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark the artist has developed her first own performative presentation, with a setting for her puppets with three scenes set in an imaginary spaceship, an exhibition, and the spaces that the scenes depict: the Schlouflaboar, the Houloudecks, and the Space Grotto Disco. The piece is a combination of physical theater and puppetry, performed by the artist together with her sister Katharina Arzberger and accompanied by musical interludes arranged by Manuel Obriejtan.

Errores Irreales is only truly activated by the performance staged by Diego Bianchi himself in order to complete his theatrical installation, which takes physicality and its limits to a new level.

Ofrenda
Slide show
Ofrenda [Offering] presents a way of inhabiting a space as if the architecture were a body, breathing erratically, changing states as you pass from one room to the next. The rigidity of the building collapses as the walls are draped in thousands of metres of fabric joined together through the collective and timeless action of sewing, until they form a single smooth surface, sensitive to the slightest change.

Video
Annemarie Arzberger has developed her first original piece for HALLE FÜR KUNST Steiermark, combining her lush, detailed, and often bizarre imagery into a multi-layered stage work that combines physical and puppet theater, dance, lipsync, music, and language. In a three-part, dreamlike theatrical spaceship setting, she brings psychological states, childlike imagination, and social issues to life through characters such as Dolores and the Angst sisters in a performative, poetic, playful, yet disturbing scenario.
