HOUSE OF CONSTRUCTS

Aldo Giannotti in collaboration with Karin Pauer

​

Kunstforum, Vienna; 2024

​

HOUSE OF CONSTRUCTS is a site of various practices of building meaning collectively, opening a field of negotiations between the perception of time, labor practices and the canonized approach to an exhibition space. Visitors are encouraged to a self-determined engagement with the project which takes place between exhibition, performance, participation, and music. The exhibition rooms of the Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien ¬ used since 1989 for exhibitions of fine art in the classical format – are transformed into a space for encounters and a site for the unfinished, the process, the vulnerable in-betweens where art is created.

 

Walls become the surface for constantly growing messages and drawings, the spectators perform work themselves. Stages, scaffoldings, and ropes, become tools for fulfilling the common goal. Sound, video and the museum guards are integrated in the process in order to spread the message and take a stance.
