 Projektraum Viktor Bucher | Praterstrasse 13/1/2 | Vienna | Austria

 In a society characterised by an imperative to perform, to be productive, to take part in a time-pressured culture of high performance, artists are more than ever pressured to work and conform to the demands of professional activity. This is not the only way. In other, more questionable words, is this the way we really want to work? How do artists manage the imbalance between work and life? Are there creative possibilities in refusal, passivity, procrastination and idleness? [continue reading]

Breaching Experiments at SITE gallery Sheffield


Breaching Experiments
Pilvi Takala

14 September – 10 November 2012

Preview Thursday 13 September 6 – 8pm
Performance 3 November 2012

Over the past decade, Finnish artist Pilvi Takala has developed a critical body of singular performance pieces, unpicking those conventions created within micro-social environments.

Breaching Experiments brings together several of Takala’s recent film based works as well as two performances to take place during the exhibition.  Her films are often filmed covertly, capturing and observing or in some cases re-enacting seemingly bizarre social situations. Awkward, provoking, uncompromising and at times unbearably embarrassing, Takala exposes the unspoken rules of society and draws intrinsic conditions to the surface.

Survival Kit 4, Riga, Latvia


From September 6th to 16th the annual international contemporary art festival Survival Kit will take place in Riga, Latvia. The focus of SURVIVAL KIT 2012, a tradition which began in 2009 as a reaction to the changes brought by the global economic crisis, is downshifting or “the escape from the rat’s race”. The concept encourages people to take a critical look at the habitual consuming standards and the traditional perception of success; moreover, it emphasizes the need to balance time for work and leisure, as well as to focus on personal fulfillment.
