Hexenküche – Formerly Known As
Innsbruck, Mühlauer Klamm September - Oktober 2023
Das Projekt „Hexenküche – Formerly Known As“ wird durch eine Reihe von architektonischen und textlichen Interventionen an genau diesem spezifischen Ort die gängige historische Erinnerung an die Figur der Hexe in Frage stellen. Eine mehrteilige visuelle und skulpturale Arbeit, einschließlich eines Heilkräutergartens, überarbeiteter Beschilderung und neu gestalteter Sitzgelegenheiten, wird den Ort umgestalten – von einem, der aktiv geschlechtsspezifische Hierarchien verstärkte, zu einem, der einladend und ermächtigend für alle ist, die vorbeikommen.
Im Frühherbst werden im Rahmen dieses Projekts eine Podiumsdiskussion und ein Workshop mit dem Titel „Wem gehört der Berg?“ stattfinden. Diese Veranstaltung wird sich mit der Frage befassen, wie sich strukturelle Ungleichheiten und Diskriminierungen wie Rassismus, Sexismus, Behindertenfeindlichkeit und Homophobie auf die Erfahrungen in den Bergen auswirken, wobei ein besonderer Schwerpunkt auf Innsbruck und der umliegenden Landschaft liegt. Ebenfalls im Frühherbst wird die neu gestaltete Hexenkuchl eröffnet.

The way one relates to land, water, and other so-called natural resources is reflected in the way goods, relations, and affinities are produced. Economic models that devalue and obstruct care produce the subjectivities that drive the current climate crisis and the ongoing disruption/destruction of ecosystems, displacing both humans and other-than humans, with blatant disregard for the embodied knowledge these ecosystems cultivate and nourish. In her video work Three (or more) Ecologies: A Feminist Articulation of Eco-intersectionality – Part I: For the World to Live, Patriarchy Must Die from 2019, Angela Anderson brings together two geographically disparate locations on the globe: North Dakota and Rojava (Northern Syria). The film contrasts the highly industrial/technical nature of the destructive fracking industry in North Dakota’s Bakken region with a women’s autonomous village project in Rojava, emphasizing the urgent need for a societal shift towards relations of empathy and care.
Following the screening will be a conversation with the eminent feminist thinker and activist Silvia Federici on the topics of care, eco-intersectional empathy, and the necessity of redefining value in the face of impending ecological collapse.
“Ecologies of Care” is part of a new series of events dedicated to questions of social justice launched by the Institute for Diversity and Gender Studies at University Mozarteum.

In their complexity, mutations permeate our world, not only in a biological sense, but also in social and political realities. They are transformative, unpredictable and sometimes irreversible. The group exhibition at Villa 102 explores this theme in immersive media, sound and video installations. Shaped by nine months of interdisciplinary artistic research, the works of the seven thinkers, artists and cultural practitioners question societal conditions in terms of community, health, politics, technology and ecology. Through the interplay of different disciplines such as architecture, art and philosophy or composition, the participating artists reveal the constructed character of global structures: Who creates, who has access and who decides? What emerges is a critical re-thinking that has the ambition to change the perception of dominant narratives and hierarchies.
Mutations was born out of the interdisciplinary thematic residency programme realised in 2020/2021 as a cooperation of KfW Stiftung with the Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart. The artworks were realised as part of the residency programme and first shown in Stuttgart in 2021. For the exhibition at Villa 102 one year later, the works were further developed and seek the public dialogue.
Participating artists: Sabina Hyoju Ahn, Angela Anderson, Grayson Earle, Ana María Gómez López, Clara Jo, Maxwell Mutanda and Joana Quiroga.

The Taste of Water Leaky vessels, flowing rituals and non-consensual collaborations

Exhibit Gallery Schillerplatz 3, 1. floor 1010 Vienna

Water. Water has memory. It registers what happens to it. It seems simple and pure but it hides its dissolved memories in plain sight – histories of labor, pollution and colonialism. Its flow conjures connections of discontinuous times of experience. Water is centrifugal and fugitive, it is in/around/within/without/below/along. Water leaks through territories. Moving through pores, bodies, communities and nations – water loves and conflicts. Water is an element of care in a time when land is the element of fear. Water is also a weapon, a conflict line, a surface that reflects geopolitics and shapes economies and climates. It is both a resource and a proxy, a venue for constant "friction" at the crossing of empires.
The Taste of Water is a site for multiple encounters with and around water. The exhibition is a leaky vessel, with artworks flowing in and out of the space. Propositions are realized elsewhere only to wash up on the Academy’s shores. As an exhibition, performance space, screening room, and ritual space, The Taste of Water takes cues from water’s characteristics – flowing, shape-shifting, non-linear – appearing as a medium and signifier, in the shape of sensorial sculpture, sound installation, video work and text interventions. Like the gravitational phenomena of rising and falling of tides, at times, the currents meet or diverge, forming a venue for non-consensual collaboration, swimming in mud, a place of sharing rituals, and olfactory witchcraft.

WITCH TALKS: Angela Anderson & Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic* in conversation with Nina Tabassomi
In a conversation, the artists Angela Anderson and Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic* and curator Nina Tabassomi will discuss their installation Witch's Kitchen (the witch rarely appears in the history of the proletariat), an expansive installation featuring a two-channel video work, created specifically for the exhibition. How does the present relate to the historical witch hunt? Where specifically do the economic and ideological infrastructures of the historical witch-hunts reverberate today? What about present-day rural capitalism, the right to abortion, or the question of property? To whom does what belong? What stories of feminist uprisings exist in Tyrol, and to what extent was the figure of the witch appropriated by them? What forms of commemoration would be adequate to such a sustained act of violence as the historic witch-hunt that until the present has remained trivialized within the official narratives of European history?
WITCHES
Taxis–––palais Kunsthalle Tirol June 26 – October 03, 2021 Opening: June 25, 2021
Angela Anderson & Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic*, Pauline Curnier Jardin, Joachim Koester, Neda Saeedi, Esther Strauß
There are no witches. The insight that the figure of the witch is a social construction may not be new, however, the underlying conditions of this construction remain frighteningly topical. In concert, the church and nation-states of sixteenth and seventeenth century Europe unleashed and executed a violence intended to break “women’s resistance to the spread of capitalist relations,” as Silvia Federici has demonstrated. In the transition to capitalism, women’s power had to be crushed and their bodies, sexuality, and knowledge controlled to ensure they would devote themselves to reproducing the labor force. This reproductive labor was henceforth divorced from wage labor and degraded. Thus, the community of the dominated was not only expropriated, it was also broken in two. The persecution and extermination of “witches” was an instrument for this, and ramifications of this violence extended into the most diverse areas. With several works created especially for the exhibition WITCHES, the artists investigate these ideological and economic infrastructures underlying the historical witch hunt, using installation, video, sculpture, performance, photography, public intervention, and film to ask how these structures continue to reverberate within our present.
June 2021 Solitude Journal 3 - Mutations available online & in print Published by Akademie Schloss Solitude and KfW Stiftung
Mutations are processes with unpredictable consequences: transformation, loss of control and irreversibility, but also diversity, metamorphosis, and hybridity. The challenges facing the world’s population today, first and foremost rapid climate change, can be discussed with the help of the concept of mutations and their various mechanisms. Mutations have the potential to generate a simultaneous mix of unease and optimism, particularly in the context of concomitant social structural change.
For this third edition of the Solitude Journal, the »Mutations« thematic residency fellows acted as editors, offering a place and space for different approaches to the mutations theme. In an effort to expand the western scientific based definition of mutations, the focus of the fellows and invited contributors goes beyond logical systems and seeks to utilize the potential of an inter- and transdisciplinary approach to artistic research in order to critically rethink the concept of mutations and, consequently, life.

MUTATIONS exhibition
Akademie Schloss Solitude
Stuttgart, Germany June 18–August 1, 2021
The exhibition MUTATIONS is the culmination of the nine-month interdisciplinary residency program of the same name at Akademie Schloss Solitude. The exhibition consists of seven individual positions and two collaborations that all engage with the concept of mutations as processes with unpredictable outcomes: transformation, loss of control, and irreversibility, but also diversity, metamorphosis, and hybridity. The exhibition places importance on the varying perspectives and approaches within the group, which take the form of installative, site-specific, and immersive works that span the mediums of multimedia, installation, sound, and video. The works themselves are interventions, spread throughout the Akademie Schloss Solitude area.
The participating artists are: Sabina Hyoju Ahn: media and sound artist (South Korea); Angela Anderson: video artist and researcher (US/Germany); Grayson Earle: new media artist (US/Germany); Ana María Gómez López: artist, writer, and researcher (Colombia/US/The Netherlands); Clara Jo: video artist (Germany); Maxwell Mutanda: multidisciplinary researcher, visual artist, and designer (Zimbabwe); Joana Quiroga: visual artist and philosopher (Brazil).
Mutations is a cooperation between Akademie Schloss Solitude, an international and transdisciplinary artists’ residence based in Stuttgart, and the KfW Stiftung, Frankfurt, an independent nonprofit foundation active in the fields of Responsible Entrepreneurship, Social Commitment, Environment, and Climate as well as Arts & Culture. The Arts & Culture program focuses on intercultural dialogue and artistic production in the global context.
MUtations Lecture series - Academy Schloss solitude Heather Davis: The queer futurity of plastic March 29, 2021 @ 19:00 Berlin time
Her lecture will examine the networks of queer kin that are inadvertently being birthed by the proliferation of plastic. The microorganisms that are appearing as a result of plastic’s proliferation—the new bacteria that have evolved in order to eat plastic—invite a reconfiguring of categories of kin making, not only to extend beyond normative family units, or even to the more-than-human world, but also to these slightly abhorrent technobacterial becomings.
Heather Davis (she/her) is an assistant professor of Culture and Media at The New School. She is the co-editor of Art in the Anthropocene: Encounters Among Aesthetics, Politics, Environmentsand Epistemologies and Desire Change: Contemporary Feminist Art in Canada. Her current book project, Plastic Matter, re-examines materiality in relation to plastic. She is also a member of the Synthetic Collective, an interdisciplinary team of scientists, humanities scholars, and artists, who investigate and make visible plastic pollution in the Great Lakes. Heather Davis was invited to speak by the fellow Angela Anderson.

Cathrin Pichler Preis Exhibition “Ecosexual Time and the Subversive Multiplicity” March 25 - May 15, 2021
“Alongside her three-channel video installation Three and More Ecologies the artist presents her new piece Ecosexual Time and the Subversive Multiplicity, which won the Cathrin Pichler Prize in 2020. The audiovisual lecture is based on Anderson’s explorations of the clash between “work” and “nature”. Through the aesthetic encounter of duration and multiplicity, she offers a conscious counterpoint to our current, increasingly accelerated experience of the world.”
