Frida Kahlo - PAINting
31. August 2010, 16:58:30 unter Artrooms, Austria, Bank Austria Kunstforum, English, Exhibitions, German, Interviews, Museums, Podcasts, Portraits, Video, ViennaFrida Kahlo’s work oscillates between self stylizing and radical authenticity, relentlessly facing the question of her female identity and at the same time touching the search for identity of an entire nation.
Kahlo’s Retrospektive can be seen at the Bank Austria Kunstforum from 9.09.2010 till 5.12.2010.
| computer & iPod | send feedback When André Breton, during a visit to Mexico in 1938, thought having discovered the surrealist counterpart to the European avant-garde of his time in Frida Kahlo’s work, she briskly deemed her own painting anything but an escape. “I never painted dreams. What I painted was my reality.” To this, the Mexican writer Carlos Fuentes stated in one of his essays: “Frida Kahlo reminds us permanently that the matter used by the French surrealists to make a system was always everyday reality in Latin America, part of the cultural stream, a spontaneous fusion of myth and actuality, dream and waking, reason and fantasy.” more »

| computer & iPod | send feedback Among its many branches within the insurance field, UNIQA is active within the the art insurance sector. Dealing with art institutions as well as private collectors requires the insurer to secure value, promote culture, and bring people together. The enterprise is therefore not just limited to providing insurance benefits, it also offers knowledge, contacts, and support, in order to make it possible for art and the art world to develop. We at CastYourArt have found in UNIQA a business partner whose commitment has made a number of our podcast episodes possible. In the following episode, we spoke with Konstantin Klien, CEO of UNIQA, and Petra Eibel, the director of art insurance department at UNIQA, two important representatives of the UNIQA art sector, in order to get their views on their company’s position, philosophy, services, and identity.

But there is more to it… Interview with Georg Schöllhammer, curator, author, editor of Springerin.
| computer & iPod | send feedback The art collection of the Erste Bank group focuses on contemporary art of Central and Eastern Europe, at which media like film and video were included from the beginning. Due to a lack of structures to back up production and networking, in the post-socialist states there was less exchange between the artists than there was with the international art world. more »
Edgar Honetschläger - To the Limits
6. July 2010, 17:25:33 unter English, Japan, Podcasts, Portraits, Tokyo, VideoEdgar Honetschläger tests the boundaries of the possible, always along the limit in order to question the existing standard, the process being as important as the results.
| computer & iPod | send feedback Vain is the attempt to classify this corpus of ideas into orderly progressions, straight lines, fixed positions, separate stages. Edgar Honetschläger’s work and life do not allow for that. He moves between cultures and working techniques and operates with the diversity and inconsistency of a globalized world. more »

| computer & iPod | send feedback “I like not your festivals: I have found there too many actors, and the spectators also often behaved like actors” (Nietzsche, Zarathustra)
As social beings we are forced to restrain ourselves and to civilize our behaviour. Education means for the most part to accustom ourselves to the social space designed to optimize productivity. During this individual and collective effort to adapt, parts of us that are not suitable for everyday life are being pushed into the background. We establish ethical, moral and aesthetic taboos and channel our tamed wildness through idealized passion. Psychoanalysis calls this process projection. more »
