Nach der Sprache
The long-standing cooperation between the Kunstverein Baden and AIR – Artist in Residence Niederösterreich is being continued this year, kicking off the exhibition season 2024: Nach der Sprache presents a selection of works that Katja Windau developed as a guest artist in Krems over the past year. Her works enter into a dialog with a site-specific installation by Fanni Futterknecht.
Who has space in our society? Which voices are (not) heard? And how can we transform existing conditions? Both artists are equally concerned with these questions. They reveal power structures and value systems within our society, address social control mechanisms and the appropriation of space. In doing so, they encourage the audience to take a stand and rethink their own attitudes.
is particularly interested in social contexts in which structures shaped by power apparatuses or sexualized structures are revealed. In her work, she uses different media such as sculpture, installation and performance and likes to operate between the different genres.
