Projects and Assignments

Saprophyt is a fungus that lives on dead matter. The eponymous space in Vienna lives on artworks once exhibited there and then left for other artists to appropriate. The “Projects and Assignments” show is inspired by David Askevold’s Projects Class from 1969, in which the artist invited other artists to propose an idea to be realized by the class as collaborators.

Projects and Assignments
Once upon a time, in an exhausted era in which nothing could apparently happen. Every exhibition is a small battle in the heat of the culture war. Individual skirmishes both consolidate and undermine constellations of opinions. Their rhythm and harmony is the heartbeat of a warring community. The culture war is both portend and sublimation. It is easy to escape its roar.
