Preface
Everything is different this year. No customary opening, no exhibition tour on the first weekend, instead a one-week “24/7 marathon camp” with a round-the-clock programme, an overwhelming kick-off. The fact that steirischer herbst is changing markedly, is the result of rapid global change. The revolutions in many Arab countries, the Occupy movements, the massive upheavals and financial disasters in Europe, all together question the role of art. During the many discussions in the course of our research at places where society is now on the move, it soon became clear that artists had played a major role everywhere and from the outset. But it also evolved that the question as to the role of art itself is much more difficult: Whether or not there can and should be an art that not only observes, comments and documents, but also gets practically involved.
Artistic strategies in politics and political strategies in art And so this year’s steirischer herbst sets out in search of artistic strategies in politics and political strategies in art. Visiting the marathon camp are not only some 150 artists, activists, theorists, but also politicians from around the world who are actively and practically involved in political and social issues. For a week, the aim is thus to draw up a subjective map of activist strategies in art: from Antanas Mockus, the mayor of Bogota in the nineties, who used artistic means to trigger fundamental change in his city, to the activists from the Laboratory for Insurrectionary Imagination, who have dedicated themselves to creative protest against climate change. From theorists such as Chantal Mouffe, who has created a theoretical substrate for political action, to radical artists such as the Russian Voina group, some of whom live underground and intentionally perform their art in the realm of illegality. In addition, steirischer herbst is inviting, through a grant programme, one hundred young artists, theorists and activists from around the world to take part in this discussion. The venue for almost 170 hours of non-stop lectures, performances, films, discussion and concerts – with sleep and rest facilities – is being designed by raumlaborberlin, who designed the festival centre at the Joanneum four years ago. This year’s herbst exhibition, that focuses on social change through “Adaptation” – as the title goes – is on show in the rooms of Thalia, Next Liberty and Opernring 7. Spread out around the city, our associates from the visual arts scene in Graz will be presenting their own view of the relationship between art and politics in their exhibitions.
Truth is concrete The leitmotif of this year’s herbst is a quote from Brecht quoting Lenin quoting Hegel: it serves to look for the concrete in art, for a definition of truth that, while complex and not final, in every case nevertheless enables concrete action. Our search will also continue after the marathon camp: “Rebranding European Muslims” is the title of Israeli artist group Public Movement’s campaign for a different European culture, that kicks off with a big gala in Graz. Through their work, Moscow’s Teatr.doc shows what the public is deliberately kept from knowing, Lebanese Rabih Mroué and Linah Saneh wonder why there is no Arab Spring in their home country, Young Jean Lee from New York takes a look at feminism in America and legendary Mexican theatre-maker Gómez-Peña exorcises capitalism with his distinctive language. steirischer herbst 2012 rounds off by building a bridge between the former Cultural Capital Graz and the current Cultural Capital Maribor: On a big evening at the end of the festival, the composer and director Heiner Goebbels leads us, with 40 young female singers from the Vocal Theatre Carmina Slovenica, through the ups and downs of growing up. One thing is clear even now: this is going to be another unusual, challenging herbst. I look forward to enjoying it with you.

A 24/7 marathon camp on artistic strategies in politics and political strategies in art
“Art is a left-wing hobby.” (Geert Wilders) The world is changing too quickly for us to keep up: the rise of the populist right, massive financial cutbacks that threaten the entire European project, structural destruction of education and culture, democratic uprisings, Islamic and Christian fundamentalism, environmental disasters – where to start, where to end? But what role does art play in this whirlwind of events, that we can hardly even follow, let alone understand? We have learned that there are no longer any easy answers. We do not trust ideologies, but we follow the ideology of capitalism. We know that everything is contingent and relative. We replace criticism with criticality, politics with the post-political, modernism with post-modernism and capitalism with added value. But when the answers get too complicated, the need for easy solutions begins to grow. And we – perhaps left-wing hobbyists after all – seem to have lost touch with a broader base. So what’s to be done? Must art help solve those problems that politics and society have ignored for so long? Should art be a social or political tool, can it be useful? “Truth is concrete” was written in big letters above Bertolt Brecht’s desk when in Danish exile – quoting Lenin quoting Hegel quoting Augustine. We use the possibility of concrete truth as a working hypothesis, to search for direct action, concrete change and knowledge. For an art that interferes in specific political and social contexts and for an activism that seeks to find intelligent, creative means of self-empowerment. “Truth is concrete” is a 24/7 marathon camp: around 150 artists, activists and scientists will lecture, perform, play, produce, debate and collect artistic strategies in politics and political strategies in art. Day and night. As part of a grant programme, we will also be inviting some 100 young students, artists, activists and theorists

from all over the globe. “Truth is concrete” is a platform and a toolbox as much as a performative statement; an extreme effort at a time that seems to call for extreme efforts. The camp is a temporary habitat: here the sleep areas, there the herbst exhibition, over there the kitchen and next to it the bookshop. The video library alongside the hairdresser’s. Camp radio, speech karaoke, plenum. Open all the time and for everyone, day and night. Some stay throughout, but everyone is invited to drop by any time: for a particular lecture, for an hour or so, perhaps another hour, for a discussion, a performance, a concert, a film – the doors are always open, as long as there is room.

The Mobile Archive Video library
The Mobile Archive of the Israeli Center for Digital Art in Holon is a nomadic, ever-growing video library that has been on tour since 2001. The films – mostly from the Middle East, the Balkans and Eastern Europe – focus on questions of identity, ethnicity, nationalism and hidden power structures. Every host adds their own selection of videos, before the collection moves on. The Mobile Archive is freely accessible and usable throughout steirischer herbst. The Archive-Cinema will be forging its own links to the leitmotif of the festival with the aid of selected films.

Naturally we do our utmost to act as politically and ethically correct as possible. To pay fair fees, not to harm the environment, to work sustainably, to create an awareness of the evils of the world. But then along comes pragmatism. There is a lack of money and time. And sometimes simply patience. This blogic is an attempt to question the everyday business of the m festival. Where possible, to change things for the better, but also to take a fresh look at one’s own values, to be honest. The steirischer herbst team examines the various aspects of its own work: travel, fees, advertising, everyday tasks, … urban spac 0%

Marginal Notes
How to talk about what’s important
Reports, reflections, diaries
This year, the herbst’s annual Mar ginal Notes blog focuses on the marathon camp – four artists, auth ors and activists record events in their corner of the world. They form ulate fleeting thoughts – topical today and stale tomorrow. They observe themselves and others, negotiate public and private affai rs. They record and invent, think up stories and reflect on reality. They already began their notes in May, and have been constantly adding new notes and will be condensing them during the festival, when all four will be in Graz for one week each – thus creating a parallel prehistory and literary continuation of steirischer herbst.

The Kominas live the paradox of an Islamic punk rock band and are a prominent part of the so called “Islamic Punk” movement. Whether in Tahrir Square or in Graz, their Clash-style sound combines punk with Asian beats and provocative titles such as “Sharia Law in the USA” and “Suicide Bomb the Gap”.

The old is no more, the new not yet tangible: the forty young singers of the world-touring Slovene choir Carmina Slovenica – all between ten and twenty years old – confront us energetically with stories 22 raz and questions concerning the farewell to childhood. Between sovereignity and dependency, their games only appear harmless. In the texts ranging from Joseph Eichendorff to Marina Abramović, they are constantly testing their own position and adjusting the balance of power amongst themselves and in relation to us, the audience. esignlives The new piece by Heiner Goebbels examines the upheavalhin ic dthe p of the young women in exciting pictures, that are also perspectives of the massive social and political upheaval in the region from which they and the musical culture of their choir hail. Following the changing seasons, Heiner Goebbels weaves the choral music of this renowned choir from Graz’s neighbouring city Maribor, that is this year’s European Capital of Culture, with partisan songs from Tito’s 32 % w a era, classical and pop music and his own compositions, to create h nd grand evening of music theatre.

bookends, which will also be put to the test. A collection of material put together by everyone will be constantly adapted, with groups arranging and rearranging themselves, anew creating joint and separate output. “Adaptation” creates an open space within the institutional art system, both for the artists and curators taking part and for visitors, who become co-authors. For the freedom of a slim 3 2 stri instrument adaptation is the self-empowering for the unsatisfied mu reader, recipient and spectator, to generate his or her own usable, useful meanings and connections. Like the famous “Merzbau” housing installations, the exhibition will always remain a suggestion, a snapshot, a changing art space and habitat in which utopian rules are adapted for the specific situation, time and place. And in which the art works remain independent, while at the same time forming part of a joint effort.

The question as to the relationship between art and politics is not only directed towards the outside. It also addresses the tecture 3 therefore, the Praguert institution itself and its curatorialchipractice: 25 nce based exhibition-makers Zbyněk Baladrán and Vit Havránek see themselves more as inviters in this project: in a communal process, they not only develop the form, but also the main topic of “Adaptation” together with the artists – a laboratory for new paradigms, structures, hierarchies and forms of collaboration rather than an exhibition, a collective process that begins long before the opening and that will continue longoafter it has ended. tr nic 38 rt 25 Alternative models of society andec collaboration are the thematic nce

Is everyday Islamophobia in Europe normal? Or the fact that the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik can draw on numerous quotes of renowned politicians, journalists and theorists in his manifesto?

In recent years, Roma-artists have increasingly been dealing with discrimination against and the image of their culture and ethnic identity projected by others. Between art and activism, they focus on the exclusion and violence which Roma have faced for centuries. A difficult and brave path, one significant aspect of which is to explore the manifold cultural identities. The exhibition provides an overview of visual techniques and activist practices in Roma art that are used to unmask the mechanisms of violence and discrimination.

Series of electronic music concerts
Curated by Heike Schleper (D)
Electroacoustic music has the reputation of being rooted in purely sonic materiality and trying to evade concrete, social codes at all cost. But as such, it ignores its sociocultural context and throws away its potential of critical participation. But the days of innocence are over: at first glance, Terre Thaemlitz’s and Franz Pomassl’s music is not l’art pour l’art, but very direct and involved.
Terre Thaemlitz (J/USA) Tue 02/10, 9.30 pm Camp: Living room
”No Sound Is Innocent“, Eddie Prévost once titled a book, giving the musician, the material, the performance and the audience a hint of their critical discursive potency. Terre Thaemlitz, the musician, author, intellectual and owner of the comatonse recordings label who lives in Japan, also sees himself as a critical propagator of queer, popular and uncompromising music as a discourse, always insisting on a concept of artistic practice as critical intervention.

Franz Pomassl’s music breathes not discourse, but provocation and revolt. The Viennese pioneer of electronica and co-founder of the Laton label creates arrangements of great force and radical intensity between energetic noise and rhythmic improvisation. Probingly, he dodges technical parameters and simply negates any purported limits of human perception. The performances of this enfant terrible of the electro scene are legendary. And loud.
musikprotokoll An enharmonic change
Sounds rouse us to change the world and to perceive the world in a different way. But the meaning of the world, the meaning of a sound may change without the sound itself changing. The truth of the sound is not absolute – and the twentieth century took advantage of this fact not only by means of a veritably explosive increase in possibilities of sound, but also in the possible meanings of every single sound. The apex of this refinement is constituted by pieces of music that use only a singly produced sound (or, in radical cases, no sound at all), whose meaning, however, constantly changes by means of repetition. So what sounds are still symbols, and thus instructions on how to act today? Instructions for what, in what context and under what social circumstances? A world as sound between iconic commercial sound logos and private ringtones, instrumental avantgarde, abstract electronica, sound design and pop songs. Why and how does the selfsame sound work and function in different contexts as a symbol of different meanings? What effect can music have under these conditions? What produces the pictorial quality of sounds and thus their reference to the world? And how does music take advantage of this relationship?

Thomas Lehn plays synthesizer in a wide range of contemporary music contexts. Jérôme Noetinger plays with tape recorders and their materiality. Daniel Lercher plays with microphones, transducers and feedback as well as his own analog material. Together as a trio, they play with the balance of musical noises as a productive, ambivalent blend of noise, sound and music. ronic 38 ect

What utopias do you suppose exist in the homeland of the little ponies from the cartoon series “My Little Pony – Friendship is Magic”? In any case it’s no huge leap from the ponies’ images of the body and society to current protest groups on the world wide web: the Pony Rainbow Dash has already become a symbol of the Austrian Anonymous activists. And besides little girls, it is predominantly men from fifteen to thirty-five who are fascinated by these cute animals. Is that just nerddom or is it already anarchy? What does it mean when a winged cartoon pony supersedes the grand left-wing symbols of the nineteenth and twentieth century? Has it become less important to position oneself emphatically or ironically, is it more and more a matter of taking things apart and overdrawing them together? Or is it simply how some bronies – as the male fans of the pink and pale blue foals refer to themselves – put it: That it’s just a better hobby than terrorism? We will see!

This is already the seventh issue of “herbst. Theorie zur Praxis”, a publication that accompanies the festival: it is not a programme n ih bitio 30book with the task micof explaining the various works, exhibitions and projects featuring at steirischer herbst. And yet it does provide a close-up: through authors involved in the festival, through portraits and artist contributions, through theory that examines the central leitmotif of artistic strategies in politics and political strategies in art, through diverse essays, reports, series of pictures … “herbst. Theorie zur Praxis” is not a programme book, but a standalone festival project. 13 30 % c s usi say apping %m

Das hermetische Eremitentum. Das stimmt so alles nicht. So kann, nein, so darf ich das nicht schreiben. Überall sind diese Zweifel, getoppt nur noch von der Angst, den Essay „Die Wahrheit ist konkret“ niemals fertigzubekommen. Aber der Text muss fertig werden. Plötzlich das Zerreißen der Manuskripte, das Streichen der Sätze, die Zweifel. Und dann,
Fenster Für Visionäre
urplötzlich der neue Furor, die brennende Hitze, der rastlose Antrieb. Vor mir liegt die konkrete Wahrheit. Ich schaue auf die Straße, auf der ein Sturm die Blätter des Herbstes wie von Sinnen durch die Luft wirbelt. Ich höre nichts, ich spüre keinen Luftzug. Die Welt da draußen, da draußen vor dem Fenster, ist für jeden eine andere.

steirischer herbst is a partner of NXTSTP, an ambitious and long-term project that forms part of the European Union culture programme. Next Step is a network of seven European art festivals, with the aim of fostering the co-production and expansion of the performing arts in Europe. NXTSTP wants to provide impetus to performing artists on the verge of an international breakthrough, by creating access to major theatres and making tours of Europe easier, thus attracting and appealing to new audiences. One example can be seen at steirischer herbst 2012 through the work of Doris Uhlich (A). NXTSTP partners: Alkantara (Lisbon), Baltoscandal (Tallinn), Gรถteborgs Dans & Teater Festival, De Inter-nationale Keuze (Rotterdam), Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels), Mira (Bordeaux), steirischer herbst (Graz)

Hunger for art and culture (Hunger auf Kunst und Kultur) People in financial difficulty have just as much right to art and culture. “Hunger for Art and Culture” benefits everyone who wants to take part in cultural life but who cannot afford to. Proceeds from sales of herbst chocolate from the Schokoladen Manufaktur Zotter at the advance booking and box offices will be used to fund tickets that may be obtained free of charge by presenting a “Culture Pass”. Please support this project!

Education
Theatre / performance / dance
Discussions between you and the participating artists, curators and other people involved are important to us: we therefore offer introductions, workshops, artist discussions, guided tours and discussion forums, to create space for questions and criticism, for an active examination of the projects and productions at steirischer herbst. Our aim is to involve as many different sections of the public as possible in all genres of the festival.
Talks Following selected performances, we invite you – together with the dramaturgical team of steirischer herbst – to discuss, with the participating artists, their work.
Further education & herbst weekend specials steirischer herbst warmly welcomes all scholarship holders, students, clubs or companies to a busy art and culture weekend in Graz and will help you put together a programme and organise meetings and discussions with artists and curators. We will do our best to cater for your individual requirements. For details on all programmes, please refer to our public programme brochure (in German language), that is available free of charge on request.

Theatre education programmes & dress rehearsals If requested in good time, we will be pleased to organise special introductions for groups before the performances. It is also possible to attend dress rehearsals for selected productions. In addition, we offer theatre education programmes that focus specifically on the aesthetic devices of theatre and the content of the various productions.
Exhibitions Guided tours On three Sundays, the KUNST.WERK association offers an alternating programme of guided tours of the festival exhibitions. See p. 27 For the “Adaptation” exhibition, in addition to the scheduled guided tours (see p. 21), groups can also book guided tours and discussions specially put together for specific age groups and interests. Participation is a free service of steirischer herbst. No registration required.
Film “Who can still change course?“ Our special film programme for young school groups takes a look at documentary films dealing with social and political action in the everyday world of children and teenagers and explores socio-political principles of inclusion and exclusion in the everyday worlds of young people. Between representation and intervention, the films give insights into the heterogeneous scopes for action, while at the same examining the action of the documentary practice that describes them. With films by Fabio Caramaschi (I), Ventura Durall (E), Susan Gordanshekan (D), Lucian Busse (D), Angeliki Andrikopoulou / Argyris Tsepelikas (GR), Anselm Belser (D), Orlando von Einsiedel (GB), Charlotta Copcutt / Anna Klara Åhrén / Anna Weitz (S), Kyne Uhlig / Nikolaus Hillebrand (D) & Virgil Vernier (F). Curated by Gudrun Sommer (D). With presentations by Stephanie Lang (A), Petra Erdmann (A) and Roman Fasching (A). Please refer to the education brochure for the detailed programme. In co-operation with doxs! Duisburger Filmwoche & Goethe Institute Munich
dox & shorts – Festival films on tour in Styria “dox & shorts” is a hosted film education programme for young people that is screening in co-operation between doxs! and the Diagonale film festival from Monday 15/10 to Friday 19/10 in eastern Styria. In special cinema screenings, this is a media education programme for schools that discusses the content of the films and the film medium. Archive-Cinema Introductions and discussions are available for the various films. See p. 9
Music Together with the organisers of musikprotokoll, we offer introductions to programmes and ageappropriate discussions.
Camp / architecture We are happy to organise discussions and tours for groups of all ages and interests, through the camp, this year‘s festival centre.
