Preface

“Alliances, misalliances and false friends: Liaisons dangereuses”, the leitmotif of this year’s steirischer herbst looks at the nature of dangerous relationship cocktails, of connections which, for all their fragility, are passionate, explosive and always powerful. A “liaison”, from the French perspective, is much more than a flirt or a love affair: it can be applied to connections, relationships and their transformation – in society, art and culture and in both the private sphere and in politics. While one year ago, steirischer herbst focused on the role of art in society-changing moments, we now proceed to look at a number of other questions: what coalitions and compromises are entered into in order to carry through visions and goals? What relations of dependence open up? What scales and disparities are reflected in old boy networks, “forced marriages” of all kinds? What if the line between coalition and corruption gets thinner and thinner? And, in the end, what are the constellations in which we could finally make headway? As always, it is more the questions than the answers that move us. And, as always, these questions will feature recurrently in the steirischer herbst programme – playful, direct – and often associative. This year’s herbst exhibition, for example, curated by Katarina Gregos and Luigi Fassi, examines the changing relationships of a finance industry that take place in virtual space to those real relationships which – committed only to maximum profit and not to the public good – it defines so tangibly and profoundly. Within this context, the conference provides a framework for reflection in which to explore dependencies in politics, the finance industry and society. The festival centre is in a dangerous zone this year: for four weekends we are occupying Ex-Zollamt, the former customs house and the neighbouring Explosiv youth cultural centre. The German / French landscape architect team atelier be balto is transforming what was once the central trans-shipment centre near the main railway station into a vibrant centre for numerous artistic events: along with the herbst exhibition “Liquid Assets”, the “Close Link” installation, a host of live concerts, the artists evenings “One Night Stands”, Lisa D.’s open workshop and much more. Connections and selection criteria are also characteristic of the multiple steirischer herbst opening in 2013 – in a wide variety of ways and at many different venues, featuring performance, visual art and architecture: while the artist Kris Verdonck presents his vision of the universe envisaged by Daniil Charms (Harms), a poet who countered Stalin’s regime of terror within an absurd and poetic world, the choreographer Anne Juren will be premièring her interpretation of Kafka’s “Amerika” and Martin Kippenberger’s America installation.

You’ll come across them again and again and everywhere – these liaisons in and on this year’s leitmotif: for example in Andreas Siekmann’s pictograms, that define the visual image of the festival, at musikprotokoll, that showcases the diverse reference systems in which contemporary music is produced and heard today. Or in visual art – for instance at Grazer Kunstverein, that is focusing on the abstraction of social relationships, at Kunsthaus Graz, that is embarking on new paths of curatorship with the African artist Romuald Hazoumé, while Camera Austria investigates to what extent political questions can be transferred to the institutional framework of art. Or at the < rotor > exhibition, reflecting on a wide range of measures intended to save the world. Or at the Pavelhaus, where curator Adele Eisenstein examines the tense relationship between Hungarian artists and the Orbán government in the context of resistance to the communist regime. Performances include a plethora of (world) premières focusing, among other things, once again on the connection to rural surroundings, thus setting artistic accents at specific points around Styria. While Robert Steijn and Frans Poelstra get up to their theatrical mischief in the woods of Peggau, celebrating nature in song, Theater im Bahnhof joins Gaststubentheater Gößnitz to stage Hans Lebert’s novel “Die Wolfshaut”, with the performance touring various country pubs around Styria. Very different to Ann Liv Young, who offers curative “Sherrapies” to people seeking help as she travels in her truck around Styria and Swiss Boris Nikitin who examines the relationships in elective communities and self-help groups. The transformation and violation of the body in fitness studios based on the career of Arnold Schwarzenegger is the topic of a piece commissioned to Swiss theatre-maker Massimo Furlan. Parallel to this, Antonia Baehr explores the transformation of the human being into an animal in her solo performance. A project realised exclusively by the participation of one hundred Styrians is “Las Multitudes” by Federico León, who develops a theatrical metaphor on the coexistence of different generations at the Helmut-List-Halle. Once again the programme has turned out to be rich and varied and we would be delighted if it tempts you to engage in an enjoyable liaison dangereuse with steirischer herbst lasting more than three weeks.

Special times call for special formats and this year’s steirischer herbst opening breaks all bounds, annexing different venues around the city for more than ten hours and even breaking completely new ground in the evening. You can join in the opening tour in the afternoon when Kris Verdonck’s disturbing language and machine theatre, based on the writings of the Russian author Daniil Charms (Harms), premières at the HelmutList-Halle. Who decides to attend the afternoon performance, has it easier in the evening, with two premières – Anne Juren’s choreography on Kafka’s and Kippenberger’s “America” and Amund Sjølie Sveen’s performance crash course “Economic Theory for Dummies” in public finance – in addition to another showing of “H, an incident”. The herbst exhibition “Liquid Assets” opens in between and focuses on the mysteries and the shady sides of virtualised global cash flows. Later in the evening, steirischer herbst invites everyone to the big opening reception followed by a concert of the fantastic Tanzanian band Jagwa Music at this year’s festival zone around the former customs house and Explosiv near the railway station. As things are coming thick and fast, plan ahead to make sure you’re in the front row.

Ex-Zollamt

Festival centre at the former customs house and Explosiv youth cultural centre

After the revolution comes reorientation, upheaval is followed by times in which future conditions are renegotiated. These are fragile moments that decide whether an agreement is reached and whether new orders come about. Until then, the outcome remains dangerously in the balance. The terrain is unclear and the exception is the rule. The steirischer herbst festival centre is also more a zone in motion than a rigid centre this year, flexibly adjoining Ex-Zollamt, the site of the former customs house in Bahnhofgürtel. An area, neither truly periphery nor centre, that reminds us of times when the globalisation of markets was not so limitless and circumstances more visibly limited. The Explosiv youth cultural centre marks one side of the range of choices in this zone, with a night-spot, concerts and Sunday cinema. Ex-Zollamt marks another: the installation “Close Link” allows visitors to experience intimate, usually hidden relationship systems by using their senses, the herbst exhibition “Liquid Assets” artistically illuminates the opacities of global cash flows, while the great hall serves as a daytime café and herbst Bar, the scene of unpredictable “One Night Stands” and a Sunday crossing-point and meeting-place for alternative trade channels. The landscape architects from atelier le balto, who designed the gardens of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris and the Berlin Kunst-Werke, have arranged a group of strangely floating houses over the whole area between Explosiv and Ex-Zollamt, over the courtyard and garden. At night they light up, reminiscent of fragile summer-houses or greenhouses, forging links to the history of the site and creating places that oscillate between inside and out, public and private, transparent and hidden.

The installation “Close Link” by hoelb / hoeb focuses on the extraordinary relationship systems and extreme situations that arise when people find themselves in isolated states of consciousness due to illness. Barbara Hoelbling and Mario Hoeber use an experimental artistic set-up to explore spaces and everyday activities that characterise close relationships to persistent vegetative state patients, to people living with a mental or physical impairment, or to dementia sufferers, demonstrating one’s own feelings rather than those of others. “Close Link” confronts visitors with their own very personal, unexplored relationships, in addition it asks pressing questions regarding the disposition of society: what do we 34 %current exchange repress?

We are surrounded by objects whose manner of functioning and form are beyond our control. Their machine-polished surfaces blind us with an image of perfection that brooks no unauthorised change. The open workshop encourages people to chip away at this image – in the field of clothes and other textile objects – and to take things into their own hands. The best time for this is when ion litics 2 ology holes, things fail: ncracks, stains, but salso 3 tract when something becomes opo unwearable this can be used as an opportunity to regain power.

Millennium & Barbara Morgenstern Millennium, a band as a project, or rather a start-up and connected with it, a deliberate game of contrasts. Visually designed in a sobersmooth Microsoft WordArt look, Norman Palm, the singer and Ville Haimala from Renaissance Man are already in a new dimension of the electropop heavens with their music. Long melody arcs, cool keyboard sounds and beats that merge into a minimalist-harmonic work. That’s the new sound of the Berlinbased musician Barbara Morgenstern, who is presenting her current album “Sweet Silence”.

Pascal Pinon & Anna von Hausswolff Twin sisters Jófrídur and Ásthildur have named themselves after the Mexican Pascal Pinon who exhibited his two heads a hundred years ago. The unity of the two, the harmony, can be felt in all of their folky-indie pop miniatures: the charm of Icelandic home recording coated with a sheen of soft melodies. The church organ plays a key role on Anna von Hausswolff’s latest album “Ceremony”, in which she creates a pop oratory that combines heavenly sounds with crystal clear, expressive vocals. The young Swede’s music is mysterious, hymnic and powerful, somewhere between this world and the next.

Actors who look like they’ve just stepped out of a cartoon, an orchestra made up of robotic instruments of such technically ingenious design l 39 % tr ma as to be fully-fledged members of the ensemble: an Icelandic women’s choir populates the stage designed by the Belgian theatre-maker and visual artist Kris Verdonck whose work is based on the writings of the Russian author Daniil Charms (Harms) (1905–1942). A masterly language and machine theatre, menacing and yet trapped in a seemingly childlike fantasy. And perhaps that is why it is so close to Charms who, against the background of Stalinism, was an inimitable expert in combining the description of harsh and ogy social 3 nol protagonists political reality with the lightest, absurd gesture. His fall out of windows, dissolve into nothing, suddenly get beset by the mob, vanish without a trace or die. But the way they do all of this in his short texts and plays can cause fits of laughter. Personally, Daniil Charms paid dearly for his writings, getting arrested several times under Stalin and finally starving to death in a lunatic asylum. Kris Verdonck has made reference to works of literature before – for orld e wof the27theatreexample to Franz Kafka (“K, a society”) or to writings maker Heiner Müller (“M, a reflection”). But “H, an incident” is his first piece of music theatre. What interests him about Charms is the relationship of the individual to the group and to society and how this relationship has changed within conditions of increased social and technological control. He is accompanied by a group of robotics researchers, the Icelandic choreographer Erna Ómarsdóttir, 44 % the musician Valdimar Jóhannsson – who together with c Ómarsdóttir e usi is also responsible for the dark metal project Lazyblood – and the composer Jónas Sen, who has worked with Björk. 44 % m erg

Anne Juren (AT/FR)

Happy End A choreography on the installation of the novel “The Happy End of Franz Kafka’s ‘Amerika’”, the last big installation created by the artist Martin Kippenberger before his death, is the starting point of the piece by Anne Juren, co-founder of Wiener Tanz- und Kunstbewegung, in which she explores such topics as yearning and failure along with the question as to the conditions to which artistic work is subject today. Kippenberger’s installation claims to have a Happy End for Kafka’s incomplete novel “Amerika”, which deals with the sixteen-year-old Karl Rossmann who is sent by his parents to America after being seduced by a maid who is now expecting his child. After a number of existentialist experiences, Karl finally ends up in the Nature Theatre of Oklahoma, with belonging and rejection being recurrent themes along this journey. Experiences with which Kippenberger was probably familiar and which are reflected in his oeuvre. Fascinated by, but at the same time developing a sceptical relationship to the biographies, successes and failures of these men who wrote literary and art history, Juren and four other dancers set out to lend something like physical presence to the novel of Kafka’s text and Kippenberger’s work in a choreographical manner. A piece that oscillates between rumours and facts, familiar and new territory and that – despite the general mood of crisis – soberly adheres to the belief that the uncontrollable can ultimately be controlled. Produced by Wiener Tanz- und Kunstbewegung Co-produced by steirischer herbst, HAU Hebbel am Ufer (Berlin), Tanzquartier Wien & tanzhaus nrw (Düsseldorf) Supported by the NATIONALES PERFORMANCE NETZ (NPN) International Guest Performance Fund for Dance, which is funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media on the basis of a decision by the German Bundestag Supported by Kulturabteilung der Stadt Wien

In times of the global financial crisis, when old answers no longer 22 % need to suffice to describe the world, a let22alone set it right, we may yri reformulate the questions. Or perhaps not leave the answers to the alleged experts. There are in any case very fundamental questions that need to be asked anew. Questions that cut to the core of what we really take for granted: why does money exist in the world? Who needs loans, who needs banks? Why is growth important? Is human nature really made for the liberal market economy? And % co ts 35 %that are not already20ideologically can economists provide answers e den misshapen? So many imponderables, so few reliable solutions. For all those who have come to mistrust professional expertise on this matter, Amund Sjølie Sveen is holding a crash course in economy at steirischer herbst. So that in future we can try to find questions and answers ourselves. With the aid of his entertaining and informative ber made important chamhas re 27 performance lectures, Sveen der eat contributions to people’s education on several occasions in the past.

“Nature is simple, Nature is you.” Forests were once places full of magic and wild energy. Temples of the gods in which the marriage of hunter and animal was once fulfilled in ancient times. A playground of lascivious fauns, desperate nymphs and mysterious unicorns. Little is left of all that today. We take our bodies for a walk in the forest to get our fill of fresh air, not to face our innermost demons. And yet at times we do yearn for a more primeval connection with nature. From where does this longing come? Whence, for that matter, this estrangement?

Massimo Furlan (CH)

Gym Club

It’s usually very simple scenes and pictures from his own childhood that inspire Italian-Swiss Massimo Furlan’s works: the poster of a singer hanging on the wall of his sister’s room; looking forward to the Eurovision Song Contest in the seventies, or the memory of playing football alone in his room as a child while an Italian Series A match was playing on the radio. Furlan uses this as an example, to develop his legendary football theatre, in which he re-enacts historical matches in minute detail – step by step, gesture by gesture. It is long shots like these, shots that take time, which Furlan finds for his memories to stage in very special places. In football stadiums, at the airport, sometimes in the theatre too. In this way personal anecdotes become narratives that touch the collective memory of the viewers and, in so doing, evoke something like a community of memory. For “Gym Club” Furlan now sets out on the trail of another sporting icon from his childhood. Furlan takes Arnold Schwarzenegger’s career, which started out in a weight room in the cellar of the Liebenauer Stadium in Graz, as the background for his study of the culture of bodybuilding. To him, rather than weightlifting, bodybuilding is about body work, bodily transformation, whose true aim is an aesthetic one. The contests are not about demonstrating physical strength, but beauty, a choreography of muscles and bodies trained to perfection. The scene in “Gym Club”: a going-away party at a fitness club, funfair atmosphere, a burlesque situation. The members have come to celebrate a man who will make it further than all of them on his road to becoming a star. The feverish hunt for beauty and power lies ahead of him. A boundless dream.

It may seem obvious to consider the startling resemblances, the ogy disturbing correspondences between animals and if 3 nol humans your surname happens to be Baehr and you happen to be born in “Ber-lin” – official heraldic animal: brown bear, unofficial heraldic animal: Knut the polar bear. Do these similarities mean something? Like signs of the zodiac can mean something, even if we do not believe in them. If it comes to that, from where does our deep interest come in the anthropomorphic depiction of animals in art and literature, in baroque drawings and copperplate orldengravings, 27 ew in animal fables? Or the delight in their symbolic interpretation, as in mediaeval bestiaries? In her alphabet of affinities, Antonia Baehr is interested not in fathoming a mystery possibly concealed behind these similarities, but rather in the realm of fantasy, projections and coincidence that may be demonstrated by them. Similar to her solo “Laugh”, that was a resounding success at steirischer herbst in 2009, Antonia Baehr c 44 % efor her. has once again invited artist friends to write compositions usi This time she has asked them to choose an extinct animal with which they feel an affinity and to bring it back to life by means of scores which have to reflect their friendship with the choreographer metaphorically. In Baehr’s evocative “Abecedarium Bestiarium”, D, for example, stands for the dodo, beautiful but flightless and last sighted in the Indian Ocean in the 17th century. S stands for the peace-loving Steller’s sea cow, the last specimen of which was beaten to death near Bering Island in 1768. “The correspondences found therein are disturbing; they undermine categories such as human and animal, man and woman, past and present, dead and alive. They open the door to mad affinities.“ (Gertrude Ferrant)

Two directors undertake the ambitious plan to stage Hans Lebert’s novel “Die Wolfshaut” – not exactly easy-going – with the local ics 2 company in theituwestern amateur Styrian town of Gößnitz. tion littheatre opo st In his book, Lebert, who has been rediscovered as often as he has been forgotten in recent decades, describes how the inhabitants of a fictitious mountain village called Schweigen conspire against the sailor Johann Unfreund, who returns seven years after the end of Nazi rule to discover some dark secrets. For Elfriede Jelinek, “Die Wolfshaut” is the “first radically modern novel of Austrian post-war literature”. 32 % 15 The undertaking of the two directors turns out to be more difficult und und than they had envisaged, the two women’s artistic ambitions collide with the reality of life in Gößnitz. The upshot of the project is not much more than a few roughly sketched scenes and a few mobile phone videos and photos of the rehearsals. The plan has come to nothing.

“The deepest urge in human nature is the desire to be important.” This aphorism of the American philosopher John Dewey forms the ution stit Carnegie’s book “How to Win Friends and Influence basis for Dale People” (1936), a classic of motivational literature. Carnegie observes that communication and community and consequently professional advancement, can only succeed by satisfying this need. By honestly being interested in others, listening carefully and occasionally favouring them with a smile. Based upon this principle are most forms of peer groups and cliques, 32 % elective communities and self-help groups, which are becoming und increasingly important the faster traditional forms of collective meaning dissolve into nothing. “Be yourself!” was yesterday’s mantra, whereas self-fulfilment 2.0 is socially rooted. Recently, in “Bartleby oder Sicherheit ist ein Gefühl” at the Schauspielhaus in Graz, Swiss theatre-maker Boris Nikitin examined the resistance of the individual and set out in search of God, with cecommunity 37 the Mormon at Theater Freiburg. In his latest piece, a dan co-production of steirischer herbst and Schauspielhaus Graz, he calls for communal radicalisation in view of the paradigm shift. “We have the unique opportunity to reprogramme ourselves and radically to let go of our lives, as we have led them up to this point – including our visions of the future”, says Nikitin. “The final belief is to believe in a fiction. We must empower ourselves.” istling wh

Ann Liv Young (US)

Sleeping Beauty (1–4) & Sherry Truck There are not many roles that Ann Liv Young hasn’t tried her hand at on stage as a performer. While it’s not always explicit, sometimes it is. Including sex with fellow performers. She also likes to involve the audience in her works, which she sets with relish somewhere between prose and provocation, pop and porn. One thing that she does try to avoid is letting the audience feel too comfortable when she goes about delving deep into gender roles and stereotypes. That all changes in the first two parts of her new piece “Sleeping Beauty”, in which Ann Liv Young gently and playfully focuses on a figure from the world of fairy-tales, investigating why Sleeping Beauty comes across as so two-dimensional and passive in conventional stories. It’s not until parts three and four, that are premièring at steirischer herbst, that she steps up the pace, introducing into her ambivalent trashy universe Mary, a completely new persona.

Liquid Assets

In the aftermath of the transformation of capital

Things clear up in retrospect, they say. What was eclipsed by the gravity of events becomes visible later: causes, reasons, connections, culprits. But is that really so? Today, for example, five years after the outbreak of the biggest post-war financial and economic crisis, have we really learned anything? Have we understood the pathologies that can be unleashed by an alliance of democracy and market economy that we learned to see as part of the natural order and without alternative after the fall of the Wall? Have we really understood the financial turn, with all its consequences, its devastating effects for the global economy, but also for democracy and human rights, that dramatic shift from real to finance industry, in which assets, concrete and abstract alike, are created and destroyed in fractions of a second? Do we know how to get out of it again? But then why is no end of the calamity in sight? Why don’t we even draw clear conclusions from the sheer violence that goes hand in hand with finance capitalism? And why – despite all the experts constantly explaining the world to us in talk-shows and at roundtable conferences – do we seem to lack words when we try to put what is happening to us in a nutshell? The international exhibition “Liquid Assets” focuses on these literature and the shady 70 %opacities mysteries, the ineffable and the obscure, the 12 % photos sides of an economic and financial system that no longer can explain 100 % surprise 10 % observation itself. In order to explore the secrets and logics of free-flowing global 8 % moment cash flows with the devices of art, in order perhaps to understand a bit better how money and debt morality can define and deform interpersonal relationships.

Unexpected Encounters “Unexpected Encounters”, building on questions posed in the 2012 project “Art is Concrete”, focuses on the moment after the uprising: its starting point is the occurrence of and return to a normal state of life following upheaval. The collective desire for normality gives rise to new myths of order, institutions, history and identity. A number of initiatives and groups from various countries that underwent revolutions and political / societal upheaval – in some instances dating back twenty years or more – are invited to collaborate with Camera Austria in creating contributions that reflect and explore these phenomena. How can the indiscernible nuances of these political transformations be transmitted into the realm of cultural spaces without reducing them? How can artistic practice serve as a means of translating the complex political, institutional and social resistances into material forms? Co-produced by steirischer herbst & Camera Austria

The discussion-ending argument of neoliberalism whereby there 50 % live rty no alternative may now be regarded as outdated. “There is no 50 % pais alternative” was yesterday. Today the opposite is true: “There are thousands of alternatives!” Of course, this raises other questions: if all paths are open, what course should we follow to overcome the prevailing economic system and its profound crises? Is it better to bring about small changes step by step? Or, in view of the extent of -20 % the global problems, consider radical change instead? One project seems to be a castle in the air, unfeasible, while the other simply follows well-worn tracks and makes too many compromises. On the other hand, major progress often only becomes possible as a result of radical thought! But how many utopias have never even come near to implementation? The artistic contributions to “Saving the World” oscillate between these two poles.

musikprotokoll Venturing into the boundless expanse of conceivable universes of sound, ORF musikprotokoll explores as yet uncharted acoustic territories and life-forms. Parrots, for example. They are the receivers of the sounds created by the alien productions artist collective, in whose “metamusic” project they radically reconceive the relationship between art and nature: animals – not humans – have control of a sound sculpture at this year’s ORF musikptotokoll. Nature and artefact. Human and object. Art and body. Matter and virtual reality. Universe and ephemera. Heaven and earth. musikprotokoll as a fourty-five-year history of liaisons dangereuses. A number of bold first encounters will be orchestrated in 2013 once again including electronic musician and producer Patrick Pulsinger with the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra: along with encounters in Graz of uncertain outcome, when the prize-winning work from the 5th Johann Joseph Fux opera composition competition premières in co-operation with the University of Music as part of musikprotokoll / extended on 12 October: “Asteroid 62” by Dimitri Kourliandskis, a theatrical composition revolving around the idea of metamorphosis. The piece will be performed on the radio, on the Net and in the city of Graz: inside and out, up and down. Roaming the Schloßberg hill, exploring the tunnels below, with robots filling St. Andrä-Kirche with sound. Omnipresence of music. Multicontextuality of music. A theme which musikprotokoll explores together with the European festival network ECAS. But what exactly will happen in the spaceship of musical relationships remains to be seen. After all, contemporary art at musikprotokoll lives in dangerous liaisons.

The Silbadores Part 3

0 %the mythological, Against the background of an examination of phenomenological, aesthetic and political connotations of the voice, the artist Heimo Lattner journeyed with cultural and political scientist Judith Laub to the island of La Gomera in order to study the whistled language Silbo Gomero. Gomeran whistlers use the inherent traits of what they need to overcome to communicate messages in barely passable areas: echo carries their whistles over long distances. Metaphorically, the echo – the “voice” of space and time – inserts itself as a corrective between the two figures of whistle and voice. Their interplay forms the basis of the composition developed in collaboration with Werner Dafeldecker. Commissioned by musikprotokoll Winner project ECAS Call 2012, working period 2 “Bridging”.

When everyday life invades music: eight musicians, eight environmental auditors from Austria and Norway invite visitors to listen very carefully when their instruments join in the orchestra of ambient environmental sounds, improvising freely and focusing on the current auditory experience. This forms the starting point for a series of short concerts on the Schloßberg hill, at different sounding locations. Detached from the context of common performance practice in the concert hall, music becomes amenable to a new experience. The ÖNCZkekvist project gave rise to an active exchange between the Austrian and Norwegian improvisation scene, an exchange that is now boosted by and continued together with the ECAS partner festival Insomnia in Tromsø.

Nights at the Bunker S01E07 La Friseuse Dangereuse

A bunker in Graz. A seemingly random group of people waiting together for the end after the disaster which is not named – or which is given many different names. They tell each other about their lives and, under the impression of the imminent end, they forge alliances, friendships and romances for life. In the end it is either over, or you meet up outside again, pretending that nothing has happened. The Apocalypse as a one-night stand. -20 % “Nights at the Bunker” is a quick mystery series developed by Forum Stadtpark which combines elements of performance with experimental music. In episode 7, selected guests join the core bunker team – British songwriter and artist Guy Dale, Slovenian singer and composer Maja Osojnik and performer and director Katarina Romana Schröter. Working together for four days and nights, they set out to create an evening on the border of paranoia, agony and beauty based on an ongoing mystery script.

Seeking emancipatory alternatives in trembling times

“Age of disaster” is the term applied by cultural philosopher and activist Lieven de Cauter to our disastrous age marked by dramatic conflicts, growing inequality and the dissolution of final certainty. But 68 % in strstart to get out of where to start rescuing when liaisons dangereuses 23 % ele umental ctr nicsociety? hand in all spheres – in politics, in the economy and s 9 % syn oin thesissharing In global finance capitalism, the culture of collective is being er marginalised, with egoism and destruction being the dominant driving forces and desperation and melancholy the consequences for the individual. “Melancholia”, according to the philosopher Giovanni Leghissa, is the final consequence of the impossibility of articulating needs other than economic ones or not being able to distinguish between economy and politics at all. What is wrong with the economy? The ratio economica as the sole, generally accepted meaningful principle makes a utopian project of a society which guarantees human rights and allows everyone to share equitably in social profits. Countering such abstract speculations, the sociologist Erik Olin Wright suggests provocative “Real Utopias” that seek to redesign social institutions fundamentally and specifically: education for all, minimum wages and truly democratic decision-making processes. The conference “Liaisons dangereuses: Seeking emancipatory alternatives in trembling times”, sets out to create a space for community healing, a process of social justice that also allows wishes and hopes (Hector Aristizábal). But on the other hand, phenomena such as colonialism and racism are reappearing with great vehemence, phenomena which Alanna Lockward is reconsidering in order to find alternative strategies of resistance or exit. How can art institutions contribute to restructuring the sociopolitical context? Artists and curators from North Africa and Europe will question the institution as a possible space of liberty and creativity. Following on from last year’s “Truth is concrete – a 24/7 marathon camp on artistic strategies in politics and political strategies in art”, the conference is an attempt by steirischer herbst to set up an international discourse platform for philosophical, artistic and political exchange: to get to the bottom of the disaster and to open up new spaces of liberty and practice. In the form of lectures, roundtables and artist presentations, platform focuses on key topics such as participation in post-revolutionary times and decolonialism along with new politics of organising economy and labour.

herbst Academy Applications and detailed information at www.steirischerherbst.at Deadline for registration: Wed 31/07

This year again, four workshops bring young international artists, theorists and students to Graz during the festival to explore reslationship and their transformation in society, art and culture and to reflect on the art works on show at the festival.

see p. 49 “Liaisons dangereuses”

Institution as Fiction: What is an Institution? Workshop 1 02/10 - 04/10 English language By Beirut (Sarah Rifky (EG), Jens Maier-Rothe (DE), Antonia Alampi (IT)) see p. 34 “Unexpected Encounters”

When societies are caught up in such radical upheavals as Egypt is at the moment, this impacts on the way in which institutions – particularly of art and culture – need to be conceived. Normative conceptions are of little help here, but perhaps conceptions of ambiguity and movement are. But does that not apply to art institutions in general in times of turbulence? In their workshop for artists and culture workers, Sarah Rifky, Jens Maier-Rothe and Antonia Alampi from the Cairo-based art initiative Beirut, who are also involved in the Camera Austria exhibition, propose a series of collective exercises to reconceive the institution – including its identities, resources and economies – as a fictitious entity.

Neoliberalism as a New Anthropotechnique: Between the Cyborg and the Desiring Machine Workshop 2 02/10 - 04/10 English language By Giovanni Leghissa (IT)

Even though it seems so at times, neoliberalism need not necessarily be seen as the natural, almost inevitable further development of classical liberalism. The philosopher Giovanni Leghissa from Turin University suggests a deconstructive interpretation instead. The workshop will be about demonstrating the origins of neoliberalism in theory and defining a cultural agenda that allows us to conceive alternatives to the prevailing economic model. According to Leghissa, however, what this will also require is a form of rationality which differs structurally from conventional forms.

Afropean Decoloniality in the Art Plantations of Modernity Workshop 3

Three days of film screenings, three days of intense discussions on the Black Diaspora and the work of African video artists in the European context. Together with the Berlin-based curator and author Alanna Lockward, initiator of the Art Labour Archives, participants will try to decolonialise hegemonic narratives of art and forge new alliances based on the works of Teresa María Díaz Nerio, William Kentridge, Ingrid Mwangi, Robert Hutter and Emeka Udemba. The workshop will be held in English, with topics including theories on the subject of decolonialism and discourses on Black Feminism and Critical Race Theory.

07/10 - 09/10 English language By Alanna Lockward (DE/DO)

Theatre of the Oppressed and Radical Transformation: From Desire into Action Workshop 4

What role can theatre play in times of social and political upheaval? Hector Aristizábal, theatre-maker, psychologist and activist against torture, has founded the ImaginAction network in Los Angeles in order to utilise the transformational forces of theatre for community building and in processes of self-empowerment. Against the background of the Theatre of the Oppressed developed by Augusto Boal in the 1960s, Aristizábal will join the workshop participants to develop scenes from concrete life experiences, looking for ways to connect individual modes of acting with global movements for radical political change.

07/10 - 09/10 English language By Hector Aristizábal (CO)

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 eight 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. The result can be seen at steirischer herbst 2013 through the works of Kris Verdonck (BE) and Antonia Baehr (DE). NXTSTP partners: Alkantara Festival (Lisbon), Baltoscandal Festival (Rakvere), Dublin Theater Festival (Dublin), Göteborgs Dans & Teater Festival (Göteborg), Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels), Noorderzon (Groningen), steirischer herbst festival (Graz), Théâtre National de Bordeaux en Aquitaine (Bordeaux)

Education Discussions between you and the participating artists, curators and other people involved are important to us: we therefore offer introductions, artist discussions, guided tours and discussion forums, to create space for questions and criticism. The numerous workshops allow 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. Further education & herbst days steirischer herbst warmly welcomes school classes of all ages, all scholarship holders, students, clubs and companies to busy art and culture days 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, that is available free of charge on request.

Theatre / Performance / Dance Talks Following selected performances, we invite you – together with the dramaturgical team of steirischer herbst – to discuss their work with the participating artists. Theatre education programmes If requested in good time, we will be pleased to organise special introductions for groups before the performances. 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 & curatorial dialogues On four Saturdays, the KUNST.WERK association offers an alternating programme of guided tours of the festival exhibitions. (See p. 37) Eight curatorial dialogues propose more detailed information on the exhibitions. For the herbst exhibition “Liquid Assets”, in addition to the scheduled guided tours (see p. 31), 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. Entrance fees, if applicable, are not included.

Film Beziehungskisten Documentary films for children and young people Our film programme specially developed for school classes takes a documentary look at the social relationships of young people. Despite the expansion of virtual networks, concrete negotiation of living and working together remains the key factor in the lives of children and adolescents. Eleven films discuss not only the ups and downs of family and friendship ties, but also socio-political questions of belonging and exclusion. With films by Calle Overweg (DE), Susanne Schulz (DE), Roger Gómez / Dani Resines (ES), Annelies de Wit (NL), Saskia Gubbels (NL), Shaheen Dill-Riaz (DE), Anna Wahle (DE), Stéphan Castang (FR), Susanna Helke (FI), Robert-Jan Lacombe (CH) & Bruno Moraes Cabral (PT) Curated by Gudrun Sommer (DE/AT) With presentations by Stephanie Lang (AT), Petra Erdmann (AT) and Roman Fasching (AT) Please refer to the education brochure for the detailed programme.

herbstlichtspiele – Young films for experienced audience Extending conventional art education projects and involving new social contexts are particularly important to us, and so this year’s steirischer herbst outreach programme will be visiting senior citizen day-care centres in Graz with topical short films. New and old conditions, new and old demands, new and old goals. Young film meets an experienced audience in this hosted film programme. Please refer to the education brochure for the detailed programme. Coffee, Cake, Cinema The artists will be attending in person the Sunday cinema afternoons, “Coffee, Cake, Cinema” and will be available for discussion after the film. (See p. 9)

Music Together with the organisers of musikprotokoll, we offer introductions to programmes and age-appropriate discussions.

In co-operation with doxs! Duisburger Filmwoche

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 with doxs! and the Diagonale film festival from Mon 30/09 to Fri 04/10 in Styria. This is a media education programme for schools that discusses the content of the films and the film medium.

Architecture We are happy to organise discussions and tours for groups of all ages and interests, through Ex-Zollamt, this year‘s festival centre.
