Installation views of the exhibition RELATIONAL FIELDS

On view: 5. May 2026 – 13. June 2026

Exhibiting artists: Nikolaus Gansterer (AT), Apollon Glykas (GR), Ilias Sipsas (GR), Simona Obholzer (AT), Julian Rosefeldt (DE), Ksenia Yurkova (AT)

Existence does not occur in isolation, but through relationships. People, things, and environments are embedded in a network of complex and dynamic fields of relations. These relations are constantly shifting through ongoing processes of action and interaction. Identities form, stability emerges, and dependencies or ruptures occur. Within this relational network, questions and possibilities arise for the individual subject concerning responsibility, decision-making, and boundaries. The multimedia artists featured in this exhibition explore various aspects and constellations of this theme. Some situate artworks or performative actions in relation to things, materials, bodies, space, the gaze, and/or the viewer. Others engage in collaborative modes of artistic cooperation. Further positions examine how individuals are shaped by their relationships to history, culture, and politics, and what tensions may arise between personal memories or experiences and public structures.

Nikolaus Gansterer’s three-channel video installation, untertagüberbau, combines animation, live drawing, lecture-performance, and studio-based experiments. Arranged around a kind of laboratory table, the work unfolds as a continuous flow of gestures and images, in which drawing functions as a method of thinking, testing, and negotiating unforeseen relations between materials, bodies, and environments. Gansterer’s critical yet playful approach draws on artistic means to translate the visual languages of scientific experimentation into new contexts. Employing paper, chalk, water, glass, organic elements, and living creatures—such as snails—he investigates processes of observation and transformation. These actions generate a shifting network of relations shaped by contact, movement, and temporal layering. untertagüberbau—underground work (invisible thought processes) in relation to architectural superstructures—provides the ground for constantly shifting, contingent relations, nonlinear perception, and associative thinking.

Julian Rosefeldt’s thirteen-channel film installation Manifesto (2015) pays homage to the vibrant tradition and literary beauty of artists’ manifestos, while ultimately questioning the role of artists in contemporary society. Manifesto draws on the writings from Futurists, Dadaists, Fluxus artists, Suprematists, Situationists, Dogme 95, and other artistic movements, as well as reflections from individual artists, architects, dancers, and filmmakers. By truncating, condensing, and combining original texts from these manifestos into thirteen spoken text collages, Rosefeldt gives voice to people working and living in diverse contemporary contexts. Cate Blanchett, with remarkably versatility, embodies thirteen distinct personas—including a teacher, a puppeteer, a news anchor, a factory worker, and a homeless person. Manifesto examines whether the statements and sentiments of these manifestos, written with passion and conviction, have endured over time, and whether the dynamics between politics, art, and life have shifted. Manifesto establishes connections between people, between past and present, and between art and life.

Apollon Glykas & Ilias Sipsas work with material from photographic archives, both exploring the discrepancy between representation and memory. Apollon Glykas brings images from two series into dialogue. Internally presents photographs of a wedding, a celebration, and a family gathering. A technical error has blurred these private images, rendering them unsuitable as documents of remembrance. What little remains recognizable reflects the workings of memory, which does not retain anything in stable form but is shaped by ever-changing experience. Through the serial repetition of the images, the same scene appears increasingly blurred and more distant each time. In Timeline, nine identical photographs of a wedding from the same archive are arranged linearly and partially overlap. They can be read like a film—albeit one that repeats the same moment. In both cases, the photographic image no longer functions as a reliable document of an event; instead, the relationship between time, memory, and representation is renegotiated.
