EXHIBITION

HUNGRY FOR TIME

In the historical ambience of the Aula and the Paintings Gallery, Raqs Media Collective presents a show that apprehends time from the perspective of hunger and desire, the eponymous hunger for time. In eleven scenes this hunger for time is outlined in more detail. The scenes assemble artworks from all three of the historical collections and relate these to contemporary art, including works commissioned especially for the exhibition.

We show the work VOLCANO // Discursive Justice Ensemble (Kabelo Malatsie, Michelle Wong, Lantian Xie) with Hekate Film Collective (İpek Hamzaoğlu und Laura Nitsch) ft. Gabriel de la Cruz //

RESONANCE / ALGORITHMS

Program series curated by Marietta Kesting and Constanze Ruhm

mumokkino, Wednesday, 7.12. 2022

19:00 - 21.00

This program collects works that take themes such as resonance and echo as the starting point for staging the relations between analogue and digital algorithmic forms of visual and sonic recording and presentation methods. The culmination of the program is a performance by the queer-feminist choir MALA SIRENA, presenting a medley as an echo chamber of the whole series: appeal, empowerment, invocation, protest, echo, and collectivity.

The video campaign “Schluss mit den Ausreden” (“Stop with the excuses”) was commissioned by the Austrian Association of Women’s Shelters (Autonome Österreichische Frauenhäuser, AÖF) and was published online in February 2021. The campaign argued that the public discourse on violence against women has to shift its focus on the responsibility of men as perpetrators and that violence against women already starts with psychological and emotional violence, such as manipulation, isolation and control.

The original campaign showed an all-male cast who employed a string of common excuses in which violence is justified with love, in order to confront the viewers with their own definition of violence - whether as (potential) perpetrators, witnesses or victims.

In the second part of the video, the focus is on a clear positioning against violence. A change can and must take place: Through those (men) who do not talk their way out of it but take responsibility for their behaviour. This insistence on men’s responsibility also makes a clear statement for women affected by violence: No excuse for violence is ever acceptable. Every excuse is one too many. So: no more excuses!

The AÖF association has been working for decades to prevent violence and change awareness and works closely with men’s counselling centres.

After the release of the video, it was decided to publish the video in a renewed version. The fact that in Austria at least every 5th man uses violence against a woman has also been confirmed in the production of this video campaign.
