With tea and cake we will celebrate our monthly JOUR FIXE in order to talk about new project, new visitors and possible collaborations.
This mapping party will begin with a short introduction on OpenStreetMap, underlining the importance and usefulness of a free/open source geographic data and geographic information system. Then, participants will go on a walking tour in the local area (near Miss Baltazar’s Laboratory) using Field Papers to validate, add, or change existing geographic data. After the tour, there will be a practical demonstration about how to upload the data and how to edit OpenStreetMap.

“Wia mögen RosenBlüten”
by Akemi
12.Juli 2014, ab 14h
Von dem Interface-Feld, in das ich täglich blicke, ist der Ursprung
geblieben. Die Anfangsidee, dass Screenshot-Bilder, als
humane Schnittstelle zu betrachten, sind. Intime Portraits
bilden. Selbstgestaltete Schreibtischfelder und ein Diavortrag
durch jene Welten, die alte analoge Kulturtechnik aufrütteln.
Dann die vielen Screenshots zaghaft, nur von den Nächsten; nicht
zu viele Menschen fragen. Sammeln und zu jedem Bild genau den
Ursprung wissen, eine, vielleicht auch zwei Zeilen schreiben, ganz wie Reiseerinnerungen. Erinnerungen sammeln durch Interfaces von Arbeits-
und Freizeit-Kommunikationsgeräten Nahestehender. So die Resonanz und Menschen portraitieren und sortieren. Es entstehen intime Portraits von Freunden, Bekannten und hin und wieder kurzen Begegnungen als Diainstallation frei zu bespielen, ausschließlich im eigenen Auditorium faßbar. Die digitale Community, die ausschließlich im privaten analogen Raum existiert.

Alte Kulturtechniken sind Entwicklungen und Konzepte, die nicht auf Einzelpersonen rückführbar sind – quasi kollektive Community Leistungen und Aktivitäten zur Problembewältigung oder zum Spaß. Ihr partizipativer Charakter und die damit verbundene soziale Interaktion funktionierte jahrelang im analogen Raum, genauso wie sie heute in digtalen Projekten exisitiert.
Der Bewußtmachung und Rückführung des Digitalen in den analogen Raum hat sich die Künstlerin Lale Rodgarkia-Dara verschrieben. In der Verwebung von der Kulturtechnik der privaten Diavorführung und dem Sammeln von digitalen Screenshotbildern unterschiedlichster Interfaces (vom Desktop-Computer über das Smart-Phone) entstehen intime Portraits von persönlich angefragten Bekannten und Freunden, die so ausschließlich im privaten analogen Raum der Künstlerin existieren. Denn die Screenshots werden auf Diafilm übertragen und landen als Diavortrag und Diainstallation in der Langsamkeit der analogen Wahrnehmung. Aus der Sammlung ist so im Laufe der letzten zwei Jahre eine analoge digitale Community entstanden, die sich nun bei Diavorträgen erst kennenlernt.
Kombiniert wird die klassische Diaschau mit analogen und digitalen Substraten aus der Mostpresse der GeSOKS. In euren Gläsern werdet ihr vergorene Köstlichkeiten aus Apfel und Birne vorfinden, Informationen und Abhandlungen über die rezente Mostkultur gibt es jederzeit auf »mostblog.net«.

Maria Hera about Sideways:
“My first years in Vienna I spent walking along the streets, exploring this beautiful city. I was not just interested in the architecture, parks and places, but also in the people and their stories. I have the strange habit to pay a relaxed attention on the things lying on the streets. My fantasy starts spinning around, asking questions and imagining the stories behind the leftover objects.
In the photo-series Viennese Blood, 2009 I show the surprising amount of discarded drug packaging lying in the streets. I found this phenomenon quite amazing and I asked myself whether this could be the post-modern vestiges of the city of Freud.
Who are these people leaving all this packaging behind day after day? Why do these inhabitants of Vienna feel the need to medicate themselves in such quantities? What is the cause of their sleeplessness, restlessness, and unhappiness? Is this the dark side of the easy-going Viennese Schmäh?
Every foil-covered blister pack represents some synthesised chemical which is circulating the blood-stream in our fellow citizens.
In this period I collected also lots of notes, letters, photographs, even certifications lying on the streets. For the show at Mz Balthazars Lab I would like to open again the box and let out the Voices of my Viennese fellows. Once again I want to open the dialogue and start a communication by installing this tiny stories into the window-shop of the lab, in order to bring them again into the public and open once eyes for the hidden beauty of everyday ́s life!”

About the artist:
“I was born in Mexico in the town where the famous tequila is made, but I grew up in the City, my mother, a very beautiful Mexican woman, always moved from one place to another so I was a little nomad. My father is originally from Russia, but I never met him. My mother use to tell me stories about him and his frozen land. My favourite writers are Russian of course.
Thanks to my mother Im such a creative person, she used to tell me bizarre stories and used to sing morbid tunes for bed. My very first gift before I knew how to walk or talk, was a box of colors, my mother really estimulated my artistic sensibility taking me every weekend to theatre and movies. Then my sisters were born and I felt very responsible for them, I started to read a lot, to have nightmares and that’s exactly how my work started.
I never stoped studying, when I was 15 years old I made a master in Dramaturgie at the BUAP university in Puebla, Mexico; I did theatre a lot, with different theatre groups, I studied literature critics and poetry at the writers house in Mexico, I still write some things but I never publish. At the end I decided to study professionally visual arts.
At the moment I’m studying at the Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien a multimedia and sculpture specialization at the Erwin Wurm’s class. I finished Fine Arts Academy in Mexico City on 2005, and fortunately at the same year I came to Austria with an artistic residency at Künstlerhaus Studio in SalzburgI had two ”open studio” very successful receptions in the Landesatelier-Künstlerhaus Salzburg during my stay at that time.
Next year I had a scholarship for the Summer Academy at the Salzburg’s fortress, so I kept on coming back to Austria constantly.
I studied a master in psychoanalysis in Mexico City before, for three years, studies based on freud and Lacan theories basically, 2000-2005. But also I found Melanie Klein’s view very interesting. I left the formation when I was going to start practice with patients. For me was completed the aim of knowing enough to apply it to my art work.
I had solo shows at KBK arte Contemporáneo Gallery in Mexico City and on Funk Fu Net virtual gallery created in Prague in the 2006.
My work is represented in the United Arab Emirates by Carbon12 Dubai Gallery; I was at the show “Seven Positions” on 2009.
In Mexico I exhibited in Proyectos Monclova Gallery, 2006; and I have had participated in several collective exhibits with different galleries like Ramis Barquet in New York, Garash Galería in México City, Luis Adelantado in Valencia, Art & Idea Vienna and Poly Gallery in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Some of these galleries showed my work in different art festivals like MACO, Miami Scope or WTC art fair in Beijing China, this last one with Arcaute Arte Contemporáneo Gallery.
I’ve been quite busy organizing my own projects with artists from different countries, nationalities and art medias, involving sponsorships from international cultural institutions as well as private companies, promoting a real exchange of ideas and enriching as much as possible the process of working from each artist and myself, contacting institutions and finding the support for developing cultural events based on the colective results. Being in charge of the exhibit in
Bilbao Arte foundation in Spain on 2008 together with my sister, amongst others. We perform together in various cultural and fashion events as the Twisted Sisters, developing concepts together.
I have been living and producing in Vienna, participating in several group exibitions like “site- non site” curated by Amer Abbas or the solo show “Voodoo Tales” I had in the young offspace center C17.
An upcoming show hosted by LandSalzburg represents a very special moment and oportunity to conect my origin land and the beloved country that hosted me since several years ago. I’m very glad to take place on the exhibition in Traklhaus Salzburg 2010.”
