PRESS INFORMATION, 31.5.2005 - Festival der Regionen

PRESS INFORMATION, 31.5.2005

THE FESTIVAL IN BRIEF
Under the title Ordered States projects will be presented at the 2005 Festival of Regions which are
distinguished by a high degree of sensitivity for the structures and systems of order in the everyday
world. In close co-operation with local cultural initiatives and the general public, the projects will relate
to the living space and social realities in the focal region, Upper Mühlviertel. The motif and the choice
of focal region are to be also understood as a contemporary reference to the Adalbert Stifter
anniversary in 2005. A multitude of encounters between the general public and participants in the
Festival from Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Croatia, Russia, Switzerland, the Czech Republic
and the United States will lead to a dense series of presentations characterized not only by precise
observation and a committed sensitivity to regional particularities, but also by the linking of
contemporary cultural practices with the reality of everyday living. Based on the results of an
international call for proposals the 2005 Festival program is oriented toward the main motifs of gender
orders, youth culture, regional development, architecture and public order. The gamut of projects
ranges from staging the everyday life of villages and small towns in co-operation with residents and
setting up a Test Field Mühlviertel via workshops on international women’s networks through to work
with youths in schools and youth clubs. Exhibitions in Linz round off the program.

FUNCTIONING FORMS
Project: Vladimir Arkhipov
Exhibition of self-made constructions from the region
Self-made constructions from the region will be brought together, “functioning forms” that were not
purchased but arose only from the needs of their users. The objects will be documented in the sur
roundings of their owners by videos and photographs and presented with the originals in an exhibition.
Project sponsor: Kulturkontakt
Venue: Architekturforum OÖ
Saturday, June 18th to Sunday, July 3rd 2005.
POLICE
Project: Landesgalerie Linz
Critical artistic engagement with the power structures of the police
With the exhibition Police the Landesgalerie Linz (curators: Martin Hochleitner and Gabriele Spindler)
will analyze the critical artistic engagement with the manifestations of state power as a question of
present-day art. Selected projects by Francis Alys, Jeremy Deller, Peter Friedl, Rodney Graham,
Annika Larsson, Tuomo Manninen, Lisl Ponger, Oliver Ressler, Milica Tomi� and Santiago Sierra will
investigate the presence of police power structures vis-ˆ-vis an individual or a community. The
spectrum ranges from direct confrontations with the police through to latent forms of observation and
surveillance.
Venue: Landesgalerie Linz
Saturday, June 18th to Sunday, July 28th 2005.

MÜHLKREISBAHN
Images of women and garden design
The landscape planner Heidi Schatzl visited Mühlviertel women in their homes and interviewed them
about their gardens. A special carriage of the Mühlkreis railway was the setting used for the
presentation of the interviews and pictures obtained from this project, which takes stock of the
relationship between images of women and garden design.

DAS BILD DER ANDEREN
Project: Frauentreffpunkt Rohrbach
ROHRBACH
Images of women between Austria and the Czech Republic
The initiative The Image of Others invites women from the Mühlviertel and Southern Bohemia to take
a look over the border. By means of interviews and excursions the often erroneous images of women
beyond the border will be made visible. The results of the investigation provide the initial material for
an installation in the public space of Rohrbach, an exhibition at the Frauentreffpunkt Rohrbach and a
celebratory event during the festival.

AM HAUPTPLATZ, IM WALD
Project: Sofie Thorsen
Image-worlds of youths from the district
Sofie Thorsen calls on youths from villages around the Mühlviertel to tell stories about their localities
impromptu before the camera. In the conversation with the youths, she tries to gain an idea of the
interplay between everyday life, the production of identity and media images and to find out to what
extent the global media culture defines youth culture as an important factor in identity formation.
Based on the interviews, a film for the Rohrbach Cinema and a series of posters will be made.

CREATING THE CHANGE
Project: Ramiza Mehmedi & Jasmina Papa & Elfie Hackl Ceran
Conference
The conference puts the life of Roma and Sinti women and the exchange between women’s groups at
the focus of attention. Workshops, public discussions and art projects thematize the marginal situation
of Roma and Sinti in society. The aim is to uncover the stereotypes imposed from the outside and the
clich�s inherent in the Roma community, to make the women participants aware of their rights and to
promote the influence and co-operation between Roma and non-Roma women’s groups. Ten
speakers from Croatia, the Czech Republic, Macedonia, Bosnia-Herzegowina, Serbia and Austria will
lead the workshops.

THE ROHRBACH LIVING MEMORIAL
Project: Sanja Ivekovi�
ROHRBACH
Living monument
In the framework of the project, Creating the Change, a public performance with the title The
Rohrbach Living Memorial will take place. To the present day there there are only a few monuments in
Europe which commemorate the Roma and Sinti victims of the Holocaust. The image of Roma
awaiting their deportation has nevertheless left its mark in our collective memory. This is where Sanja
Ivekovic« takes up the thread. The Croatian artist will invite more than 100 people to stand and sit
quietly from one to three hours on the main street of Rohrbach.

Cultural project with the students group „Dobry Den“ des BG / BRG Rohrbach
The starting point is the theme of the border and its effects in the areas of school, work, feminism and
migration. In collaboration with youths from Rohrbach and the artist Martin Krenn, a process of critical
engagement with pre-given areas for action within the existing social order is to be initiated and
independent areas for action opened up.

The LAWOG buildings as ordering system
The regional residential building co-operative, LAWOG has erected hundreds of identical resi dences
in Upper Austria during the last fifty years. The grounds of these residential projects consist, just like
the flats themselves, of a standardized system of elements. The copy of a standardized LAWOG
playground will provide the arena for a game of dice composed of planning elements in a sand-pit and
the screening of a filmic portrait.

Festival of the Regions 2005, Chor-i-feen, a choir from the focal region comprising fifty-five members,
will sing songs written by the producer Eva Jantschitsch aka Gustav. Loosely related to the meeting
point “Kirche und Arbeit” (Church and Work) and characterised by its critical liberal image, Chor-ifeen’s
repertoire comprises songs of the labour movement as well as spoken-word pieces by Ernst
Jandl and folk songs from the Mühlviertel. Eva Jantschitsch will be working on arrangements for the
Chor-i-feen specially written for the occasion.

SCHINDLAU
The regional development plan as a park of cottages
The project Test Field Mühlviertel 2010 of the Frankfurt artists’ group finger is based on the Regional
Economic Development Plan for the Mühlviertel 2010. Six cottages represent its main foci, putting
them into relation with the everyday lives of residents. The Test Field is conceived differently from the
numerous homely parlours of the Mühlviertel as a place of the present that allows space for ideas for
shaping the future in a constructive way.
Venue: Schindlau

NEBEN DEM BILD
Project: Josh Müller & Pascal Petignat
Installation
In the course of numerous visits and interviews, the artists worked their way into the region, producing
a series of images based on these encounters. Special attention was paid to the omnipresent theme
of housing and the individual images of placelessness that are also to be found in rural areas and
which (superficially) form a contrast to the promise of uniqueness present in all regional marketing.

Exhibition
In this exhibition, serial works by two artists living in Linz will be brought together which, independently
of each other, are preoccupied with systems of order in everyday life. Isa Riedl’s photos, which
are oriented toward still-life paintings, document street scenes in Urfahr after the floods of 2002. In the
exhibition, this series will be contraposed to the conceptual photo-project by Verena Schweiger that
engages with the normative living environment of a student residence.

SCHWARZENBERG
Inventory of the capabilities and activities of a village
In spring 2005, all the permanent residents of the town of Schwarzenberg were interviewed about their
paid and unpaid skills and activities, with the aim of drawing up a balance of the knowledge and
activities existing within the village, in order to then relate them to other statistical and economical
parameters. The work of representing and evaluating the results will be carried out in cooperation with
the graphic artist Urs Lehni and will take the form of an exhibition held in the town.

SUPRA-REGIONAL
Filmic survey of the focal region
For their portrait of the region, entitled Zoomahinundher, Thomas Baumann and Martin Kaltner
translate the well-proven ordering principle of surveying into the language of experimental film. The
possibilities of cinematic expression are deliberately reduced to retro-zoom and two basic rules
observed: every frame has to connect to the next one in at least one way and the original starting point
has to be returned to. Thus the film-makers zoom from one point of reference to the next, walking
through the countryside and the villages of the festival area.

DAS RECHT AN DER GRENZE
Project: Florian Klenk (Falter)
Report
The border region between Austria and the Czech Republic is rarely deemed an object worthy of the
attention of journalistic reporting. Usually it is temporary states of emergency which attract the
attention of observers and rarely what has in the meantime become the routine and permanent state
of affairs comprising border control, enforced migration management, commuters and prostitution on
the one hand, and transborder realities such as the exodus from the land, the development of tourism
and everyday life on the other hand. Florian Klenk will publish the results of several research trips to
Upper and Lower Austria in the form of a special report in the Vienna’s city weekly newspaper Falter.

Newspaper advertisements, posters, direct-mail items
At the focus of the project are latent prejudices and the creeping discrimination against foreign
workers in Austria. With top-quality, well-designed job advertisements, “inferior” jobs for Austrians will
be extolled, including all the restrictions and disadvantages with which otherwise mostly migrants see
themselves confronted.

youth culture is to be served by the organization committee, Austria 2005, with clubbing. Wiplinger and
Leidenfrost will dedicate themselves in this spirit to Bertha von Suttner (100 years Nobel peace prize)
and Hans Kelsen (85 years Austrian constitution) and will organize an alternative clubbing event which
is to provide an ironic counterweight and critique of the public celebrations.

Cross-country football game
Land Art Cross Soccer is played across country from one village to another. Even the preparations
ended up as an instructive example of micro-democracy: the rules and the course of play were
unanimously decided by both the teams involved after numerous discussions and a test match. The
pitch extends for 7.5 kilometres between the villages and is oriented towards the course of the old
road. Interim goals structure the course of play until the decisive goal is scored.
