"bridge:ing“The "Czernowitz Austria" - political symbols and identities in a new Europe02 March 2007 - 29 April 2007 What means "to belong" and "identity"? Can identity be decreed by symbol? How is identity constructed? Which symbols do have a future?These questions - highly charged in light of the debates surrounding "European identity" - are the core concern of the international art and cultural project. The replica of the in 2003 rediscovered "Czernowitz Austria" sculpture is the basis and starting point for an artistically and scientific examination about political symbols and European identities. The project started in January 2005 and runs with international exhibitions and events till 2008 in major cities in the five actively engaged countries (AT, PL, HU, SL, UA): Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Krakow, Lviv, Chernivtsi, Kiew,… Using the actual example of the "Czernowitz Austria" the history and effective power of old and new European cultural icons and symbols are being investigated in this international project. 10 internationally reputed artists from Austria, Poland, the Slovak Republic, Hungary and the Ukraine interpret one replica of the sculpture - the project is being curated among others by Anna Maria Potocka and Lucas Gehrmann. The works deliver interpretations concerning the attitudes towards, as well as the handling of political symbols and identities in Europe. The new works of art will be given to the Republic of Ukraine during the project concluding event as a symbolic gesture. The exhibition in Vienna shows not only the 10 new pieces of art, but also photo and video installations dealing with these themes as well project documentation and an extensive side program. the artists: Ilona Neméth – Objectart / Installations – Slovak Republic Gruppe XYZ – Objectart / Installations / Glass – Slovak Republic Róza El-Hassan – Objectart / Installations / Metall – Hungary Janos Sugar – Objectart / Installations / New Media Art – Hungary Karolina Kowalska – Photography / Objectart – Poland Janek Simon – Sculptures / Objectart – Poland Anna Sidorenko – Performance / Object Art / Installations – Ukraine Bronislav Tutelman – Photography / Object Art / Installations – Ukraine Bernadette Huber – Object Art / Installations - Austria Abbé Libansky – Object Art / Installations / Photography - Austria as well as a country-specific and venture related performance project of Hilde Fuchs - Austria Location:
