Exhibition Opening
Rosa Arbeit auf Goldener Straße
On Friday evning from 19.00 onwards at xhibit, the exhibition rooms of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, will be hosting the opening of an exhibition as part of the project Dildo Anus Macht: Queere Abstraktion.
Project leaders and ymposium concept: Hans Scheirl, Ruby Sircar
Exhibition curators: Christiane Erharter, Dietmar Schwärzler
About the project:
The concept "queer" is meanwhile omnipresent and lives from its immanently constructed complexity. What exactly is meant by it remains therefore often unspecific and depends on the users and context. The exhibition project takes as a starting point a definition posited by Judith Halberstam: "queer refers to nonnormative logics and organizations of community, sexual identity, embodiment, and activity in space and time." The exhibition title Rosa Arbeit auf Goldener Straße makes reference to an earlier, disarming short film by Rosa von Praunheim: In Rosa Arbeiter auf Goldener Straße II (1968), a young woman flees from the (former) East block to the West and finds shelter in the bourgeois art milieu. This transgression, also intended in a political sense, is the motif of the exhibition, which also includes works from artists of post-socialist countries. There is still a dominant idea that these countries' queer art production lacks visibility.
The project Dildo Anus Macht: Queere Abstraktion, along with the exhibition Rosa Arbeit auf Goldener Straße, also includes a four-day symposium (22 - 25 November 2012) on the theme of queerness in everyday life and work. Questions on gender relations and difference will be negotiated, as well as questions of post-pornographic and post-colonial content, within the background of material and artistic necessities. Judith/Jack Halberstam, Nikita Dhawan, Tim Stüttgen, Eliza Steinbock, Antke Engel, Gini/i Müller, Maria Llopis, Sushila Mesquita, among others, have been invited as speakers and workshop leaders.

Conference Venues
The University of Applied Arts Vienna
More than 2,000 students, many of them from abroad, study at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, Die Angewandte, which was founded in 1867. Die Angewandte is an institution with a long tradition that has played a key role in the development of Vienna’s and Austria’s cultural and intellectual identity. Today it is one of the world’s most important art universities, offering a wide-ranging spectrum of programmes. It plays a pioneering role in many new fields, such as transmedia and transdisciplinary art, art and science, social design and artistic research. The increasing linking of various disciplines, to which Die Angewandte is continually adapting with new interdisciplinary programmes, offers students a great diversity of possibilities for designing their own individual course of study. Each student’s progress through the wide spectrum of learning opportunities is closely accompanied by advisors and instructors from a variety of fields of art, science and scholarship. In addition to transmitting artistic and scientific competence, all programmes of study aim to promote critical reflection and encourage independent action, enabling university graduates to make significant contributions to the further development of our society.
City of Vienna
Worldwide, Vienna numbers among the cities with the highest quality of life. The city on the Danube, surrounded by the Vienna woods and hillside vineyards, is located in the Vienna Basin, which links the Eastern Alps and the Western Carpathian Mountains. The former Habsburg capital is widely known as the historic city of music and Viennese Modernism. Today a fresh wind is blowing through Vienna’s urban environment, which is enlivened by a thriving art, design and architecture scene. Transdisciplinary activities, networks, initiatives and cooperation reaching far beyond the bounds of conventional artistic categories, festivals of contemporary art and museums with open doors for young art, characterize Vienna’s cultural identity today. The urban space is a collaborative laboratory for manifold creative niches, for a plurality of styles, living spaces and perspectives.
MuseumsQuartier Wien
The MuseumsQuartier Wien, the MQ, is one of the world’s largest and most transdisciplinary complexes for modern art and culture. It is home to nine museums and venues for fine arts and performing arts, music, fashion, design, children’s culture, architecture and digital culture. It also is a habitat populated by more than 60 culture initiatives. The MuseumsQuartier is an urban hub and meeting point for many cultural enthusiasts.
Architecturally, Baroque mixes with new structures and contemporary arts – for example in the Electric Avenue of quartier21, where the university’s Department of Digital Art often exhibits. Even early on, at the opening of the MQ in 2001, the leitmotif was “Baroque meets Cyberspace”. Since then the idea of culturally linking the new and the old has characterized the MQ. In this respect it represents Vienna’s contemporary cultural environment with an accent on new – and even radical – developments arising from this symbiosis.
Plenary Sessions and Table Talks Overview
The 12th ELIA Biennial Conference is composed of four major parts:
ArtSHARES, a dissemination and network meeting; the conference plenary sessions with distinguished keynote speakers and table talks (see below); the
ELIA General Assembly and the
Open Space programme.
Opening Session
The Rector of the University of Applied Arts Vienna,
Gerald Bast and the ELIA President, Kieran Corcoran,
welcome the delegates of the 12th edition of the ELIA
Biennial Conference. Karlheinz Töchterle, Federal
Minister for Science and Research and Andreas
Mailath-Pokorny, Executive City Councillor for Cultural Affairs Vienna address the audience during this official Opening Session.
Plenary Sessions: Art Questions, Art Knows, Art Matters
The conference core is divided into three plenary sessions – Art Questions, Art Knows, Art Matters. Each session features keynote speakers offering thoughts provoking presentations to further promote dialogue. Following each keynote speech delegates will have the opportunity to discuss in smaller groups over coffee, tea and soft-drinks. A series of questions will be raised to give jumping off points for discussion, to illuminate the interrelationship between art, science and society.
Art Knows: the creative arts contribute to the experience of life in parity with science and philosophy.
The arts have the capacity to persuade, subvert, celebrate and confront; to challenge the status quo; to act as powerful cultural agents; to inspire an individual's aspirations, to help people learn to appreciate differences and to construct coherent value systems. In this first plenary session, artists andeducators will be joined by the futurist Matthias Horx to examine the quality of knowledge deriving from the arts. In other words, how arts contribute to knowledge and its fundamental role in shaping our thoughts and our future.
Art Questions: on Friday morning, the discussion will focus on the investigative, explorative and analytical qualities of the arts.
The arts constitute a distinct network of knowledge, complete with its own language and procedures, that enables us to describe, understand and engage in different forms of experience. The tone of our debates will be set by keynotes from established artists, who have successfully developed careers in the arts or who have added leading curatorial and theoretical influence to their practice.
Art Matters: The arts (and artists) make a substantial contribution to the economy and to social change.
Artists and arts graduates are invaluable not only to the arts but to society at large. Artists provide a workforce with a more sophisticated range of creative, interactive, negotiating, presentation, team-building, decision-making and entrepreneurial skills. Young and more established artists have been invited to add more arguments and to underpin this claim.
Table Talks
Following the input of the keynote speakers, delegates will be divided into small groups to discuss over coffee in a more informal atmosphere. These small groups have been designed to facilitate dialogue and allow delegates the opportunity to network and make new contacts. The conference organizers will instruct the delegates to choose a new group composition for each table talk, increasing and diversifying the number of people to meet.
On the back of each delegate’s badge there will be information about the group and the room assigned to each participant.

ArtSHARES Abstract
Swimming with the Sharks, or Biting the Hand that Feeds You
Challenges of sharing knowledge that is based in ongoing collaboration and dialogue.
Being the Director – Maintaining Your Vision while Swimming with Sharks – is an artistic research project and video essay where director and former artistic research fellow Trygve Allister Diesen quite literally interviews himself and scrutinizes his own work and process to study the role of the film and TV director.
Starting with the core question "is it possible
to maintain a personal, artistic vision in an art form as collaborative and commercial as film
and television?", he soon realizes that he has no clear definition of what "director’s vision"
really is.
Swimming with Sharks is a personal video essay about Diesen’s work and process as director/creator on the hard-boiled TV-series
Torpedo, and the American feature film
Red (Sundance 2008), juxtaposing his video diary with footage from the set, and interviews with key staff and collaborators, who often see things rather differently than the director. Diesen also interviews international capacities like Danish director Per Fly and character actor Brian Cox, using their input as a sounding board to his own ongoing reflection.
In his presentation, Diesen will screen clips of his video essay and discuss some of the challenges of personal, practical, ethical and artistic nature when you place (or even force) your artistic research project on an already ongoing ambitious endeavor with many vested interest, artistically as well as financially.
He will also particularly address challenges related to how you can use and share that knowledge, often gained in vulnerable and personal moments - or disseminate your research.
The video essay is a part of Diesen’s doctoral work in directing at The Norwegian Film School.

Simon Dennehy
Simon Dennehy graduated from the National College of Art and Design in 2003. After working in industry with many progressive Irish companies, he chose to return to his Alma Mater to commence a two year research masters, through Industrial Design. While continuing to work, both as an employee and as an independent design professional, Simon chose to study Ergonomic School Furniture for Primary School Children, as his research question.
This subject arose as a result of ongoing work that had been undertaken in NCAD by his tutor Dr. Gearóid O'Conchubhair, whose PhD saw the development of very specialist furniture for Orchestral Musicians. Building on this work, Simon took an interdisciplinary look at existing methods, theories and practices, related to task seating and work.
By the end of his Research Masters, Simon had developed and designed a patented system for sitting and working, which had shown to improve the comfort and posture among Primary school children. After showcasing this work at the NCAD annual exhibition, Simon decided to pursue this concept in several different ways.
In 2009, he established his Design company,
Perch, to commercialise the IP and design vision, which emerged from his MA. Simon has built a very comprehensive team of 5 designers and engineers and has received several business awards, with some financial awards from Enterprise Ireland. This work has shown great potential with international furniture leaders and from October 2012, the RAY school furniture system has been launched at the worlds leading furniture fair, Orgatec. His research has continued and forms the foundation for the company's direction. Perch is now collaborating with several leading companies to generate new furniture solutions, which are primarily based around his MA and ongoing PhD research work.
In 2009, in the same month that Perch was formed, Simon chose to continue his academic research. He joined the GradCAM school in Dublin, to undertake a PhD, with the hope to define the interdisciplinary nature of the design process, with relation to task furniture. This study is ongoing. Charting the design progression from the Perch/RAY school furniture design, its interaction and evolution in the commercial world and the postural analysis deployed during the development phase, are key building blocks for this study. Using both Quantitative and Qualitative assessment methods to determine the validity of a new approach to task work Simon has learned to use the scientific equipment as a design tool. By partnering with physiological laboratories such as MEDIC, in Cork, he noted large gaps and inconclusive/unsatisfactory findings from short term studies. In reaction to this, Simon designed a new long term observation study to visually assess the posture of school children in their natural environment.
The combination of Physiological assessment tools with Qualitative visual assessment, through a design lens, is where Simon's PhD will emerge.
Simon and his tutor, Gearóid pursued funding from the EU's FP7 programme, under the IAPP scheme, in 2009. Entitled TFE, (Task Furniture in Education) their project received the highest ever rating at proposal level and the project received over €1.3 million in funding. TFE is now an active and exciting project which hopes to create and direct new legislation, for the appropriate design of educational furniture. With very substantial project partners, such as VS Moebel, Fielding Nair International, BAG, Trinity College Dublin and ESAD in Portugal the project is now almost half ways through its four year term. Simon has interacted with the project from its conception and currently acts as a Design Director for the project.
Simon currently lectures in the National College of Art and Design and has done so since 2008. He works as tutor to the students, through various design projects and has also worked with the college on his work in Perch.
He also lectures in NUI Maynooth, where he tutors the final year design students. In 2012, Simon was requested by the Cork Institute of Technology, to help them establish a new design lead course. He will also act as an external examiner for the course.
Simon has published his work in the Irish Ergonomic Society in 2009. He has presented work at the BINI, Bioengineering annual conference in Ireland in 2011 and also at the Dublin TEDx conference. In 2012, he spoke at the global Interaction 12 conference in Dublin and has won design awards at the IDI annual showcase.
ArtSHARES Abstract
A 3rd Cycle researcher working with industry
Simon Dennehy will discuss how the work he conducted through his Masters Study, in Industrial Design, with NCAD, has influenced his PhD inquiry. He will discuss his patented design, in brief and what he believse can be achieved by using this approach to task seating. Through interdisciplinary design, taking account of the scientific data banks from relevant sources, as well as acknowledging the need for a sympathetic aesthetic, the hope is to argue the need for a global approach to problem solving and design thinking.
How this work has formed the foundation, in part, for an EU funded FP7 IAPP, Marie Curie funded research programme will also be discussed. This programme has been entitled TFE Research (Task Furniture in Education). It has received over €1.3 million in funding and has partnered with some of the most significant industry and academic partners in Europe and the US.
Dennehy’s PhD work looks at the design development of a concept, through to completion and implementation. Through this process, I will discuss the need for both quantitative and qualitative analysis of working prototypes. This is a way forward for designers who make attempts to validate their concepts and create more value for the R&D and design disciplines.
How the IP created through Dennehy’s work has taken the shape of both Patented designs as well as a very intricate working knowledge of how to design for the user will also be a focus of the presentation.
Dennehy will introduce his company, Perch, and discuss how it borrows heavily from his PhD and MA work. This model of working sets Perch apart from traditional design companies.
To give a more complete overview of Perch Dennehy will discuss the latest unveiling of the RAY school chair, which has been successfully developed with commercial partners Labofa, a successful Danish company who have invested in design through intense research.

She received her Bachelor of Arts in ‘Intercultural European and American Studies’ from the University of Halle/Saale and Macquarie University Sydney while working as an assistant theater director at the Stadt-Theater in Augsburg, Germany and Tutu Theater in Accra, Ghana.
In 2008 she received her Master of Arts in Performance Studies from the University of Hamburg and started working as a performer and performance director for small theaters in Guatemala City (Instituto Experimental) and Hamburg (LICHTHOF THEATER, Kulturhaus Eppendorf, Sprechwerk). From 2009 until 2011 she worked as the director of studies for the Hamburger Sprachschule developing language theater courses and integrating them into the school’s curriculum.
In 2010 Lucia Rainer started her PhD in performance studies at the University of Hamburg. In 2011 she was granted a three-month residency at the Künstlerdorf Schöppingen where she started her practice-based research and produced her first lecture performance ‘She’s All Dressed up for Peace’, which was performed at the Dancekiosk in Hamburg in 2012. Following this, she produced the lecture performances Wissen is(s)t Torte (knowledge = cake / knowledge is eating cake) for the International Performance Art Festival 2011 in Berlin and woMAN for the Stockholm Fringe Fest 2012.

Künstlerische Projekte zur Vermittlung aktueller Kunst (On-Road-Test. Disseminating contemporary art projects).
Abstract
A Lecture Performance about Lecture Performances
The project “a lecture performance about lecture performances” is situated in the field of performance art. As a performer and performance theorist, Lucia Rainer practically and theoretically experiments with lectures as performances: She illustrates, exemplifies and questions ideas and hypotheses scenically, so that she is able to speak with a topic – and not merely about it. Her lecture performance explores the collaboration of two frames, that of the academic lecture and that of the artistic performance, wanting to understand how lecture performances bring forth knowledge and how this knowledge is recognized, communicated and legitimized by the audience.

Therese Schuleit

Company for perception strategies.
Experts for spontaneous spacetime-folding.
Raumfaltung is working on interventions in public - with public spaces and with communities. Open dialogue is used as a tool for (artistic) research, while poetic changes of the status quo are used to get attention and awareness for the other possibilities of space. The aim is to open up the reception of the world as a place that is shaped by us and could be changed together. A part of the group has worked for some years with the artistic collective "Mühlenkampf". Recent projects made by a new constellation of people called "Raumfaltung" will be presented along with former projects made with Mühlenkampf. Projects involve a new nuclear power narration, a public school as social sculpture, and local production in a public housing district.

Gerhard Treml
Gerhard Treml is a US-American/Austrian artist based in Vienna. His work explores narrative strategies in order to question relations that are basic to the understanding of everyday life. For this he appropriates practices from various cultural fields to investigate and redesign their purposes. Accordingly he has been mistaken for an architect, social scientist or most currently for a landscape designer.
In this role he is directing the collaborative art-based research program “Eden’s Edge” in cooperation with the University of Applied Arts and an international team of art based researchers generously supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF)
Their goal is to develop narrative tools to understand how stories of everyday life, work, science, politics, movies, dreams, or the news actually form the environments by which we interpret and make use of our physical world.
How this approach could practically also be utilized for the production of space was the basic question for a workshop the project team conducted with students of landscape design. Together they developed experimental practices within featured relations of plot and place as they followed Mikhail Bakhtin's insight into a writer's use of space.
Peter Weibel

Peter Weibel follows his artistic aims using a large variety of materials, methods and media: text, sculpture, installation, film and video.
In the mid 1980s he explores the possibilities of computer aided video processing. Beginning of the 1990s he realizes interactive computer-based installations. Here again he addresses the relation between media and the construction of reality.
In his books, lectures and articles Weibel comments on contemporary art, media history and media theory, film, video art and philosophy. As theoretician and curator he pleads for a form of art and art history that includes history of technology and history of science. In his function as a university professor (University of Applied Art, Vienna) and director of institutions like the Ars Electronica, Linz, the Institute for New Media in Frankfurt and the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe he influenced the European Scene of media art through conferences, exhibitions and publications.

Abstract
Knowledge and the Transference in Circus Performance and Lecture Performance
Circus, like Psychoanalysis deals with sex, death and fantasy. It also needs an "other" to whom it must recount its story. My research deals with what happens in that transmission of information called the circus performance; what knowledge is communicated in that event and what relation is established between artist and other.
In order to do this I look at the Lacanian distinction between truth and knowledge in the analytic set-up and the circus event and find correspondences between the two
