Preface

“Be my guest, be my host, be my ghost.”

The famous exhibition invitation extended

by Marcel Duchamp embraces an array of topics between the real and the unreal, the seemingly real world that we know and the other unfathomable second worlds below, behind and in between.

Second Worlds “Second Worlds” – the theme of this year’s steirischer herbst – sets out in search of cultural, social, political and psychological parallel worlds: as conceptual alternatives, models of thought, levers for a change of paradigm that suddenly allow us to see things differently. Even with a minor shift of perspective and parameters, things start to slide. It depends on the beholder’s point of view and focus whether, when looking at this world, other worlds also become visible – as is the case in an optical illusion created by Arcimboldo, that is, at the same time, a landscape, a face and a mass of foodstuffs. For there must be something that we can keep sight of as a possibility, an alternative, an option or a utopia – without fearing the other or exploiting it for cheap political exclusion propaganda. With seemingly no alternative pragmatism and short term, here & now politics, our society will be unable to solve current, as well as any foreseeable problems.

We can look for second worlds in the future, too. As worlds in which the past had different consequences and the future does not depend on the present. Parallel worlds, possible worlds, impossible worlds, ideal worlds. The Croatian curator collective WHW (What, How & for Whom) – responsible, among other things, for the Istanbul Biennial 2009 – explores the potential of possible and impossible changes of perspective at this year’s herbst exhibition.

2

Real and unreal parallel systems There are numerous second worlds: while the “Hauntings” project at Kunstverein Medienturm, a series of concerts at musikprotokoll and an evening of film, examines secret and uncanny presences in media, art and pop, the Kulturzentrum bei den Minoriten discovers a new way to examine religion in art.

The Grazer Kunstverein focuses its exhibition on the political power of folklorism, while Camera Austria critically scrutinises current social concepts of coexistence.

The array of performance works ranges from Lotte van den Berg’s analysis of the other during her extensive research in Kinshasa, to deep immersion in the virtual world of the Belgian CREW group, and Eszter Salamon’s bodiless science-fiction choreography. steirischer herbst opens with the latest work of one of the most important choreographers of our time: Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker blends the separate worlds of musicians and dancers with her Rosas company and the Graindelvoix vocal ensemble conducted by Björn Schmelzer. She achieves this by having dancers sing and musicians dance, to music from a world distant in time, the ars subtilior from the late 14th century; that, paradoxically, corresponds to a contemporary understanding of music in terms of complexity and abstraction.

The festival centre, designed this year by the Austrian-Slovenian artist Maruša Sagadin, is also a world within a world: as the festival district, it spans the area between Südtiroler Platz and Mariahilfer Platz, a gated community that deliberately and playfully examines the discrepancy between invitation and exclusion. There will be plenty of art and plenty of opportunities for discussion and celebration at the Bar, in various rooms at Hotel Mariahilf, at the herbst shop and at many other sites.

“Be my guest, be my host, be my ghost.” – Take the time to peruse the programme. We hope that your curiosity has been piqued and invite you to join the artists for a busy time at steirischer herbst 2011.

Orthographe (I)

Episodes from “A week of kindness” Orthographe, who featured at steirischer herbst in 2007 with their perplexing camera obscura, transform room 113 into a confusing archive of place and time loops full of seemingly ordinary and yet fey everyday actions. We are condemned to obsessive, never-ending recollection. Trapped in an in-between world of repetitions, trapped in the limbo of the 21st century, in reality television, where emotional, real and fictitious schedules manipulate everyone at will. Can we still trust what we experience? Who controls our perception, do we all see the same? Is our action self-determined or are all our wishes merely symptoms of a feverish dependency: the dependency on being able to watch, watching more and more, watching again and again, on being watched, being watched watching.

Field Works – Hotel

A hotel room as a place of searching for poetry in everyday life. In their very intimate and playful performances, the Japanese artist Yukiko Shinozaki and Norwegian artist Heine Avdal (who featured at steirischer herbst two years ago with “you are here”) create dream-like, absurd in-between worlds by means of subtle shifts in reality.

Only one visitor per performance is sucked into the mysterious past of this very ordinary hotel room: how many people have stayed here? What happened before we came in? Are we really alone, or can we hear the room breathing? Do we remain silent spectators, or do we play our role in a story?

What is a good question? Perhaps one that reveals something. Or one that precipitates a discussion. Or perhaps the best questions are ones that have no certain answers. What does the government have to Eu do with me? When I am 34 %anispectator, do I still take part? What does ts ern rope g cool mean? What is a community and where is mine?

A question is like an empty box without a lid, waiting to be filled.

The “Public Question Library” is a growing collection of questions contributed by citizens and visitors to Graz. Perhaps a community is simply a group of people reflecting on the same questions.

Agora – Open Space As You Like It, A Body Part

The aim of this agora is not to put something in order, but rather to invent social opportunities. With workshops, lectures, performances, interventions and publications, fourteen very diverse artists from twelve different countries invite you to share in their working process and discuss worries, knowledge and actions around the concept of public space – a process, which finally leads to the première of “Shakespeare’s As You Like it, A Body Part”.

Agora is a project by PAF, the influential self-organised Performing Arts Forum in France, that examines the link between theatre and public space. If the village square, the agora, marks the birth of theatre, can theatre today once again contribute to demanding the public in public space?

Commissioned by steirischer herbst & part of the “Agora Project” Produced by vzw Avec Jan Jib Co (Brussels) & Performing Arts Forum / PAF (St. Erme) Supported by Culture and Education subsidy programme of the European Community Subsidised by the Allianz Kulturstiftung

Two image-worlds – fictitious and real. Two parallel political orders.

With subtle cuts and dreamlike transitions, this documentary essay is an attempt to remake Fritz Lang’s legendary classic “Metropolis” as a collaged metaphor of human megalomania in China, in which political mythologies, economic pragmatics, urban development and utopian visions of the future are inseparably mixed.

An unsafe harbour under the control of foreign tongues: in Hamburg, a ship has been abandoned by its owners. The crew calls on the help of the ghostly cadres of the Comintern, who take possession of a documentary film-maker’s consciousness. Agitprop as a revenant grown savage and internationalist during the years of its absence.

Revolt and voodoo or the invocation of a past in the service of a future that deserves this name.

Tales Of The Bodiless Musical Fiction Without Science

How can you get out of your body? Can you leave it for a while? Can Austrian première you take a vacation from it? How long can you stay out of yourself, Thu 29/09, Fri 30/09 & without losing it all together? “Tales Of The Bodiless” explores a Sat 01/10, 7.30 pm condition that is hard to imagine: a world without human bodies, MUMUTH 75’ without matter. This journey into an uncertain future consists of four situations. Four worlds in which bodies lose themselves in very 18 / 12 € different ways, turning into foam or moor, becoming one with the English language landscape, crumbling into colourful dust. Humans evaporate in the Talk following memory of the species that survives them. the second performance Eszter Salamon, who billed at steirischer herbst 2008 for the first time with her duo “Dance #1 / Driftworks”, widens her already broad Direction Eszter Salamon idea of what choreography is, embarking on a journey through Concept, text & composition regions of palpable sensuousness: dynamic compositions of voices, Eszter Salamon & Bojana Cvejic sound, light and space. Bodiless voices around us sink, dissolve, Music urgent and aggressive, joyful, ecstatic. Hearing overpowers seeing, Cédric Dambrain & Terre Thaemlitz theatre attempts to disappear into immateriality.

Sound design “Tales Of The Bodiless” not only crosses the line between different Peter Böhm Lighting & image design genres. But also between a conceptual understanding of Sylvie Garot choreography, that relies above all on reflection and analysis, and Video direction & theatre that seeks to absorb us completely in a shared, sensory video concept assistance experience. Both converge here, as a form of art that does not Bertrand Schacre ar dictate, but rather confronts us with an expansive space of what is Technical direction 100 % b rmance fo r e p possible and impossible.

The American choreographer Gutierrez, whose solo is now billing in Graz flirts and plays with the audience, before finally giving the short evening a new twist – a black-humour anticipation of one’s own demise, a physical and emotional tour de force full of narcissism and self-doubt – melodramatic and prosaic, full of humour and shrewdness. Until everything comes crashing down.

how we should do it

We should do it differently. We should be honest. We should respect others and not feel superior. We should tell stories which everyone can identify with. Read and reread our commandments. We should integrate as far as necessary. We should be able to part in peace.

We should stand up and carry out a common movement. We should leave space so that others have time to understand. We should read the newspaper. We should stop thinking that it has to hurt. We shouldn’t wait until it is too late. We should take care of water. We should be gentle and understanding. We should stay recognisable.

We should prepare for it. We should work, eat and sleep. We shouldn’t start getting paranoid about being watched all the time.

Jörg Albrecht / copy & waste (D)

Terence Hill’s blue eyes Bud Spencer and Terence Hill are back. They are shooting their new film in the cheap western scenery of a theme park for the unemployed. The story’s the same: fighting, drinking and eating beans!

Twenty years after enjoying watching videos as children, copy & waste and their author Jörg Albrecht are now bringing back the anti-heroes of their childhood to cleverly beat the big bad guys and nasty bureaucrats. They counter the standard of socially acceptable under-supply and over-production with the blueprint for a totally different world. But is it possible: not working, bearing oneself, without any added value? Bud Spencer’s swirling fists show us how.

In a time when only those who have always had more than enough may be wasteful, Spencer and Hill masterfully play havoc with everything. But are the western heroes still against it, or is their parasitic joint venture of super-poor and super-rich merely another pillar of the neoliberal, flexible economic order?

Shakespeare’s As You Like It, A Body Part As a theatre-maker, Jan Ritsema has devoted himself almost obsessively to the task of undermining the familiar territories and Thu 13/10, Fri 14/10 & conventions of theatre.

Second Worlds: in which the past had different consequences and the future does not depend on the present. Parallel worlds, possible worlds, impossible worlds, ideal worlds. Worlds apart, worlds connected. The programme invokes the unrealised possibilities haunting our present day, as well as the realistic dangers that could wipe out any conceivable future.

The notion of another world has become largely apocalyptic – a world in the wake of an unimaginable natural disaster, for example, or a human-induced self-destruction with capital as the sole survivor. The geopolitical construction of a second world from the Cold War era, that for decades euphemistically sought to conceal the dark chasm between the First and Third Worlds with the illusion of progress that would, sooner or later, embrace all people, has gone out of fashion. But the inequalities and divisions that it manifested have continued to grow. Only the ideology of economic growth has superseded that of progress.

This year’s herbst exhibition – conceived by the Croatian curator collective WHW, who were, amongst other things, responsible for the Istanbul Biennial 2009 – uses the potential of possible and impossible second worlds as a projection surface for an imaginary and political change of perspective – but still firmly rooted in the geopolitical reality of our time.

The influence of the conservative right wing has been growing for several years now. The overt exclusion of those perceived to be different, people with different national, ethnic or religious roots, appears to have become socially acceptable once more. Populist right-wing polemics, often argued with religion, drowns out the arguments of those trying to research the necessary foundations.

“The left-hand path” is a walk-in, acoustic portrait of manners of a society that has let globalised markets and power relations become the basis of its cultural, social and political structures.

Armed with smartphones, headphones and an app specially developed for this project, visitors are invited to go on a walk around the centre of Graz, over which Marcus Maeder has spanned a virtual field of discourse: new paths of thought and argumentation will open during a city walk from the Schlossberg to the Stadtpark.

CineChamber 1invites you to a new dimension of audiovision. It 7%A is both an instrument and a presentation platform; a surround technology specially developed by Recombinant Media Labs for audio and video that immerses us in new worlds of sound and images all specially created for CineChamber.

Together with the four partner festivals of the ECAS network project “Networking Tomorrow’s Art for an Unknown Future”, a whole array of new pieces has been created – some by Austrian musicians and video artists. The event kicks off with the tightly packed, approximately three-hour opening evening with numerous world and Austrian premières; the following afternoons will feature material from the already abundant archive.

In the best traditions of musikprotokoll, this year’s Klangforum concert blends discoveries and unexpected elements with the certain quality of what cannot be planned in detail. In addition to Zubel and the composers Gerald Resch and Brice Pauset, who are returning to musikprotokoll after several years’ absence, the programme also features Elisabeth Harnik, a Styrian composer and performer.

Playing field research (Spielfeldforschung) Theory at steirischer herbst

The dividing lines between the real and the imaginary are not always particularly clear.

In some cultures, that which may be, is as much a concrete force as that which is. In which case, the ghosts of the deceased and the past are not a metaphor of memory, but a potent present. A second world that is not parallel at all, but which overlaps the first extensively. steirischer herbst takes the concept of second worlds as a metaphor for notional alternatives, as levers for changes of paradigm. Even with a minor shift of perspective and parameters, things start to slide: adjust the focus and what is clear becomes blurred, what is blurred becomes clear and we recognise different structures, different layers, different realities. The first and the second world become an optical illusion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their order unclear.

For parallel worlds are not only a hobby of utopians. They are also an efficient instrument of logic and recently, in philosophy, of speculative realism: it is not so much a matter of fixing facts as of considering the possibility that it could also always be very different.

The other world has very specific manifestations, in quite a different way, in African cultures, for example: fancy cars and plenty of bling-bling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is no coincidence that in poverty the Second World looks exactly the way they imagine distant Europe. Conversely, in these parts we tend to overlook parallel worlds that are just as real: homeless people, migrants, whoever plays no role in our chain of production and exploitation.

Between philosophical figures of thought that enable second worlds at least in our minds, between the aesthetic possibilities of shifting the focus and the concrete, political implications of parallel societies and human beings that fall between the cracks of the patterns of our perception, steirischer herbst 2011 sets out in search of the ghosts that surround us, with whom and through whom we think.

Illness proliferates within or invades from without. It is a condition of the other, of the misunderstood, a parallel world in life. And even if the world of the healthy and the world of the sick are fundamentally separate from each other, we are part of both.

Illness is suffered, ignored, administrated, illustrated and idealised. nginstalla It serves as a sign and as a metaphor: tuberculosis, of Kla the disease poets, that renders the body transparent, cancer, Aids and recently, dementia as a synonym for a generation’s repression of Nazi crimes. The question remains what illnesses are created by society itself, what illnesses it names, recognises, and what illnesses are suppressed into the realm of speechlessness. And what normalcy, what health (in times of hygiene fetishism) is called for when 4 ble fit in% with the smoking, eating and drinking suddenly no longer image of the human being?

Illness is a concept to describe a condition of abnormality; and what the norm is, is subject to fashions and necessities. So how is the concept of illness changing as we transition from a disciplinary society to a society of control? And how does the definition of illness relate to the definition of the stranger variously propagated by society?

Traditionally, art is responsible for revaluating illness, for giving positive attributes to decay, morbidity and deviation. But today, the artist is no longer a social outcast, as a neoliberal subject they have become integrated as a guiding model – and thus illness has lost its passionate advocate. The subversive potential of illness has vanished. Who are we as patients?

This conference during steirischer herbst 2011 brings together various theorists and practitioners dealing with illness, to look at the question of the role that illness plays today as an omnipresent second world in the midst of the first, as reality and as a metaphor.

25/09 - 30/09 English language By Michael Esposito (USA) & Carl Michael von Hausswolff (S) With Heidi Harman (USA) see p. 13 “Auditory Thresholds”

Electronic voice phenomena (EVP) are electronic noises in the air, resembling speech – stray radio transmissions, background noises for example. Are they sounds from another world? The artists Michael Esposito and Carl Michael von Hausswolff are two of the most renowned experts in this area, who have been researching and working artistically with EVP for many years. Together with the sound healer and psychic medium Heidi Harman, in this workshop they not only have a close look at the history of such phenomena from the spiritistic séances of the 19th century to the high tech expeditions of today, but they also work practically and theoretically on questions of recording environments with their parallel ghost worlds of sounds. How to process, identify, isolate and clean EVP captured on space specific location recordings? What characteristics do they have? What are their aesthetic and artistic qualities? And how do they relate to the sonic landscape of our world in the past, present and future?

Workshop 2: The State Artist Aesthetics of politics

What kind of physical knowledge exists in our bodies as political beings? What is the dance of a citizen? How does the state perform?

Which politics are possible through physical contact, what are the aesthetics and erotics of the Volk and of the state?

Beautiful actions in a public space are the centre of this workshop: What is the art of “pre-enacting” which introduces a political fact into the public realm? Events and actions, initiated by artists, whose works of art are discourse-specific, which can only happen at this place and at this point in time, which are governed by a specific constellation of social trauma and political ambition. Against the idea of a political commitment within the for / against paradigm, Public Movement proposes the role of a state artist. A state artist is responsible for broadening political imagination. A state artist works in society and within the political collective which is the state, and is not there to serve a rigid partisan ideology.

03/10 - 08/10 English language By Public Movement (IL) With Oliver Marchart (A), Joanna Warsza (PL) & Artur Żmijewski (PL)

Workshop 3: Translating the Unknown The ghost world of Kinshasa is not a remote, ethereal place. It might be invisible, but it exists quite concretely next to the real world – a parallel religious sphere with great influence on daily life in the Congo. How can we relate to places and rituals that are strange to us? How can we translate experiences in a theatrical context?

The Dutch theatre-makers Lotte van den Berg and Guido Kleene spent several months together in the Congo, researching for the show “Les spectateurs”. Even though both have been inspired by first-hand experience and documentary material, their treatment is very different: Guido Kleene’s performances are rather text-based documentaries, where as the theatre of Lotte van den Berg operates in the more visual and abstract sphere.

Visiting an African church in Graz, meeting a philosopher from Cameroon, watching film material, talking to people on the streets, the participants in the workshop will be challenged to create their own interpretation of a world unknown to them.

09/10 - 14/10 English language By Lotte van den Berg (NL) & Guido Kleene (NL) With Achille Mbembe (CM) see p. 25 “Les spectateurs”

For the Cameroonian philosopher and post-colonialism expert Achille Mbembe, Africa is a welcome metaphor of appeasement that enables the West to accept its own unconscious and to account publicly for its subjectivity: a projection screen for guilt and repression. With the aim of both accepting and dissolving the difference between these worlds, Mbembe confronts us with our own perspective.

steirischer herbst is a partner of NXTSTP, an ambitious and long-term project that forms part of the European Union culture programme. Next Step is a network of seven European art festivals, with the aim of fostering the co-production and expansion of the performing arts in Europe. NXTSTP wants to provide impetus to performing artists on the verge of an international breakthrough, by creating access to major theatres and making tours of Europe easier, thus attracting and appealing to new audiences. The results can be seen at steirischer herbst 2011 through the works of Eszter Salamon (D/H) and Lotte van den Berg (NL).

NXTSTP partners: Alkantara (Lisbon), Baltoscandal (Tallinn), Gรถteborgs Dans & Teater Festival, De Internationale Keuze (Rotterdam), Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels), steirischer herbst (Graz), Mira (Bordeaux)

Education

Theatre / performance / dance

Discussion between you and the participating artists, curators and other people involved in the projects is important to us: we therefore offer introductions, artist discussions, guided tours, and discussion forums so as to create space for questions and criticism, for an active examination of the projects and productions billing at steirischer herbst. Our aim is to involve as many different sections of the public as possible in all genres of the festival.

Talks Following selected stage productions, we invite you – together with the steirischer herbst dramaturgs – to discuss the work with the artists.

Further education & herbst weekend specials steirischer herbst warmly welcomes all scholarship holders, students, clubs or companies to a busy art and culture weekend in Graz and will help you put together a programme and organise meetings and discussions with artists and curators.

Our series of seminars and programme introductions on various genres is particularly intended for teaching staff and multipliers.

Our education brochure provides information on all programmes.

We will try to cater for your particular wishes.
