What happens when artists relate their own interests and principles to a collection that brings together important socially critical voices from the past and present? Nine candidates from the artistic doctoral programme at the Mozarteum University have brought their research practice into a partly direct, partly loose dialogue with selected aspects of the Generali Foundation Collection.
Dancing with the Lion presents the resulting works in dynamically changing constellations, ranging from installation, film and video to performance, sound and choreography, and is decidedly artistic-experimental research. The focus is on historical and contemporary approaches to institutional critique, feminism, media and technology reflection, decolonization and memory work.
In the three parts of the exhibition, artistic research projects alternate, providing a glimpse into history without suggesting a linear connection or art-historical causality.
