WORK OUT #1: Inside Out
Art & Science
The exhibition shows works which are elaborated at the interface of artistic practice and scientific
research, as these works deal with the mutual relationship of inner worlds and outer worlds.
Inspired
by and connected to discourses within psychological, medical, philosophical and art historical theories, questions concerning
the different layers of self-designing and the mechanics of outside-world constructions are addressed in dependency to a specific
focus on contemporary information societies and the boosted impact of digital data on personal living circumstances.
Works by Johannes Frauenschuh, Jasmina Grudnik, Mauricio Suarez Ramos
Cooperation partner: Univ.-Prof.
Dr. med. Franz Kainberger and Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Andrea Maier (Medical University of Vienna)
WORK OUT #1–3: A
presentation of three group-shows on three different evenings by the first year students of the Art & Science department
of the University of Applied Arts Vienna
WORK OUT, an analogy to both physical activity as well as the process
of problem solving, is the culmination of our first year of studies. Much like a science-oriented laboratory, the studios
of the Art & Science department are a place where different narratives and visualization strategies are explored. Impacted
by diverse discourses reaching from astronomy to medicine, critical studies to logic, the shows feature the diverse artistic
practices of painting, drawing, building and performing in relationship to scientific inquiry.
The series starts
with the subjective gaze inside, continues with experiments about the objective true–false dichotomy, and ends with practices
negotiating and building intersubjective truths. We invite those outside of our subjective circle to join us, as we put our
work out.
