TIPSY TINA, Kunsthalle Exnergasse Vienna AT, 8/9-22/10/2022
Curation of a group exhibition based on the film TIPSY TINA
(…) At Kunsthalle Exnergasse, the group exhibition TIPSY TINA developed by artist Anna Hostek collects excerpts and insights of a young artists’ scene in various media combinations. Situated between sound, image, sculpture, photography, and fashion, it weaves together the most diverse approaches and unfolds a multiperspectival scenery. Inserted backdrops from the day before yesterday structure the space, create a vague physiognomy. The dramaturgy lies in fragments, hidden behind works. (…) The exhibition TIPSY TINA presents an experimental variant of a classical peep show dispositif in which all elements of a stage can be grasped with a single glance, without establishing hierarchies of things through the direction of the gaze. Collaborations meet individual positions, thereby forming a spatial collective. (...) The video work TIPSY TINA by Anna Hostek was the basis for the selection of the artistic positions; some were already part of the work itself. The artists were chosen from the different, autonomous chapters of the video and translated into the physical space. ( text Ada Karlbauer)
TIPSY TINA Chapter 01-07, video, 15:30min, 2020/22
The project - a hybrid between exhibition documentation, performance and film - consists of seven chapters that were individually documented on video as self-contained projects. The non-linearly short film, shows video material from various often collaborative presentation formats. An actress and the sculpture ‚TINA‘ as a second persona are presented through text and equipment. A script created in my writing practice gives the sequences a dramaturgical logic - in which parallel sculptural works are placed in a scenic context.
