9. to 13. June 2010 @ Projektwerksatt SOHO, 1160 Vienna, Schellhammergasse 24 (corner Hubergasse)
THE SHELTER PROJECT brings together 25 International artists and theorists on the theme of SHELTER. Multicultural, cross-disciplinary. New artwork, new talks, new questions.
In this 21st century culture of in-between spaces, determined by increasingly typical experiences of movement, disorientation, and hyper-mediation, has shelter become an attitude, a movable state-of-mind? Is shelter a concrete place, or a less tangible notion of connected experiences and relationships—the sum of one’s lived experience carried within? How much do our cultural narratives form our ideas of shelter? Who has access to shelter, who does not? When is shelter life-affirming and when does it become a form of constraint? THE SHELTER PROJECT examines these and other questions from multiple perspectives through related projects that manifest art’s relationship to that which is both personal and political. What does shelter mean to you?
