TOGETHER THE PARTS Day 5

Anne Juren/Sonia Leimer, Claudia Heu/Barbara Kraus, Susanne Songi Griem mit Pete Prison IV, Marta Popivoda, Shaymaa Shoukry, PLF (Freya Edmondes/Lukas König/Peter Kutin)

Ein künstlerisch-performatives Gathering
Anne Juren,

born in Grenoble/France, is a choreographer, dancer and Feldenkrais Practitioner based in Vienna. Her choreographic works and artistic research have been extensively presented in international theatres, festivals, and different museums and art venues. In her work, Juren tries to expand the contextual boundaries of the term choreography in engaging the body in different states of physical, sensorial, corporeal and poetic experiences, reflecting on the possibilities of encounters. She was part of the artistic committee for the Master in Choreography at DOCH from 2014–2018. Recently, she finished her PhD in artistic research titled Studies on Fantasmical Anatomies at SKH Stockholm University of the Arts under the supervision of André Lepecki and Sandra Noeth.

Barbara Kraus

lebt und arbeitet als Performancekünstlerin in Wien. Als selbstironischer „shapeshifter“ hört Barbara Kraus dort auf, wo Johnny & Co beginnt und findet sich in Schnecken, Steinen und einem Staubkorn wieder. In ihrem künstlerischen Universum ist alles in Bewegung und es gibt nichts, aus dem nicht etwas anderes werden könnte. Als taktiles, vielstimmiges, seismografisches „Performance-Medium“ bewegt sie sich gerne mit geschlossenen Augen und geht dort hin, wo es wild, widersprüchlich, brüchig und manchmal auch zärtlich wird. Tastet sich entlang einer Sehnsucht nach Verbundenheit. Träumen. Atmen. Schreiben. Gehen. Am liebsten in den Wald und über die Berge. Von Wien bis Nizza. Weit gegangen. Weiter gehen und niemals ankommen. barbarakraus.at

Claudia Heu

ist Choreografin, Kampfkünstlerin und Lehrende. Sie lebt in Wien und arbeitet auf der ganzen Welt. Seit 2016 übt sie gemeinsam mit Alexander Brom eine Form des Gehens, die sie Umherziehen nennen. Dazu laden sie Bekannte, Freunde und Unbekannte ein. claudiaheu.com

Eva Seiler

studierte Szenografie und Bildhauerei an der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien und an der Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerpen. In ihren Skulpturen und räumlichen Settings befragt sie den Anthropozentrismus und imaginiert, wie die Koexistenz von menschlichen und nichtmenschlichen Tieren, Natur und Technologie in Zukunft vollzogen wird. Entsprechend den hybriden Beziehungsmodi verwendet sie für ihre Objekte sowohl organische Materialien als auch industriell hergestellte Stoffe. Für TOGETHER THE PARTS hat sie großteils mit Elementen gearbeitet, die davor Bestandteil anderer Konstellationen waren. So entstehen Materialverbindungen, die für das Festival eingegangen werden und danach in neue Kontexte transformieren können.

Marta Popivoda

(Berlin/Belgrade) is a filmmaker, artist, and researcher. The main concerns in her work are the tensions between memory, history, and ideology, as well as the relations between collective and individual bodies. She approaches them from a feminist and queer perspective. Popivoda uses landscape dramaturgy, feminist storytelling, and radical slowness principles to produce ‘verbal-images’ or ‘scenes of (antifascist) memory’. Her film Yugoslavia, How Ideology Moved Our Collective Body, premiered at the 63rd Berlinale and is part of the film collection of MoMA New York. Popivoda’s work has been featured in major art galleries, such as Tate Modern London, MoMA New York, and MAXXI Rome. She received the prestigious Berlin Art Prize for the visual arts from the Akademie der Künste Berlin. Her latest film, Landscapes of Resistance, premiered in the Tiger Competition of the 50th International Film Festival Rotterdam and won more than ten awards worldwide.

Pete Prison IV

is a Viennese underground musician who plays in different music projects and formations, such as the hypnotic noise-jazz-punk duo Bosna and the solo dark-folk alter ego Vereter. Always rambling in the fields of music, performance, video, words and even sometimes dance. His works often engage with the void, subtle closeness, and humour arising from observations or personal experiences. Pete is the co-founder of Perilla, a self-organised zine and association that empowers the visibility and the voice of the Asian diaspora in Austria. bosnanowa.com, vereter.at

PLF

besteht aus dem Schlagzeuger Lukas König, dem Elektroniker Peter Kutin und der Vokalistin Freya „Fridge“ Edmontes. POP LOST FAITH: 2022 erschien ihr Debüt-Album EPDEMO auf dem britischen Label Opal Tabes. PFL erweist sich als ein unorthodoxes Bandkonzept, dass bemerkenswert versiert an der Grenze von Post-Punk, Noise und freier Improvisation agiert. PLAY FAKE LOGIC: Granulare Wolken verzweigen sich in rhythmische Abgründe, die Stimme betört, verstört, ein Licht-Feedback-Instrument eröffnet eine hypnotische Szenerie. PLF-Konzerte sind eine dynamische Tour de Force, die aus dem Zusammenspiel dreier Musiker*innen entsteht, die es darauf anlegen, das Publikum ebenso zu verführen wie es zu konfrontieren. PEACE LITERALLY FAILED. heartofnoise.com / lukaskoenig.com / kutin.xyz

Shaymaa Shoukry

is a Cairo-based multidisciplinary artist who thrives through a passion for choreographing, performing and creating video art. Always motivated and inspired by working collectively, she develops personal work in an organic build-up process, where each project paves the way for the next. Currently interested in the subject of resilience and the capacity of the human body to adapt to its environment, she engages with personal struggles, social pressure, violence, censorship and diverse political limitations to search for internal resilience and explore ways of solidarity and openness to a lighter frequency of being. Shaymaa studied Visual Arts and Theatre at the American University in Cairo, Dance at the Cairo Opera House School (Centre of Creativity) and Contemporary Dance at Studio Emad el Dien. She has had the pleasure to perform, share choreographic work and be hosted as a resident artist on a regional and international level. shaymaashoukry.com

Sonia Leimer

lives and works in Vienna. She studied architecture at the Technical University of Vienna and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. From 2007 to 2012, she hosted the radio show titled City and the Image. She taught at the Academy for Art and Photography with Martin Guttmann from 2012–2016. Leimer exhibits her work internationally at Leopold Museum, Vienna; Galerie nächst St. Stephan, Vienna; Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst, Aachen; Barbara Gross Galerie, Munich; Los Angeles Museum of Art; 5th Moscow Biennial; artothek, Cologne; Museion – Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Bozen, Italy; MAK Center for Art and Architecture, Los Angeles; Kunstverein Basis, Frankfurt; BAWAG Contemporary, Vienna; Salzburger Kunstverein; and Manifesta 7, Rovereto. sonialeimer.net

Susanne Songi Griem

is a performance and visual artist from Germany (Ruhrgebiet). Her first work for stage Fisch und Schwan in Negligé (Fish and Swan in Negligé) premiered in 2021 as a journey through a living anti-cabinet of curiosities and memories. Spaziergang bei Nacht (Walk by Night) followed in 2022, an acoustic duet with Pete Prison IV that held the warm atmosphere of a village square in the distorted landscape of theatre lights. Susanne Songi works with the texture of different materials, objects, languages and performative states, bridging an act of writing and following scores with the fluidity inherent to moments of encounter. She has collaborated in different constellations for performative works in public space, among others, with Alexandra Pirici, Scarlet Yu and Xavier le Roy or in self-organised groups such as Gruppe Bussi and Perilla. songyi.info

Anne Juren and visual artist Sonia Leimer open the gathering with Sensorial Transference Objects, an ongoing practice in the ‘sensorial tent’. They propose ways of treating and receiving treatment – using notions of the proxy body, co-regulation and diffracted attention – while searching for answers to how one can sense across objects, within objects, in proximity to objects, always questioning the boundaries between object/subject.
Claudia Heu and Barbara Kraus draw on their respective practices of walking – through urban space and natural landscapes – to trace the songlines of Halle G in their ‘tournée’. What awaits us around the corner? What spurs us to move forward? We take our time, letting our curiosity guide us.
Susanne Songi Griem and Pete Prison IV invite us to dance, draw, move, and make music in a ‘circle dance’ that brings together bodies, materials and melodies, forming mountains, waves and blossoms, to end with a picnic on stage. In the meantime, the sensorial objects of Anne Juren and Sonia Leimer are activated collectively, becoming the protagonists of a ‘procession’.
Filmmaker and artist Marta Popivoda ponders the core questions of the ‘listening circle’: Whose voices do we listen to? How do stories travel from one body to another? Sharing her approach to feminist storytelling, landscape dramaturgy and radical slowness, Marta will talk about her work on antifascist memory and her own practice of listening.
Akin to Anna Halprin’s planetary dance, the Cairo-based artist and choreographer Shaymaa Shoukry runs in a circle, uttering demands of both political and personal nature. Her ‘circle dance’ takes an embodied approach to resilience, perseverance, and solidarity, inviting us to consider what it takes to create and sustain a movement collectively.
The sonic finale by PLF fills the space of Halle G with a liberating and transformative ‘procession’ of sound, a combination of post-punk, noise, and free improvisation
