門 [Gate]

Milan Loviška and Otto Krause
Exhibition: March 22-26, 2024, by appointment
Reception: Saturday, March 23, 18:00

Japanese follows english

Japan is known as the realm of spirits, and Tokyo is its occult epicenter. There are many reports of paranormal presence in its glass towers and underground parking garages. During their BMKÖS International Studio Fellowship (Auslandsatelierstipendium) in Tokyo, the artists Milan Loviška and Otto Krause challenge currently dominant masculine aesthetics and intellectual sensibilities with their queer perspective and by consciously engaging with usually rejected and mistrusted material and experiences on the repressed peripheries of culture and science. The project 門 [Gate] serves as a conduit for a synthesis of the uncanny, the enigmatic, and the evocative. It is a testament to the past, present, and possible future of the (para)scientific and artistic exploration of the liminality of various supernatural phenomena in Japan, viewing these experiences as gateways to communication across temporal and spatial confines.

 Milan Loviška and Otto Krause are undisciplinary artists with focus on performance, installation, video, painting, costume and stage design, and new technologies. In their artistic practice, which is deeply rooted in both research and experiment, they question established modes of perception and stimulate uncanny perspectives on the relationship between spectator and artist/performer. They work with unconventional methods and strategies and are inspired by cross-disciplinary research processes. Between aesthetic opulence and reduction arise physically intense, imaginative works conceptually combining the aspects of popular culture and science, such as superhero comics, psychology, parapsychology, pornography, biology, new electronic media, religion, film studies, or philosophy. With their performative investigations, the two artists make strong socio-political statements that are characterised by their unmistakable artistic aesthetics. Their performance-based projects range from big stage works to intimate one-on-one situations in gallery spaces. The artists live in Vienna and present their work in galleries, venues, festivals, and symposia in Europe and Asia. In 2018, they were awarded the H13 Lower Austria Prize for Performance, the only prize for performance art in Austria.

ミラン・ロヴィシュカ&オットー・クラウゼ
レセプション 3月23日(土)18時
2024年3月22日(金)~3月26日(火)予約

日本は神秘的な土地として知られ、東京はその超自然的世界の中心地である。 ガラス張りの高層建築や地下の駐車場における超常現象の目撃情報は少なくない。アーティストのミラン・ロヴィシュカとオットー・クラウゼは、オーストリア文化省の奨学金を得て東京のアトリエに滞在している。その期間に、二人は独自の特異な視点から、抑圧されて文化や科学の周縁部に追いやられ、通常は拒絶されたり不信視されたりしている素材や経験に意識的に取り組むことで、今日の社会で支配的な男性的な美学や知的感性に挑戦する。プロジェクト「門」[Gate]は、普通ではないもの、謎めいたもの、そして刺激的なものを統合へと導くパイプ役を果たす。このプロジェクトは、日本におけるさまざまな超常現象の体験を時間的および空間的な制約を超えたコミュニケーションへの入口とみなし、超常現象の限界性の(疑似)科学的および芸術的な探求の過去、現在、起こり得る未来への遺書である。

ミラン・ロヴィシュカとオットー・クラウゼは、パフォーマンス、インスタレーション、映像、絵画、衣装および舞台デザイン、新しいテクノロジーに重点を置く、専門にとらわれず活動するアーティスト。 研究と実験の両方に深く根ざした芸術的実践において、彼らは既存の認識様式に疑問を投げかけ、観客とアーティスト/パフォーマーとの関係について普通ではない見方を刺激する。型破りな方法を用い、学際的な研究プロセスからインスピレーションを受けている。美の横溢と削減の間には、大衆文化と科学とを概念的に組み合わせた、物理的に強烈で想像力豊かな作品、たとえばスーパーヒーローものの漫画や心理学、超心理学、ポルノグラフィ、生物学、新しい電子メディア、宗教、映画研究、哲学などが生まれる。このふたりは、パフォーマティブな調査により、紛れもなく芸術的な美学を特徴とする力強い社会政治的なステートメントを作り上げている。彼らのパフォーマンス中心のプロジェクトは、大規模な舞台作品から、ギャラリースペースでの一対一の親密な空間まで多岐に渡る。ふたりはウィーンに在住、ヨーロッパやアジアのギャラリーやフェスティバル、シンポジウムに作品を提供している。2018年、オーストリアで唯一のパフォーマンスアートを対象とした賞であるH13ニーダーエスタライヒ賞パフォーマンス賞を受賞した。
