Art Talk with the curator Alice Cantaluppi and the artists of the exhibition Peter Haas, Anja Ronacher und Annelies Senfter. January 15, 2009, 7 p.m.

Some of the works in the 2008 annual exhibition of Salzburger Kunstverein members revolved around the reconstruction of one’s own history and the construction of foreign history by means of artifacts and presentations. Thus the intersection between memory, longing, and present-day experience acquires a special value. The insight into one’s own or into strangers’ family albums was used by some as an opportunity to reconstruct or review history. Others, however, saw it as a possible game to interweave imagination and reality and to tell new stories. Different levels of time collided with each other and revealed that the same images in different times are connected with varied expectations. Other works distinguished themselves through Hermeticism and formal reduction. By being set in the center, the characteristics of the materials or mediums used appear as projection surfaces. Some depicted the changeability and fleetingness of meaning, and that this is constructed, built to understand processes or to avoid or fill the emptiness. Others showed that meaning arises through emotions assuming a form.
