Sommer 2021: Austausch APO33 (Nantes/F) und STWST (Linz/A)
OUT OF MATTER - FLUX LIBRE
OUT OF MATTER
STWST as guest at APO33 and Electropixel in Nantes/F. Stadtwerkstatt was invited in to the Plateform Intermedia in Nantes for the summer months.
Exhibition 3. Juli - 29. Aug 2021
Totalitarianism, dystopia, disorientation and dissolution:
STWST is working on even more dematerialisation.
With OUT OF MATTER we are engaging in unbounded electromagnetic space, diffuse spheres, dissolved entities, de-confined systems. We send, darken, glow and grow. We have light, antennas, microbioms and underground to handle oppositional energy.
After a total crash of Media Art and the all-over capitalistic market places we‘re thinking some coordinates of art and technology, information and nature, material and abstraction. We deconstruct and reconstruct to show some matters to keep the systems open. What are our materials? What are our resources? What are our needs?
With OUT OF MATTER we convert seperate positions into collective situations – to a NEW CONNECTING, EVERYTHING DISSOLVED.

End (Plateform Intermedia with Antenna)
OUT OF MATTER was done by STWST collective, in a practice of constantly redefining art contexts. Artistic positions dissolved into each other. Some names in the end: Astrid Benzer, Tanja Brandmayr, Jakob Breitwieser, Shu Lea Cheang, Jan-Nahuel Jenny, Ortner/Schinko, taro, Felix Vierlinger, Franz Xaver. There are hundreds of people in the context of STWST history. Stadtwerkstatt poses new questions about Matters, Needs and an art after New Media.
