Commissioned by the Kontakt Collection and co-produced by Tanzquartier Wien:
Collective Exhibition for a Single Body – The Private Score – Vienna 2019 is an
exhibition of performances created by artists from Central, Eastern, and Southeastern
Europe that are activated from works present in private collections in Vienna.
The project is based on an original exhibition score conceived by Pierre Bal-Blanc and
was launched for the first time at documenta 14 in Athens/Kassel in 2017. The Private
Score is this score’s second version and is being produced in Vienna at the initiative
of the Kontakt collection with its resources expanded by the collections of the TBA21
and works also represented in the collection of Generali Foundation. The activation of
the artworks will be resituated via the performers’ presence during opening hours in
the Lidl food market on Wiedner Hauptstraße.
The original artworks from the Austrian collections that form the starting point for these performative movements and gestures will be shown at Haus Wittgenstein along with further works from the three collections. At Tanzquartier Wien, the project will be contextualized by a discourse-focused event entitled Parallax Views II on 25 June 2019.
