Schlafen in Wien

It was Friday the 6th of November at the Hotel Fürstenhof in the 7th district in Vienna where an exhibition of another kind took place.
Schlafen in Wien(sleeping in Vienna) from various artists. They spend 48 hours straight in the Hotel and try to live a life without leaders and any rules besides these:

1. All actions taking place in the different rooms have to be done in a way that a sleepy person is able to sleep

2. Every artist that rented a room, has to be present 48 hours long and has to be able to lead structural and open performances.

3. All rooms have to be open to public all the time, but are also allowed to be closed(the doors)

It was a very interesting evening with many many interesting people, artists and philosophers.
such as:
room 53 - Hautzinger
room 54 - Hauser/Holzer
room 48 - C.C.C.W.
room 49 - bartleby & co
room 50 - das Schaufenster
room 51 - trau schau fremo
room 52 - Fritz Ostermayer & Friends

enjoy the pics.

YVONNE TODD

"Since the early 2000s, Yvonne Todd has emerged as an uncannily subtle exponent of what might be called The Aesthetics of Meanness, an artist who pursues social discomfort—ours included—as tenaciously as Ansel Adams pursued light on the flanks of Yosemite." Justin Paton. New Zealand photographer Yvonne Todd uses the generic language of commercial studio photography and quotes mainstream pop-culture, but she produces off-kilter images that express a personal mythology. She is best known for her images of female ‘characters’. These portraits are highly styled; using wigs, costumes, makeup and even false teeth. Todd women seem to suffer from some soap-operatic malaise, explicit or implicit, be they cosmeticians, cripples, modest Christians, anorexics, cult members, showgirls or tragic heiresses. Her work has a complex relation with feminism. "My favourite author when I was twelve or thirteen, Virgina Andrews, wrote gothic tale...
