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.

Jason Fox’s first solo show was held at Feature in New York in the early nineties, just after MoMA’s High and Low: Modern Art and Popular Culture (the first major exhibition to address “the relationship between modern art and popular and commercial culture.”) And only two years before Mike Kelley organized The Uncanny at the Gemeentemuseum , Arnhem. Fox’s work itself acts as a link between these events, and they in turn allow us to chronologically situate his acts of borrowing from both art history and from record sleeves of the seventies. Although considered as common practice today, this kind of artistic approach was not so widespread at the time.   In a recent interview with artist Joe Bradley, Fox explicits his position: “ The early nineties was another death-of-painting period and to be making expressive paintings that had nothing to do with appropriation was going against the tide.
