Annenstrasse 53,

1.12.20–
Annenstrasse 53,

Annenstrasse 53, is an independent exhibition space that exposes (un)learning processes. By dislocating teaching and research from the university (IZK, TU Graz), students, artists, architects, theorists, and practitioners actively work toward a praxis that engages in non-normative critique, unravelling standardized and oppressive structures that emerged with colonialism, Eurocentrism and Americentrism, forced acculturation, fascism, and capitalism. In light of this, Annenstrasse 53, conceptualizes and practices exhibiting as a continuous, open-ended process, where cross-reading generates novel thoughts and debates, as something that is thought beyond temporal and spatial closure. Within this flux we position research as an investigative, transformative process for all involved.

Artists: Das Gesellschaftliche Ding. Kunst, Architektur und Öffentlichkeit, Ariella Aïsha Azoulay, Nina Valerie Kolowratnik, Daniella Shreir (Another Gaze / Another Screen), and students of the IZK – Institute for Contemporary Art, TU Graz

Films for a Free Palestine is selected by Daniella Shreir. Shreir first programmed For a Free Palestine: Films by Palestinian Women for Another Screen (Another Gaze journal’s  streaming platform) during May–June 2021.
