Participants: Tal Adler, Michal Bar-Or, Friedemann Derschmidt<\/a>, Shimon Lev<\/a>, Karin Schneider<\/p>\n Curators: Tal Adler, Friedemann Derschmidt<\/a>, Karin Schneider<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u00a0<\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n Opening | <\/strong>Thu, 21.03.2013, 7.00 p.m., xhibit Two historical myths \u2013 that Austria was the \u201cfirst victim\u201d of Nazi Germany\u2019s aggression and that Austrians were victims of the war \u2013 were cultivated in Austria\u2019s society during the postwar era through family narrations and popular images like that depicting Vienna\u2019s St. Stephen\u2019s Cathedral on fire. Based on these specific ways of presenting history and the development of counter narrations, Austria can be used as a laboratory for the politics of history as well as the construction and deconstruction of historical myths in general. Focusing on specific examples, the exhibition \u201cLaboratory Austria\u201d examines how the family, organizations of civil society, museums, and archives deal with their legacy, and how history is represented in the public arena. The exhibits are contextualized by research material which is available to the public as an open archive. The \u201cLaboratory Austria\u201d research team invites groups, associations, experts, and family members to discuss and develop the exhibited projects.<\/p>\n Leveled Landscapes<\/strong>, a photo series by Tal Adler, examines specific landscapes all over Austria, and raises the question how we perceive and want landscape to be rendered in the context of national and local historiography.<\/p>\n The project Dispersed Fragments<\/strong> by Tal Adler and Karin Schneider deals with the way museums \u2013 from small local spaces to national major institutions \u2013 present and teach history.<\/p>\n In Vienna \u2013 Fragments of a short visit<\/strong>, Michal Bar-Or\u2019s fascination with nineteenth-century remnants translates itself into a series of photographs of Vienna\u2019s cultural institutions.<\/p>\n In their project Voluntary Participation<\/strong>, Tal Adler and Karin Schneider approach various Austrian associations in existence since at least 1938 and invite the people working for them to pose for a photographic group portrait. The voluntary participation in this process challenges the groups with the concepts of heritage, complicity, responsibility, guilt, commemoration, and group politics. Against the background of this panoramic view, \u201cLaboratory Austria\u201d zooms in on the universe of a family and its connection with Austria\u2019s history: Reichel komplex<\/strong> by Friedemann Derschmidt<\/a> is a closed weblog for members of his large family. Its participatory process aims at collecting family myths and narratives as well as at supporting family members confronted with awkward questions of their ancestor\u2019s guilt and involvement in the Nazi movement. Shimon Lev<\/a> started his Family Photo Diary<\/strong>, a collection of thousands of photographs portraying various aspects of family life, in the 1990s. His father, Professor of Physics William L\u00f6w was born in Vienna in 1921. He was the only member of Lev\u2019s family who was not murdered in the Holocaust. In 2012, Shimon Lev<\/a> extended his photographic research to Vienna, tracing his paternal family\u2019s rootes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Laboratory Austria: Research and Development<\/strong> Laboratory Austria Opening | 21.03.2013, 7.00 p.m. Duration of the exhibition | 22.03.2013 – 28.04.2013 Venue | Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, main building, Schillerplatz 3, 1010 Vienna, xhibit An exhibition as part of MemScreen, a research project funded by the Austrian Science Fund (PEEK call 2010\u20132012).
