International
cooperations play a major role in the work of curators. Most of the time they
work together with artists from different countries, realise exhibitions in or
together with international exhibition spaces and galleries and often cooperate
project-related with colleagues. Residency programs on the artistic as well on
the curatorial side serve for an international exchange and support the
networking of structures.
How and under which conditions does an art and knowledge transfer happen in the
international context. Which dynamics and modalities are relevent therefore?
Which differences exist in curatorial practice and in dealing with resources in
the international comparison? Which functions have international cooperations
in the non-profit field. On the basis of these
questions Elsy Lahner talks about her own work and presents different projects.
Elsy Lahner (born 1975 in Frankfurt a.M.) works as curator in Vienna since 2003. She
curated different exhibitions a.o. since 2006 the exhibition series “Space
Invasions“; “Into Position“ (2007), Bauernmarkt, Vienna; “DISPLACE- Junge
Fotografie aus Wien“, Frauenmuseum, Bonn. In 2007 she founded together with
Alexandra Grausam the art centre “ das weisse haus“ and is director of
O-suturia Freespace Foundation (O.F.F.) in Yokohama and Vienna, together with
Georg Russegger since 2008. In 2008/2009 she was a Curator-in-residence at the
