In 2020, the first comprehensive solo exhibition in Austria by Iman Issa, the renowned artist and professor at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, opened at the TAXISPALAIS. At the time, however, the pandemic prevented a direct encounter between artist and audience. We are making up for that now with an artist talk, coinciding with the release of our joint publication. In conversation, Iman Issa and Nina Tabassomi will talk about her work in the current group exhibition, the previous solo exhibition, new projects, and the monograph.<\/p>\n
Information on the monograph<\/strong><\/p>\n Iman Issa\u2019s work raises questions about the relevance of forms and iterates the past into virulent present. She creates playful studies with her installations, films, publications, and sound works that allow one to experience the blind spots running through the present as well as our current visions of the past. Historical artifacts, the genre of the artistic self-portrait, film sequences, the history of ideas, and cultural practices, such as museal conventions around presenting and preserving, are drawn upon, variegated and reinterpreted.<\/p>\n This book combines elements of an artist book and a catalog\u2014a complex monograph: It has been published in conjunction with Issa\u2018s solo exhibition at the TAXISPALAIS Kunsthalle Tirol and presents two different complete series of the artist\u2019s work (Proxies, with a Life of Their Own<\/em> and Lexicon<\/em>) and, at the same time, offers an in-depth exploration of her entire body of work through texts by curatorial and intellectual collaborators (Nav Haq, Ana Teixeira Pinto, Melanie Roumigui\u00e8re, and Nina Tabassomi).<\/p>\n Free admission<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Free admission<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8224,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","kalender-kategorie":[16],"class_list":["post-8068","kalender","type-kalender","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kalender-kategorie-artist-talk"],"yoast_head":"\n
