Like rocks and crystals, social and institutional structures
erode. But in their fragmentation and breakage also lies creation. The act of licking is instinctual and internal but it also
penetrates and reaches into the world. It is through this exact engagement that geologists, archaeologists, and also children
understand their surroundings. Objects melt in your mouth, and the universe can be experienced, absorbed, and possibly devoured,
resulting in a moment of sensorial synthesis.
“Licking Structures” embodies exactly this process
of dissolution and re-creation. We long for the erosion of past architectures that shape our collective reality, enabling
us to metabolize new ones in which we can better coexist.
“Licking Structures” creates an interdisciplinary space in
which the artworks both literally and metaphorically explore the concept of dissolving orders. The 24 artists utilize their
personal perspectives to create, broaden or reimagine institutional frameworks and established dichotomies in an intimate
way. We invite visitors to come in contact with the sensorial through symbols on the labels, indicating which senses to use
to appreciate each artwork. Lick at your own risk!
This exhibition is curated, organized and produced by students of
the department of Art & Science at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, in collaboration with the Natural History Museum
Vienna.
