Licking Structures
Art & Science
The programme and performance times during the exhibition period will be uploaded on our website and facebook account
continuously.
Vernissage, guided tours and other events of the exhibition are free of entry.
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.
