New Frontiers: Zeichnen 2
NEW FRONTIERS Zeichnen
According to an assessment by
Wikipedia, the current generation of young practicing architects no longer
consists of "digital
immigrants"; its members must already be classified instead as
"digital natives." The advent and triumph of digital planning and
production tools has permanently transformed the thought and practice of
architecture. Reappearing nonetheless and circulating throughout discussions of
architecture, particularly in recent years (i.e. as a strategy designed to elude
production pressure or self-limiting standards and conventions) have been a
multiplicity of hand drawings, sketches, diagrams, and heartily slipshod study
models. And we regard this trend as a source of celebration, because expressed
in these modes of presentation is nothing less than a heightened desire to
communicate once again, to render one's own activities comprehensible on an
accessible and in the end manual level.
At this point, it would be naïve to
break our anti-digital lances in favor of an architectural romanticism (and
what could this actually be?), for the progressive promise of a virtual reality
has already generated a factual reality, one that has unquestionably not only
made it possible to conceptualize the formerly inconceivable, but in many
instances to render it buildable as well. In any event, we are devoting serious
thought to the ways in which the fascination of the digital has taken on a life
of its own, and are currently examining the question: What form might a
critical reception or artistic corrective of this state of affairs take? In the
framework of the exhibition series "NEW FRONTIERS Zeichnen," we seek
neither to give vent to our disapprobation of "Freudian prosthetic
gods," nor to pronounce a manual restoration in the sense of enlightened
authorship, and perhaps of the concept of the work. In any event, the highpoint
of avant-garde provocation via the digital procedures so intimately associated
with the "New Economy" has already passed, yet the question remains:
What is next?
Alongside the participants Lukas Göbl, Markus Leixner,
Constantin Luser, Josef Saller, and Florian Unterberger, who were invited in
advance, the exhibition NEW FRONTIERS Zeichnen/Drawing features eight
additional positions which were discovered through an Austria-wide competition
(juried by Lilli Hollein, Dieter Ronte, Günter Zamp Kelp, and Florian Medicus).
We are delighted to have identified eight additional "digital
natives" from the younger generation (i.e. 45 or younger), namely Dietmar
Franz, Sebastian Heinemeyer, Lucas Horvath, Claudia Larcher, Marianne Lang, Patrick
Pregesbauer, Walter Prenner, Franz Riedl, and Nicole Wogg, who have quite
deliberately begun in their daily work to execute drawings by hand or to
combine manual and digital forms of expression with one another in ways that
seem perfectly self-evident, yet at the same time highly provocative.
"The future of aesthetic possibilities lies in
the past," wrote Hanno Rauterberg in late 2004, only to assert eight years
later that: "The further life glides into the realm of the digital, the
more pods and pads are disseminated, the more everything is touched upon
lightly, never really grasped, the more people feel a growing need for the
here-and-now." (DIE ZEIT, 2/2012) And it is precisely in the here-and-now
that the exhibition NEW FRONTIERS Zeichnen intends first of all to explore the
field of tension of spatial reflection and production in terms of its basis in
the visual arts, and second of all to pose the most urgent questions concerning
the fundamental process conditions of art and architecture in Europe in 2012.Organizers: NEW FRONTIERS – Verein zur Förderung experimenteller Architektur (Society for the Promotion of Experimental Architecture)(www.new-frontiers.cc)Exhibition participants: Dietmar Franz, Lukas Göbl, Sebastian Heinemeyer, Lucas Horvath, Claudia Larcher, Markus Leixner, Constantin Luser, Patrick Pregesbauer, Walter Prenner, Franz Riedl, Josef Saller, Florian Unterberger, Nicole Wogg, Marianne LangCompetition jury: Lilli Hollein, Dieter Ronte, Günter Zamp Kelp, and Florian Medicus
