EXHIBITION Opening October 11, 7pm**
The Bring In Take Out Living Archive (LA) – LA Exhibition VBKOE edition
The exhibition runs until October 21

The Bring In Take Out Living Archive (LA) continuously takes and uses artistic, creative and research means to create an interactive space that consists of a contemporary art exhibition, laboratory and public archive.

The concept – referring to the (post)Yugoslav space and beyond – is motivated by the feminist strategies of creating and processing a public and transformative archive through art, theory and practice. All LA-editions are produced by an exhibition laboratory (with “work stations” such as the Audio/Video booth, where live artist talks, discussions and interviews are documented and presented; the Perpetuum Mobile – a continuously growing video art compilation as well as documentation of works of other art media; the Reading room, where the LA-questionnaire on feminism and art is filled out and discussed and book presentations happen) through an interactive contemporary art exhibition conceptualized around emerging societal subjects.

Vienna Edition: The Bring In Take Out Living Archive activities in Vienna will take place at the VBKOE and at Open Systems - Zentrum für Kunstprojekte (OS). While at the VBKOE a collaborative installation based on the LA on-line questionnaire on feminism and resulting from the LA Reading Room-Workshop, the LA Audio/Video Booth-documentation, Perpetuum Mobile documentation and Blic Jackpot newspaper by Borjana Mrdja will be on display; the exhibition at the Open Systems will feature artists Andreja Kulunčić (Zagreb), Meta Grgurevič und Urša Vidic (Ljubljana), Borjana Mrdja (Banja Luka) and additional LA-„work stations“ (the Perpetuum Mobile video compilation and other elements of the LA exhibitionLAB.

Parallel to the exhibition opening at the VBKOE, there will be the opening of The Bring In Take Out Living Archive (LA) – LA exhibition_Open Systems _edition at the Zentrum für Kunstprojekte Open Systems (Lassingleithnerplatz 2
, 1020 Vienna).

The initiator of The Bring In Take Out Living Archive is the feminist curatorial group Red Min(e)d: Danijela Dugandžić Živanović, Katja Kobolt, Dunja Kukovec and Jelena Petrović. Coming from different backgrounds (feminist theory, contemporary art, cultural production and activism) and from different places (Ljubljana, Sarajevo, Belgrade and Munich), they live and work at the crossroads of common understanding and methods of researching, (re)presenting, curating and mediating contemporary art.
