Horror presents “Dos por uno” (Two for one), an exhibition that activates two collective pieces by CRAFT and Tratado Material produced between Mexico and Austria.
On the terrace will be presented “DESTAJOAKKORDARBEIT” performative piece by the collective CRAFT (Manuela Picallo Gil and Oscar Cueto). On this occasion, the collective will produce a live action aimed at the handmade production of a flag. The piece reflects on the idea of work as an ethical, moral and hygienic measure. The collective has invited Roy Meuwissen (NL/CA) to define the content of the textile piece and Doris Steinbichler (AT) to modify the advertisement “se compran colchones” by María del Mar Terrón (MX) that will provide the cadence of the activity.
In the exhibition hall, “Ultramarinos” by Tratado Material (Oscar Cueto, Frida Robles and Ramiro Wong) is presented. The collective invites two groups of artists to create works on the concept of “art and speculation” to be presented in Mexico and Austria. In the first phase of the project, the sound pieces of nine artists living and working in Austria will be broadcasted as a signal; in the same way, nine artists proposed by Horror will create other pieces with the same theme to be presented in Austria. The pieces presented in Mexico will be recorded in extended play (cassette) format and will be available for purchase in both countries as a piece of art. Each EP will cost 200 pesos (10 euros) or can be exchanged for something of similar value if the artist and collector so decide. The participating artists in the first phase are: Alex Iwanov (AT), Alisa Omelianceva (RU), Hui Ye (CH/AT), Joanna Zabielska (PL), Katrin Euler (AT), Margareta Klose (DE), Marlene Lahmer (AT) & Leonhard Pill (D), Nazanin Mehraein (IR) and Sheri Avraham (IL).
Date & Opening time: March 18, 5 p.m.
Location: Salamanca 11, Roma Norte, Mexico City

Walbersdorf, once the center of the mahaleb cherry cultivation. The story of the village and especially that of the family of the last the mahaleb cherry farmer in Austria is told by a single mahaleb cherry branch, whose purpose would have been a walking stick, umbrella handle or pipe. Now reconstructed, this mahaleb cherry branch with its reddish shimmering wood, seems to grow on. Sorrounded by young green mahaleb cherry plants, it presents its leaves, bringing moments of the past into the present. Erwin Lang, other family members and futher participants are talking of labor as identity – from obligations to failures to opportunities. Their voices bring this installation to life and share their memories with visitors to KUGA’s 40th anniversary exhibition.
KUGA – Kulturna zadruga – is intercultural center of this region and reflects its cultural and linguistic diversity. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of KUGA, 40 artists are invited to present 40 works in all their diversity.

“It is as old as creation. There will never be a shortage of it. It’s time to sing the praises of shit,” writes Oliviero Toscani affirmatively about a subject that shapes our understanding of culture, society, hygiene, health, morality, humor and taboo.
Inspired by the name of the exhibition site, different artistic positions are exhibited here, offering humorous approaches to theories on topics such as order, hygiene, disgust, pollution, identity and linguistic interaction. In the process, the repressed comes to the surface via detours, systems of order want to be questioned and bodily excretions cheered.
Through the perspective of the seven artists’ chosen media – video, object, photography and performance – the theme becomes the subject of visual exploration.
The exhibition ‘Dunkle Materien’ (Dark Matter) enables access to social themes and aims to stimulate communication with visitors to the busy Yppenplatz around the multifaceted theme in the art space itself.

MUME: Festival der Platane
MUME (Museo Mexicano/Mexican Museum) is a nomadic anti-museum by artist Oscar Cueto that seeks to create alternate narratives in the decolonial and global migration context, presenting collaborative projects between international curators and artists in Austria. For this edition, Austrian artist Manuela Picallo Gil will present the “Festival der Platane” at the MUME in collaboration with nine other artists.
The three-day “Festival der Platane” proposes a paradigm shift in relation to monument culture. In search of a reference point for resistance, protest and peace, the festival aims to orient the current discourse on monuments towards the mighty shade plane tree, whose roots have been anchored in the soil of Vienna’s first district at Dr. Karl Lueger Square for more than 100 years.

BEWÄHRUNGSPROBE #40 – Artist* talk
The event series Bewährungsprobe by Johannes Franz-Figeac presents two positions of artists living in Vienna and addresses questions about art production. Under which working conditions and with which material do the respective approaches arise in order to negotiate the world that surrounds us in the field of art?
Manuela Picallo Gil uses multimedia objects and installations to question social categorizations in the field of tension between inclusion and exclusion.
Jakub Vrba’s artistic work is mainly composed of drawing, sculpture, video and film. He addresses notions of spectacle, pathos, unpaid labor, and the dictatorship of everyday contingency.
Projekt and Moderation: Johannes Franz-Figeac
Artists: Jakub Vrba and Manuela Picallo Gil
Here you can watch the Bewährungsprobe #40, whitch took place on May 2nd 2022 at 7 pm.
