„Material Talk“ by Victoria Gouzikovski, St.A.i.R (Styrian Artist in Residence).

 

Victoria Gouzikovski is a Bergen-based artist working with architecture, theory, and counter-hegemonic practices. Their work is research-driven and this practice evolves through two practice-specific mediums: the “exhibitionary installation” that interprets artistic research through site-specific display formats, and “art-architectures”, spatial works that appropriate the structures and aesthetics of local architecture. 

 

In this talk, Victoria presents three previous works that preface current research in Graz and surrounding areas. The presentation goes into techniques of counter-hegemonic practices, site-specificity, platforms for art production, and the construction of the artist-subject in a transdisciplinary context. The talk will focus on previous works that set the precedent to this current research during the residency at Styria-Artists-in-Residence.
