Hallo!

Der zweite Ausstellungstag hat begonnen und hier nur für einen Augenblick eine Information zu den Öffnungszeiten. Die sind heute noch nicht geregelt. Ich bemü mich sie für die nächsten Tage zu organisieren und dann auf diesem Blog zu posten.

Gestern war die außergewöhnlich schöne Vernissage und ich bedanke mich herzlich bei all jenen, die vorbeigeschaut haben. Auch von dem gestrigen Abend werde ich noch einige Impressionen hochladen.

Hier ein, zwei Bilder um einen allgemeineren Eindruck zu bekommen.





Der künstlerische Prozess lässt sich, wie bei der Vernissage erwänt, auch auf diesem Blog verfolgen.

Ich wünsche Ihnen einen schönen Tag,

Masha Jaklitsch

Text

UNDER THE SEA


Under The Sea is a text that I started in 2006 living in Berlin. Actually it was on holidays in Graz, I spent in the Margaretenbad basically, where I have written the first pages. I then continued irregularly for years and years, also in Paris where I attended Ecole Jacques Lecoq, and in 2021, all beginning in 2019, decided to do the fairy tale Under The Sea x Searching For Bluebeard. I worked on this going with the flow within the context of my studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, where I used to sit in the playground trying to see how one could render this increasingly existential dystopia we live through more utopic. Under The Sea x Metamorphosis; Die Vase Meiner Oma is its continuation in Vienna and Graz and my studio exhibition with the title Under The Sea - Meta 1 the context of these two texts.



under the sea X searching for bluebeard:


All of the text is grounded in Carl Gustav Jung's theory of the collective subconscience and the archetypes. This fairytale adaption of the Bluebeard material is, therefore, based on the understanding that in a world of systemic and systematic discrimination - such as sexism, homophobia, anti-semitism, anti-islamism, racism, xenophobia - against people from various demographic backgrounds Bluebeard is not one person who can be singled out. Rather Bluebeard becomes everyone and noone. Bluebeard is (in) the corrupt system, which is increasingly extreme, that in its capitalistic flexibility uses and instrumentalises each and everybody when needed to uphold the hierarchies that are to be described as problematic in more than one sense (environmental desctruction, climate change, war, economies). The story of Under The Sea x Searching For Bluebeard starts when it becomes clear that some of the remedies to keep the system (city running break down. Bluebeard has undermined the social and the decay has become too severe to be ignored. To counter this society itself has to become active and see how to be human, the human rights and dignity can be defended. It is up to the people in this dytopic city to add utopia to the bigger picture. It is done going with the flow and through communication. Parts of the city are turning and twisting in difficult to understand dynamics. All important people with an ability to meaningfully interpret the complexity of the situation decide to work together to make for a change. Between the coffeeshop (café) and the opéra, there is synthesis and poetry, intellectual discourse that aims at a metamorphosis to heal those parts of all society that were broken. At the end of the text there is a group of 'personnages' with quite a bit of agency threatened to be marginalised. At the end Bluebeard, at least in the text in the text/play in the play "Searching For Bluebeard"- a gesamtkunstwerk at the opéra in the city - has to flees...



under the sea X metamorphosis; die vase meiner oma

... And so have the 'personnages'. The Barista, who owns the coffeeshop, has to close it, due to corruption. Orlando and Ziggy take the train to meet Il Maestro and the Set Designer 1 in another city. There they live in a shared apartment in the beginning and the Barista, Piercing and the Neighbour join. The opéra grants Il Maestro a space (a let down factory outside of the city) as an unofficial rehearsal space to continue the work on "Searching For Bluebeard". Together with Maître de Danse, Ziggy and She/Elle the idea is discussed to add a part to the choreography healing. Where the second version is to be presented is unclear yet. Due to the dire economic situation in this dystopic nature mortes world the idea of a pop-up soup kitchen comes about and each of the 'personnages' helps in this Barista's project. Going back and forth from the city to the let down factory becomes difficult. There are controls so that container living is developed on site; Container Paradis. She/Elle is there and He too as well as some dancers who could not be disencouraged by the recent rehearsal space.

A nouveau cirque with its tent and caravan, two horses and a dog arrive and it is agreed on to share the space. People from the city start to visit this official rehearsal space of the opéra that has become a self-organised artist community constructing minimal living. Then the site is threatened to be ? while Il Maestro is offered a project in the museum and the Barista starts negotiations for a new cafe. Orlando is on a residency in Portugal and *all, including Ziggy are with the Barista's catering for pool parties for some income and art projects. The personnages are back in the city and in the house they lived in before and the Barista's cafe opens.

Under The Sea x Metamorphosis; Die Vase Meiner Oma asks questions like: How to make the best of a dire situation going with the flow? How to get back to where you belong or find/make new places where you do? How can one heal? How can society? The Metamorphosis is an inbetween space. The text moves through different phases and spaces. At the end, that of this part of the text, the situation is better than it was before. The metamorphosis, though, continues.


-In this text there is a * which in linguistics is a sign to mark ambiguity in semantics-

Hello everyone!

Having been quite busy with things from when the exhibition UNDER THE SEA - META 3 was over, I would like to inform everyone that there will be a continuation of the progress of the work on the quartos &, of course, the choreography. To be painting had not exactly been planned while it seemed necessary to add some colour to the exhibition space. I am always fascinated by how a painting can open up a room and render the atmosphere in a different, hopefully more agreable or agréable, way.

However, the next days (or weeks) will be all of typing in the handwritten texts - and there are many - of Under The Sea x Searching For Bluebeard & Under The Sea x Metamorphosis; Die Vase Meiner Oma! and concerning myself with the layout.

Updates will be posted here on this blog as well as on instagram (Instagram mashajaklitsch, Instagram undertheseameta)
.

I am in appreciation of the numerous visitors having dropped by! It was a challenging and beautiful experience to do this exhibition  @ Herr Josef's Feinkost  &  Mimi's Graz.

Stay tuned!
