Curatorial context
Kunsthalle Wien presents 'Burn & Gloom! Glow & Moon! Thousand Years of Troubled Genders,' the most comprehensive exhibition to date of Vienna-based artist and filmmaker Katrina Daschner. Curated by Övül Ö. Durmuşoğlu, the exhibition spans Daschner's prolific career from the 1990s to the present, encompassing sculpture, textile art, music, performance, community-based work, and most prominently, film.
Daschner's practice consistently challenges patriarchal mores and societal norms in Western society, often through proposals of corporeal fluidity and self-scripted performances involving Vienna's queer community. Her stylized approach plays with the boundaries of human and non-human, exposing the artificiality of the gendered binary and its associated prejudices. The exhibition uses textile-based works and threading strategies to connect her stories, stages, and characters, creating an immersive environment that dismantles monuments of white patriarchal heteronormativity with a mix of pain and joy.
