The exhibition 'Stone Telling' delves into the influence of feminist science fiction literature on contemporary art, exploring queer-feminist speculative storytelling. It showcases feminist utopias and questions hierarchical narratives, simulating an 'archaeology of the future'.
The exhibition project 'Stone Telling' examines the reception of feminist science fiction literature within contemporary art and its potential for queer-feminist, speculative storytelling. The title is inspired by a narrator in Ursula K. Le Guin's 1985 book, 'Always Coming Home'. The selected works reflect on science fiction as a means to conceive differently and formulate social utopias. In contrast to binary modes of thought, feminist science fiction offers potential approaches to contemporary issues rooted in patriarchal, colonial, and xenophobic narratives, echoing Donna J. Haraway's assertion that 'It matters what matters we use to think other matters with; it matters what stories we tell to tell other stories with'. Curated by Daniela Hahn and Andrea Lehsiak, based on an idea by Chantal Küng, this exhibition presents feminist utopias, challenges hierarchical storytelling, and creates a simulated 'archaeology of the future' within the Kunstraum Niederoesterreich. The exhibition brings together works that contemplate the future through the lens of speculative fiction, particularly from a feminist perspective. It seeks to offer alternative narratives and ways of thinking that move beyond established, often destructive, paradigms. The artists' contributions engage with themes of social change, environmental concerns, and the deconstruction of dominant, exclusionary stories, providing a space for imagining different societal structures and possibilities.
