Curatorial context
The exhibition "Stormy Weather" delves into the pervasive influence of the internet's 'cloud' metaphor, examining its dual nature as an abstract, powerful digital space and a concrete reality with significant impacts on the real world and climate. It questions how artists interact with this non-human counterpart and whether the metaphors or realities of the cloud become affective carriers in their reception. Featuring works by Susanna Flock & Leonhard Müllner, Fragmentin, Stefan Karrer, Till Langschied, Marc Lee, Yein Lee, Christiane Peschek, Total Refusal, and Christoph Wachter & Mathias Jud, the exhibition surveys the field between ephemeral digital infrastructures and their material manifestations. The project is realized in cooperation with the Centre culturel suisse. Paris, where it will be shown following its run at Kunstraum Niederoesterreich.
