Curatorial context
The exhibition 'Linda Bilda for Ernst Schmidt jr.' at the Secession delves into the artistic practice of Linda Bilda, whose work critically examines the creation of public discourse through her drawings, publications, and involvement in collectives like the feminist art magazine 'Die weisse Blatt' and 'Artclub Wien'. A central theme is her profound engagement with the work and archives of Austrian avant-garde filmmaker Ernst Schmidt jr. (1938-1988).
This exhibition is not a retrospective of Schmidt jr., but rather uses the archival materials meticulously researched by Bilda to selectively highlight his notable creative output. The presentation aims to situate his work within contemporary art and media discourse by focusing on themes such as the economics of avant-garde film, music, the crossover between film and visual art, success and failure, the preservation and loss of information, and collective artistic practices. Through techniques like photo emulsion and frottage transferred onto the gallery walls, the exhibition organizes these materials around key fields of inquiry. An expanded cinema installation, a temporary exhibition concept, and contributions from contemporary video artists further contextualize Schmidt jr.'s expansive view of film culture and its broader societal relevance.
