out of sight, seen

How can a space of historical closure be made accessible through artistic appropriation? What does the change from protective storage to (semi-) public presentation mean? These questions are examined from cultural-historical, economic, psychological and social perspectives. In addition, the flip side of preservation will be discussed: losing, disregarding and denying. For not all goods and ideas of cultural production are stored and cared for equally. Some are lost - perhaps intentionally by their authors. The exhibition brings together nine young artists and a curatorial collective whose practice was supported by Bank Austria for two years. The works of S()fia Braga, Karolin Braegger, Sarah Fripon, Jojo Gronostay, Camille Holowka, Katharina Hölzl, Bianca Phos, Sarah Rinderer and Julia Zastava resonate with central aspects of storage: value, memory, accessibility and security.
