A Chair of One’s Own (Working title)
In cooperation with the Department Artistic Strategies with Art x Science School for Transformation / University of Applied Arts Vienna, brut Wien presents a performative and installative intervention. A temporary collective of students and artists will occupy the spaces of brut nordwest and invite visitors to follow and experience its work for an afternoon. The project has the working title A Chair of One’s Own.
A chair is an object, a place, a tool. It is where we pause, wait, work, and reflect. It offers stability yet also dictates posture. It shapes how bodies occupy space, position themselves, and relate to other bodies. Both an invitation and a constraint, it embodies rest while simultaneously demanding productivity and performance. In individual and collective performances, students explore these tensions, departing from their own private seating device, transforming them into extensions of their bodies, sites of negotiation, or tools of resistance.
Accessibility
Parts of the project takes place in rehearsal rooms on the 1st floor. They are only accessible via a staircase. There is no elevator available. A barrier-free toilet is located on the ground floor.
