curated by Severin Dünser and Christian Kobald
13 May - 25 June, 2011

The contribution investigates the relationship between object, biography, narrative and display through fragments of works by two Eastern European artists from different countries and generations: young Lithuanian artist Liudvikas Buklys (*1984) and Slovakian documenta participant Stano Filko (*1937), complemented by a third, performative contribution by Canadian artist Michele Di Menna (*1980).The storyboard: biography, anecdote, treasure hunt, classicism, Siberia, the repository, colour, the gesamtkunstwerk, the house, id, cognition, pause, sekt, precarious. The set: three boards, white, rockets, the tasche, a statement, a catalogue, an LP, animation, two objects, a story, a performance, that which remains.

The curators would like to thank Fedor Blaščák for his help during the preparation for the show.
