This summer Grazer Kunstverein is delighted to present a season of performances with artworks, moving image, sound, text, and workshops that explore the idea of fiction as a method or tool for understanding what it is like to be another (human or nonhuman, real or imaginary). Together with artists we think about thresholds between fiction and reality, about how fiction makes space for agency, empathy and insight, and about how we can work with forms of fiction to imagine forms of consciousness.
The exhibition is dedicated to Elizabeth Costello, a fictional character who appears in publications by the writer J.M. Coetzee. Costello firmly believes in the philosophical value of actively pursuing insight into the conscious experience of animals. The exhibition celebrates the power of fictional voices, acknowledging that listening closely for new voices in the realm of the imagination, can enable us to hear more clearly the most compelling and urgent voices in reality.
Animal Workshops

Friday 12 July 2pm

As part of our current exhibition My Summer is your Winter, we are delighted to announce a series of Animal Workshops with Krõõt Juurak and Alex Bailey. Enrol before 5 July for your place to participate in one of these workshops led by pets. Artists and choreographers Juurak and Bailey, who themselves have often performed specially for pets, will facilitate these short afternoon sessions with a different animal each day. It is their belief that we have a lot to learn from our companion species, so join us in the Kunstverein should you wish to discover more.
The workshops will happen at 5pm on Wednesday 10, Thursday 11 and Saturday 13 July, on Friday 12 July at 2pm at the Grazer Kunstverein. Places are extremely limited so please let us know by email if you wish to attend, and upon which day you would like to come.
