<p>A group exhibition and public theoretical symposium</p>

<p>Comprised of an international group exhibition and a two-day
symposium, the project develops in the field of inquiry and
investigation of hijacking and ready-made in contemporary art in
relation to the cinema industry, and the possible transmission of
properties between them. It investigates the space and the
confusion of the border between image and representation, and
specially focuses on the ruins of representation, what are the
possibilities for translation, and where the idea of original and
copy is lost. It follows the social, political and aesthetic
content created as a dialectic clash between invisible and
visible, or shifts between the notions of production and
consumption, reality and fiction, creating temporalities
in-between, bringing together a diversity of art practices that
offer singular tactics of speculative misuse, repetition, faithful
mimicry and détournement of existing images, visual icons,
narrative patterns – re-enacting, rewriting and translating them.
It marks a shift from knowledge to fight and from fight to passion
and dance, involving the audience in the complicity in a crime of
détournement, making them 'committed spectators.'</p>

<p>Public Theoretical Symposium</p>
<p>Museum Halls, WUK, Währinger Straße 59, 1090 Wien</p>
<p>19-20 January 2012</p>
<p>"The first entirely detourned film in the history of cinema: Can
Dialectics Break Bricks?</p>
<p>A film produced by the person listed here [Yeo Ban Yee], who
naturally has no idea what has happened to his film. Let it be
said: all films can be detourned: potboilers, Vardas, Pasolinis,
Caillacs, Godards, Bergmans, as well as good spaghetti westerns
and all commercials."</p>
<p>From: René Viénet, Can Dialectics Break Bricks?</p>
<p>The theoretical symposium is organized in conjunction with the
exhibition project of the same name, and serves to contextualize
the exhibition and the artists' works and raise a public critical
discussion among scholars, the artists and a broad audience. The
exhibition and the theoretical symposium reflect upon each other
in order to theorize the work of the artists and deepen the
understanding of the topics and subjects addressed in the
theoretical framework of the project, and issues concerning the
relation between contemporary art and cinema.</p>
