programme by Ana Threat

Forms of artistic appropriation, adaptation and referentiality are the themes of the exhibition Copie Non Conforme, curated by Amina Handke, which opens in the Kunstraum Niederoesterreich on 16 January 2014. The title paraphrases that of a film by Abbas Kiarostami, Copie conforme, which deals with the question of original and copy both in art and life.

In the choice of contributions Handke concentrates on time-based media such as video and photography, but also on dance performance and performance, as the question of the original, the première, is already inherent in these media. Above all in the media of film and video, appropriation in the form of remakes or found footage is an artistic method.
