Das Cathrin Pichler Archiv: Von RPU-Artaud-001 bis DAV-Plakate-029
The exhibition is examining the written estate of curator and academic Cathrin Pichler (1946–2012).
The works in the show stem largely from an eponymous publication project that invited artists to interpret, rearrange, locate and (re)visualize the near 4,000 archival documents of the Cathrin Pichler Archive with reference to their own artistic-research practice. The way in which the contributors link research and exhibition projects, expand on them from their own perspectives, or delve into the structural mechanisms of the archive parallels Cathrin Pichler’s ongoing endeavour of connecting different disciplines to make them mutually enriching.
