CHRISTOPH SCHLINGENSIEF: Dialogue Tour with Aino Laberenz

Artist Christoph Schlingensief (1960–2010) was a radical humanist who demolished the boundaries between art, theater, film, and politics and negotiated the exigencies of the present through his complex artistic practice. His productions challenged his audience to assume an active stance—between irritation and insight, onus, and reflection. With an exhibition eponymous with his 2005 quote It’s not my problem anymore!, the MAK together with the Vienna Festival (Wiener Festwochen) is hosting the artist’s first solo show in Austria, the very country he ushered to the center of his social contradictions with his event Bitte liebt Österreich – Erste österreichische Koalitionswoche [Please Love Austria—First Austrian Coalition Week] (2000) in context of the Vienna Festival.
