Nora Schultz was born in Frankfurt in 1975 and lives and works in Boston, Mass. Closely following the instructions, drawings, renderings and notation of the proposal, the exhibition will be a traveling show, an all-encompassing installation in which Atlas and The Day appear as the central figures. In the sense of would you say this is the day?, distance is a means of production.
The exhibition at Secession will be the realization of a proposal in several parts that Schultz submitted within the accompanying publication. In performative interactions, she often develops large installations that involve and take possession of the venue’s structure and sometimes project beyond its confines. Recently, she has employed various cameras (GoPro, video drone, etc.) as automated “co-producers” whose contributions to the creative process she cannot fully control and which have their own internal dynamics and probe the artist/author’s changing position vis-à-vis its operation. The Vienna Secession is pleased to announce the exhibitions by Nora Schultz, Rosalind Nashashibi and Fiona Connor.Įveryday objects, language, recording systems, and cultural displacements play key roles in Schultz’s art, as do the observation and critical activation of the exhibition space and the artist herself as the work’s producer.
