The artist Sandra Hauser and the gelding Don Orèo go on a journey. For short stages they stay in different places. During the day, the artist practices with the horse, they meet people, discover places and intervene in situations related to Sandra Hauser’s search and desire for change. Nighttime can provide space for short, unexpected performances, where passersby happen to witness the dreamlike illuminated passage of a rider with her horse. Hauser’s performative activations of space tell of the socio-cultural imprinting of man by the animal and thereby carry the connection between man and animal visibly and tangibly into public space.
PERFORMATIVE SPACE ACTIVATION FRIDAY, JULY 8, 2022 / 20:30
Starting point: Vienna Trotting Club at the Krieau
Additionally, there will be announced as well as unannounced performative space activations from June 27 to July 17, 2022.
KÖR Kunst im öffentlichen Raum Wien
The task of KÖR is to (re)animate the public space of the city of Vienna as a place of socio-political and cultural debate by means of permanent and temporary artistic projects. In this way, the identity of the city and individual neighborhoods is to be strengthened. KÖR understands art in public space not as decoration, but as an offer for debate and as a symbolic marking of previously culturally abstinent territories.
