Entstehungsgeschichten
ein Vortrag von Cordula Daus im Rahmen der Reihe ‚relatifs‚
Kepler Salon
Rathausgasse 5
4020 Linz
In ihrem Vortrag spricht Cordula Daus über ihr aktuelles künstlerisches Forschungsprojekt „Outer Woman“ und die Herausforderung, sich einer entfremdenden Praxis, der Ektogenese, auf künstlerische und performative Weise zu nähern. Gemeinsam mit den Künstler*innen Sebastian Bark, [M] Dudeck und Charlotta Ruth, arbeitet sie an einer neuen Phänomenologie der Schwangerschaft bzw. des Schwangergehens. Dabei kommen verschiedene Verfahrensweisen zum Einsatz: Séancen, Atemübungen, Fragebögen, Mythen, Konversationsspiele und andere Formen experimentellen Ahnens.
Eine Veranstaltung der Kunstuniversität Linz (Abteilungen Kulturwissenschaft sowie Kunstgeschichte und Kunsttheorie) in Kooperation mit dem Kepler Salon

Artist Residency in Millstatt
I’m very happy to have been invited to a residency at Villa North in Millstatt/Austria. Laurien Bachmann and Sebastian Six have created an amazing space to work and to co-inhabit. I’m enjoying the deers in the garden, Peter North’s book treasures and The Lake. Besides that: Working on Outer Woman, the podcast. I’ll be back in August!

Das Aufhebungsspiel
Outer Woman, Teil 1
Zentrum Fokus Forschung
Rustenschacherallee 2-4
1020 Wien
Eintritt frei
Cordula Daus mit Sebastian Bark, [M] Dudeck und Charlotta Ruth
Sprache: Englisch/Deutsch
Derzeit lagern Millionen von eingefrorenen menschlichen Embryonen in Laboren weltweit. Frühreife Lämmer wachsen in Plastikbeuteln heran. Mäuse-Embryonen werden in Bioreaktoren aus Stammzellen kreiert. Wir behaupten, Ektogenese, die Schaffung eines lebendigen Wesens außerhalb eines Körpers, ist Realität. Unter dieser Voraussetzung sucht das Projekt Outer Woman neue Perspektiven auf den menschlichen Reproduktionskomplex.
In Das Aufhebungsspiel wollen wir die kulturelle Praxis der Schwangerschaft einer Revision unterziehen. Aus welchen Elementen setzt sie sich zusammen? Was ist zu bewahren; was ist entbehrlich? Wir nähern uns dieser Aufgabe durch Live Action Role Playing, durch Übungen des Vorausahnens und Wunderns. Entfremdung ist unsere Methode.
Die frohe Botschaft lautet: Wir sind schwanger. Die Revolution ist da. Der Bauch ist leer. Das Werk ist unser!
Outer Woman wird gefördert vom Austrian Science Fund (FWF): V 797 Richter Programm inkl. Richter-PEEK.

Automated Writing
Workshop
Zentrum Fokus Forschung
Rustenschacherallee 2-4
1020 Vienna
This workshop invites to a series of exercises that strategically confuse the binaries between free/automated writing and human/machine thinking. We will play with words, code and the relational space that emerges between participants. The focus is on how analogue and digitally interfered constrained writing can support experimental and collaborative thinking processes.
The exercises are part of Questionology an ongoing art project and research environment conceived by writer-artist Cordula Daus and choreographer Charlotta Ruth. Together with our collaborator, the programmer Simon Repp and the participants of the workshop we will activate some of Questionology’s core elements. The workshop takes place within the Almost Doctor Festival by Charlotta Ruth & friends.

Wording – Writing in Public Space
Vasa, Finland
with: Emma Cocker, Andrea Coyotzi, Cordula Daus, Vidha Saumya, Lena Séraphin
conceived and organised by Lena Séraphin, and funded by the Pro Artibus Foundation.
A group of 5 writers will come together to write on the market square Salutorget in Vasa, Finland. The aim is to investigate collaborative writing in public space as a method and to try out different writing assignments – especially with a focus on the implications of writing in public space. Wording is inspired by the French writer Georges Perec and his experimental book Tentative d’épuisement d’un lieu parisien, or An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris.

Affinities + Urgencies in Language-based Artistic Research II
How can we support the emergence of different species of proximity and community within the field of expanded language-based practices: we-ness and near-ness; participation; observation; conversation; caring/curation; listening; hosting; guesting; audiencing; supporting; bearing witness; hearing out; sharing time; sharing resources, world-building?
A day-long online gathering comprised of a series of sessions led or facilitated by different individuals or groups for engaging with a specific thematic focus, a field of attraction and resonant affinity, or a matter of urgency relating to language-based artistic research. For more information on the programme, see here.
Organized by: Emma Cocker, Cordula Daus, Lena Séraphin and Alexander Damianisch
