AIL Ping-Pong #1: Liquidity
Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab
Manuel Cyrill Bachinger, Bartosz Dolhun, Annika Eschmann, Karina Fernandez, Miloš Vučićević
Drawing on
the history of the ‘Postsparkasse’ as a former bank, AIL invited five artists to engage with a concept known for its economic
context.
While primarily an economic term,
‘liquidity’ can be interpreted in various ways and across many contexts – from reflections on fluidity and adaptability to
explorations of the shifting nature of social structures, relationships, or identities, as well as interpretations of transactions
and value.
Presented in the small vitrine of the Otto Wagner Postsparkasse five graduates of the
University of Applied Arts Vienna open a window into the diverse artistic practices and languages of Angewandte alumni, offering
a range of perspectives that explore parallels, contrasts, or extensions within the given thematic framework.
In
his work Manuel Cyrill Bachinger deals with auditory and visual forms of expression and often with transformative processes
that manifest themselves in experimental and installation-based ways. In doing so, our perception and understanding of phenomena
and technologies are challenged and encouraged to reflect on our interaction with them. Manuel Cyrill Bachinger is alumni
of the department of Digital Art and graduated in 2024.
Bartosz Dolhun graduated 2016 in Drawing and Printmaking,
and now focuses on object-oriented work. His sculptures combine materials, especially wood, starting with found objects and
developing intuitively. His work emphasizes processes, using diverse techniques. The use of 'low-cost' materials contrasts
their value with craftsmanship. This focus on process extends to his installative works, where the production journey becomes
integral.
Annika Eschmann studied Transdisciplinary Arts and Drawing & Printmaking at the University of Applied
Arts Vienna and graduated in 2020; and also studied Contemporary Art Practices at the Srishti Institute of Art, Design and
Technology in Bangalore. Annika’s artistic practice is rooted in drawing and printmaking, exploring processes of translation
and abstraction in images. It investigates their influence, limitations, and potential as well as the meanings generated and
transformed through these reproductive processes.
Karina Fernandez holds a Master’s degrees in Fine Arts and Visual
Arts (UNA, Buenos Aires), and graduated at the department of Digital Art in 2023. Born in Buenos Aires, she lives and works
in Vienna today. Her transdisciplinary practice addresses global issues such as environmental degradation and consumerism,
operating at the verge of bio and multimedia art through site-specific, kinetic, and interactive works. Her installations
feature plants, fibers, light, water, sound, bioplastics, motors, and microcomputers.
Miloš Vučićević is an artist
and researcher whose work explores the intricate intersections of ecology and migration. With a passion for understanding
the delicate balance between human movement and environmental change, and its impact on people, he delves into the stories
and experiences that shape his own perspective and the world he documents. Most of his interests are associated with the political
and social paradigms that exist in society, where he endeavours to express his ideas through performative, object-oriented,
and video-based works. Miloš Vučićević graduated at the department of Art&Science in 2023.
