Woof Woof
becoming-animal


Woof Woof is an exhibition of becoming-animal at the Austrian Cultural =
Forum.=20


For humans, animals have had a multiplicity of meanings and functions: =
as food, as pets, as symbols of virtues, ideas and psychological states. =
Animals serve corporations and nations, appearing on flags, in heraldry =
and on logos. But Woof Woof is not an animal theme show addressing these =
concerns it is a becoming-animal. Coined by French theorists Deleuze and =
Guattari, this term means moving away from the anthropomorphic, away =
from human sense into animal non-sense.=20

The exhibition will include drawing, painting, video, sculpture, =
photography and performance from eighteen artists. Michaela Math adopts =
animal personae with her repertoire of cats, snakes, spiders and =
protozoa. Oleg Kulig is known for his performances on Moscow streets and =
various international art venues in which, naked and collared, he =
terrorises passers-by as a dog. Tiago Carniero da Cunha has filmed an =
animal impersonator giving his most convincing ape performance. Imre =
Bukta makes work on his farm, using materials like corn and straw, =
creating playful animal forms. Peter Pommerer will be making a specially =
commissioned wall drawing. David Wilkinson is showing new work using =
found, broken porcelain figures.


The exhibition, which includes artists from Austria, Hungary, Serbia, =
Russia, Brazil and the UK, will open with a performance by Fabienne =
Audeoud and a live horse guard by Be=E1ta Veszely.=20
The archive at the Hungarian Cultural Centre will consist of =
documentation of the participating artists' works and historical =
material including artists such as Antonin Artaud and Jannis Kounnelis. =
On the opening night there will be a performance by David Burrows and =
Bob and Roberta Smith, who recreate Joseph Beuys's performance I like =
America and America likes Me.=20

A book of new writing Woof Woof will be published on the occasion of the =
exhibition. It includes texts by Steve Baker who is the author of the =
Postmodern Animal, the Serbian writer and painter Mileta Prodanovic, the =
art historian L=E1szl=F3 Beke, artist David Wilkinson and the exhibition =
curators.=20

Participating Artists: Fabienne Audeoud, Imre Bukta, David Burrows, =
Tiago Carneiro da Cunha, Gelatin, Gilbert and George, Lola Kov=E1cs, =
Oleg Kulig, Matthew Leahey, Goshka Macuga, Michaela Math, John Russell, =
Sinisa Savic, Bob and Roberta Smith, Peter Pommerer, Be=E1ta Veszely, =
