Pirate Cultures & Plunder Sonics:
MAYDAY!
Opening: May 1st 2024, 18:00
A project with the artist collective
Sandkasten Syndikat, in Collaboration with Kollektiv Raumstation, RAD Performance, Mz* Baltazar’s Laboratory & Friends
curated by Magdalena Scheicher
MAYDAY! MAYDAY!
On May 1st, the artist collective Sandkasten Syndikat hijacks the ‚cultural steamboat‘ at Praterstern and sends out an emergency signal to allied cultural workers: MAYDAY!
Together with actors from Mz* Baltazar’s Laboratory, Kollektiv Raumstation, RAD Performance and friends, we are looking for critical-creative answers to precarious living and working conditions. The exhibition revolves around topics of re-appropriation, hijacking and hacking, DIY cultures, commoning, care and the (technology-enabled) self-organization of solidarity networks.
