PIRATE CULTURES: Unter dem Asphalt der Strand

Semmelweisklinik, Hockegasse 37 / Haus 4, 1180 Vienna 8. – , Vernissage: 8.05., 18h Together with actors from Mz* Baltazar’s Laboratory, RAD Performance, Kollektiv Raumstation, Friends & Partners in Crime, the artist collective Sandkasten Syndikat brings a pirate beach to Vienna.

PIRATE CULTURES is a transdisciplinary research that examines piracy as an emancipatory politics of re-appropriation, care and DIY culture. The exhibition revolves around practices of reclaiming the city and the (technology-enabled) self-organization of solidarity networks.

Counter and net cultures grow with and complement the informal city. They create connecting points between physical and virtual spaces.

Based on a series of self-organized initiatives, the exhibition tells of unusual urban routes, digital spheres free from existing power relations, resistance against patriarchal body politics, the bypass of conventional media infrastructures, open source systems and peer production – of struggles and utopian desires.
