The Assembly of Writings
with Federico Nicolao
A collective exploration of the new relations between contemporary writing and artistic practice.
20.11.2012, Conférence, DJset et studio visit de Gerwald Rockenschaub
L’artiste autrichien Gerwald Rockenschaub (né en 1952) est associé depuis le début des années 1980 à la mouvance néo-géo qui emploie le vocabulaire plastique de l’avant-garde abstraite. Le néo-géo a instillé la symbolique consumériste du pop’art dans l’art minimal américain. Pour autant, les oeuvres de Rockenschaub ne sauraient se cantonner dans une catégorie de style. Ses animations Flash, ses Pralinen et ses Intarsien ancrés dans la tradition du tableau de chevalet, ses objets muraux, ses sculptures et ses installations se nourrissent autant des thèmes de la modernité que de notre culture quotidienne. Ils en extraient la quintessence par le biais de la simplification et la condensation radicales qui sont les deux fondements de la méthode de Rockenschaub.
Il est également actif dans le domaine de la musique électronique.

In the empty spaces I find pieces of dreams fields and water, of the forgotten green. A stratification of memories that leads to reveal experiences in natural landscapes, real but also places suspended between memory and the dreamlike, creating through geometric and repetitive shapes a space of contemplation on places, to find them again; postcards of a fragile and continuously changing landscape.

Some say the body arrives first, and the soul takes longer. This installation begins with that delay, in the tension between presence and absence. Instructions of Rematriation is a video installation projected onto a wind-moved fabric, a surface that never fully settles. In front, white Rimax chairs evoke everyday spaces of waiting across Latin America: porches, patios, sidewalks. The work follows the passing of a single day, tracing the slow return to the body after displacement. Through video, writing, textile, and sound, the installation holds a kind of return, not geopolitical, but personal and ancestral: a political and spiritual reconnection with what was once left behind.

ZONA DI SACRIFICIO is a film study that fuses documentary, ethnography, and poetic montage around the Fiume Tara—Taranto’s revered “miracle river.” Through a tapestry of memories, legends, visions, and personal testimonies, the film explores how this sacred source has sustained local identity and resilience, even as the encroachment of the ILVA steelworks has turned the surrounding landscape into a literal “sacrifice zone.” It is both a visual elegy to a once-pure watercourse and a poignant reflection on environmental violence, tracing the uneasy coexistence of spiritual reverence and industrial devastation in a community striving to reclaim its voice.
