STR at Kunsthalle 2012

As pioneers of digital culture, Elisa Rose and Gary Danner have been developing audiovisual art and live performances, electronic music and net art for the last twenty-five years. Station Rose’s “Gunafa Clubbing”, which began in 1988, was the first art form in the world in a club format. In it, Elisa Rose (images, internet) and Gary Danner (sound) connected electronic audiovisual art with the internet in a live performance.
The first “Gunafa Clubbings” took place at the beginning of the 1990s in Frankfurt am Main and Vienna but also, for instance in San Francisco, Hamburg and Berlin. This was at a time when Techno, club culture, Projection Art and the World Wide Web was still in its infancy.

To celebrate the digital quarter century (1988-2013), Station Rose will once again put on one of its legendary performances in the Kunsthalle Wien.

"Digital Quarter Century" AV/Performance

AVsession02-MQ ______________________logo-DQC

performance:  "A/V Living Room Session #2" 

special performative tribute 01 to "Digital Quarter Century"

"Digital Quarter Century" program 2013.

The title is program, because 2013 will be a special year.

Station Rose/STR steers towards a 25-year “Digital Quarter Century “.
A quarter-century ago, Elisa Rose & Gary Danner opened the station in Vienna´s 4th district, Margaretenstr. 26, exactly on March 11th 1988. They switched on an entire district, which thus became an art center.
Even if it took galleries 10 years to move in, the fourth district is cited as an art district in tourist guides today.
After that, STR´s trip into Cyberspace, as well as the move to Frankfurt took place. Today STR are known as Pioneers of Digital Culture worldwide.
Since 2011 STR is back in Vienna, and has moved to the Museumsquartier recently.
STR was awarded the Lifetime Award for their artistic work by the City of Linz in 2012.

The audiovisual performance at Raum D/Museumsquartier is the start-up-sequence for the Digital Quarter Century.

content: The second in a series of "audiovisual performances at low volume", which are staged on Sunday afternoons. Station Rose´s digital A/V-performances are continued in a new setting at Museumsquartier: "Sound system meets projections meet re-materialization". Digital visual (Elisa Rose) and sound (Gary Danner) loops are the basis of improvisations, analog add-ons like vocals or guitar flow in. Elisa Rose & Gary Danner have been working on this live audiovisual artform since 1991. The audience is able to follow the process over projections and P.A. The artists will build an installation with analog and digital elements, perform live several times in the afternoon, will upgrade the room to an A/V-playground, and provide social gatherings to their guests. STR-A/V-performances took place in the clubculture, in galleries, museums and festivals during the last 20 years, now they will transform Raum D.

To make a contribution to the MQ Summer of Fashion digital artists Station Rose go back in time, dive into their archives and show videoworks from their early fashion projects.

The artists started to make fashion performances in 1983, initiating Vienna´s fashion movement, labeled "U-mode" later. Elisa Rose was a student at Karl Lagerfeld´s class at Die Angewandte, and Gary Danner played live music with his band "Die Nervoesen Voegel". They worked in this mixed form of art, including performance, music, video and fashion mainly in the 80-ies. Nevertheless fashion is still part of their art today.

After being active abroad for over 20 years, next to activities in Vienna throughout the years, STR´s Elisa Rose and Gary Danner are back home in Vienna. In February 2011 their second base in Frankfurt a.M. was abandoned until further notice, and since then Station Rose´s headquarter is in Vienna again.

Station Rose/STR extend their presence at Museumsquartier, where they have been active since June, and continue to show the media installation "Station Rose is Back/STRIB_01" at V_port.

During the exhibition diverse STR-Field-Duty activities are planned, the next one - "Stationsbetrieb 02" - will take place Friday, 9.9., from 8 - 11 p.m. The field duty-activities at V_port at MQ continue now what STR had begun in the 4th district in 1988.

During the installation STRIB_01 STR will do upgrades step by step, and perform and interact live as artists.

Audiovisual installation STRIB_01 has been upgraded for Stationsbetrieb 02 after the summer.

The soundtrack has been refined, samples have been replaced and relocated, aural rooms redesigned.
Likewise the visual part has been upgraded, and is more in sync with sound now. Water as a theme is still a leitmotiv, gets a renewal with samples from the Venice lagoon as well as from the Danube.
The materialization continues, pieces of art made from fabric result from freezing the audiovisual flow, merge with the installation´s digital information, meander out from the shop window to the STReet.
-> The subject of "Recycling Surplus to Save Nature" plays a significant role, the used material´s sensuality meets new digital compositions.

At the coming Stationsbetrieb, neighbourly relations get cultivated at the MQ. Ready for communication, STR gets in touch with others, e.g. with monochrom, eSel.at and others. The STReet of quartier 21 becomes the shared meeting point. For this occasion, monochrom will organize a hackbus community special event (http://www.hackbus.info).

To all this you are cordially invited! Elisa Rose & Gary Danner

STR verlängert ihre Präsenz im Museumsquartier, wo sie seit Juni aktiv ist, und bespielt den V_port mit der Medieninstallation "Station Rose is Back/STRIB_01" weiter.


"Eine subtile audiovisuelle Intervention an einem urbanen Transitort der Kunst, die auch lange nach dem Verlassen noch im Hirn weiterbrummt." Didi Neidhart

:// german
Im Laufe der Ausstellung sind Stationsbetriebe geplant, der nächste - "Stationsbetrieb 02" - findet am FR, den 9.9.2011um 20h statt. Im Muqua wird somit eine Reihe fortgesetzt, die in der Station im 4.Bezirk 1988- 1991 gestartet wurde. Im Laufe der Zeit nimmt STR prozessuale STRIB_01- Installations-Updates vor, und wird zu gewissen Momenten als Künstler vor Ort agieren, performen.
Die audiovisuelle Installation STRIB_01 wurde nun nach dem Sommer für den Stationsbetrieb 02 upgedatet.
Der Soundtrack zur Installation STRIB_01 wurde verfeinert, Samplebausteine wurden ersetzt und modular umgestellt.
Ebenso wurde die visuelle Information einem Upgrade unterzogen, die Verflechtung mit der Musik weiter intensiviert.
Das Thema Wasser ist visuell nach wie vor ein Leitmotiv, erfährt ein nachsommerliches Venice_Meeres-Update unter paralleler Verwendung von Donau-Samples.
Die Verstofflichung schreitet weiter voran, neue Stoffarbeiten materialisieren sich aus dem gefreezten audiovisuellenFluss, verbinden sich mit der digitalen Information der Installation, mäandern aus dem Schaufenster heraus auf die
STRasse. Das Thema "Recycling Surplus to Save Nature" ist in der Produktion prominent eingesetzt. Die Sinnlichkeit von used material trifft auf neue digitale AV-Kompositionen.

Bei dem kommenden Stationsbetrieb 02 werden auch nachbarschaftliche MQ-Beziehungen gepflegt. Die kommunikations-bereite STR gets in touch with others, u.a durch Vernerdungen mit Monochrom & eSel.at, etc. Die STRasse des quartier 21 ist der gemeinsame Treffpunkt.
Sie sind dazu herzlich eingeladen.

In february 2011 STR closed their other basis in Frankfurt, after 20
years of STRategy and activity there.
"Den Blick aus dem Panoramafenster des Wohnturms im Frankfurter Nordend kennen viele: Skyline und Frankfurter Stadtverkehr wird des künftig nicht mehr geben in den visuellen Arbeiten von Elisa Rose, während Gary Danner elektronisch und mit seiner Gitarre den Sound mit den Bildern verbindet, hervorruft, wiederumspiegelt. Der Arbeits-und Wohnort hoch über Frankfurt ist geräumt... Weil sich, wie sie finden, in Frankfurt nicht mehr allzuviel tut, schon gar nicht in der Medienkunst und der Musik. Den „Postkrisenkapitalismus“ und die Gentrifizierung des einstmals bohemehaften Stadtteils Bornheim haben die beiden Künstler als lähmend erfahren, sagen sie, es fehlten der Austausch, die neuen Impulse." ...................Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 17.2.2011

2) In between the move 2 Station Rose book-presentations happened at Austrian Cultural Forum London & at Furtherfield space in London in february 2011.
"The Digital Art of Station Rose started in Vienna in 1988, at a time when the Web
still was far beyond mainstream, when Mondo 2000 never had heard about the music
genre "Techno", when future net-art-critics still mostly were university students,
and when the Iron Curtain was surrounding Austria´s east, south east and north
border.......
The latest art of Station Rose refracts the logistics and glitches of the Internet
through the deceptively low-fi aesthetic of contemporary art's installations and
performances. "Twenty Digital Years Plus" shows how this fits into their history
of using the viruses of visual, verbal and computer language to find insightful
ways of conceptualising digital culture".

___ _____"axis + nature_____crisis____money_- Recycling Surplus to save Nature".
radio-art production with lots of guitar & a good-humoured Elisa Rose.

Following one of the leitmotifs, "New Media Arte Povera", of this years STR-Jingle for the radiostation ORF (in a tradition of 22 years now), this time Gary Danner made prominent use of analogue instruments, besides shredded samples, recycled and re-used.

Part 03 "axis + nature" is about "Frankfurt - Vienna -Cyberspace - a route that is more than hot".
One of STR´s contributions to a final victory over capitalism (as we know it....) still is
* "Recycling surplus to save nature!"

In part 04 ""MONEY MONEY MONEY" - as a follow up sequence - STR drops this remark:

"What about ART with basic income for everyone - to change the world - to change the world -
- basic income for everyone".

:// field research : capitalism gets weirder everyday__ the artists experience that firsthand in Frankfurt on a daily basis. Their question "What is the cosiest place in the world?" gets not answered by the artists, but is only displayed instead.

STATION ROSE/STR are again <active> in their actual home-town Frankfurt with the AV-installation &
performance "Close-Up_410" at Kunsthalle Schirn, Kabinett 2.

Again this year for "Nacht der Museen", Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung commissioned Station Rose to create the "F.A.Z. Media Lounge". STR will set up an audiovisual installation, plus change parameters live sporadically inside.

While last year´s installation for F.A.Z. at Staedel museum stayed more settled in form of a DVD-loop of 20mins, this year´s installation at Kunsthalle Schirn - going for as long as 7 hours (7pm-2am) - includes live-performative moments, where Elisa Rose & Gary Danner will actively change/update their AV-room.

This marathonesque installation (with Sound System & 6 beamers) gave the opportunity to see & hear the artists play & develop their leitmotif <Close-Up_410>. There was no Zeitplan handed out for the performative moments, to keep track and follow the story you had to come back frequently.

"Sit-In/Out" installation in the financial district of Frankurt. the room was not a white cube, but the ground floor of a skyscraper - with lots of grey glass. we built a cosy situation on stage, with a white wall for 1 projection behind, and 1 artobject, which later behaved as a projection object. the screens, as well as 3rd one on the right side, were mirrowed through the windows. it could be seen from outside, from the street, sending light impulses far away. The mirrowed screens touched the other skyscrapers around.

STATION ROSE/STR are back to their home-town Linz for the 2nd time, after their AV-performance at
Lentos museum in oct.09, this time with the solo-exhibition "Violently Y/ours" at gallery Hofkabinett.

Now the media artists go consciously away from the media art (scene)´s devoutness to the future, and
concentrate on the crisis-ridden present, with new digital & analog works.
______Life instead of Artificial Life, present instead of the future.

They call their current direction "New Media Arte Povera".

For the solo-exhibition this means that STR acts in the sense of not wasting material, which must be retained nowadays. When "Recycling Surplus to Save Nature", they use the surplus, the fall-out of their studio in Frankfurt as samples for new works, besides digital prints on cloth. A very personal material, recently used by Elisa Rose, are her (worn) tights, recycled to yarn. Stills from the AV-compositions "Violent", "Fussgaengerzone" and "Ornamental_409", performed at Lentos museum, now become stitched, printed, sewn pieces of art, transfered into <real> material. The 500 year old building, in which gallery Hofkabinett is accommodated, represents a further exciting contrast to the in the meantime 21 years of digitality of the artists.

In addition, AV-compositions will be shown, & a limited music-edtion
<on Audio-Cassette> will be available in the exhibition, too.

:// groupshow Videorama - "Naturband" at KUNSTHALLE wien
Station Rose is part of the group show Videorama, Artclips from Austria, with the video "Naturband" (1985/86)
November 04th, 2009 - January 10th, 2010

:// info: " Naturband" 1985/6

One of the first " studioproductions" of Rose and Danner, 2 years before the establishment of Station
Rose. They produced Naturband during their studies at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, where they
started to work together live audio-visually 1983/84.
The clip reflects the preoccupation of the artists with nature at that time, with distortion, as well as the
animism inherent in technology and nature, as well as their preference for a special lo-res image quality,
which they applied since then to their TV-program & natively in the net. The video was shot in VHS, and
edited in u-matic.

:// performance at Lentos Museum, Linz/A 22/10/09
"Augenclick – Pheromonic_Hungry Walking Blues "
atlentos
:// info:
Elisa Rose (visuals) & Gary Danner (sound) work together digitally since 1988,
perform live with computers since 1992. Picture & sound, loops & patterns vare composed at the same time.
:// un-text: Station Rose/STR sees its AV/Netart as a new language, which will destroy the language of letters.
For SeeThisSound STR builds a Pheromonic Area with projections, P.A. &re-materializations. The basis is their personal synchronization. The samples/substances, which STR delivers during the performance to the public,
steers the behavior. The complex pheromonic communication system of nature is used performatively in their digital art,
"Das Pheromonische" is manufactured as AV-liquid. Signals release behavior reactions.
<Worst case scenario> are alarm pheromones, where hungry cultural workers transfer increased aggression.
Premiere.
Thanks to Ma Rainey for helping us out with the title.

:// performance at artspace Satellit in Frankfurt 30/10/09

satellit

performance-art-lab satellit, am Roemer, Frankfurt, between Schirn und Frankfurter Kunstverein,
a Station Rose evening at an art space called performance-art-lab satellit, installed in the (former)
Technisches Rathaus, Roemer, in Frankfurt. A building that is more than interesting, built between
1972-74. (The STR-studio/headquarter, installed in the 16th floor of a scyscraper is from 1972, too.)
IMHO the Technisches Rathaus (i.e. technical city hall) should be declared a historic monument/building &
be preserved - but cause Frankfurt is always under construction, at least it has been before the world financial crisis, the
city decided to tear it down & destroy it - soon. let´s see. (stills used from city hall,

__________________ MAK/Museum of Applied/Contemporary Arts, Vienna.

_______________________________________5.11.2008 - 25.1.2009

STR celebrated 20DY-MAKwith the media-sculpture "LogInCabin", at MAK Vienna.

20 Digital Years- The Archive is online since then.
The media sculpture (3,3 tons) has been sold after the exhibition.

LogInCabin

photos by MAK/Wolfgang Woessner

info:
As the 1st media art space in Vienna STR went back to the roots - after 20 Digital Years. For that Station Rose constructed a media architecture of 3,3 tons & used the the logcabin system - which goes back to Bronze Age - as a sample and updated it to LogInCabin. Sustainable wood meets LEDs & sound system. The media sculpture was on 24hours for 3 months. The LEDs needed 100% energy throughout sunlight/daytime, and 10% after 5pm. It was an intervention in city space - seen for miles, positioned on the MAK Terrasse plateau (built by Peter Noever).
Digital Art could be seen inside the scultpure, on the street & online.
phot-collection here:

f The Digital Archive was presented there as a premiere.

After the exhibiton the media sculpture has been sold to the artcollection of the City of Vienna. Because of its logcabin system it was constructed in 3 days, and un-built in 2. It can be rebuilt any time. Station Rose performed live twice during the exhibit.

:// info:
2008 Station Rose/STR celebrated 20 Digital Years, and showed a film as their new piece of
art, as a representative cross-section of their audio-visual art, at Kunsthalle Wien for this occasion.

Many of the videos sampled and re-edited for The Movie have been created live during the webcasts
at their Frankfurt studio live @ home, for their TV series at hr-fernsehen/ARD digital "Best of Webcasting", as
well as during audiovisual live-performances in museums, at festivals and in the underground.
The basis of STR´s work is the interaction of visuals (Elisa Rose) and sound (Gary Danner). Both
compose their audiovisual art synchronously. Distillates thereof can re-materialize as
performances, installations, art products, CDs/vinyls/DVDs, net art projects, texts, TV shows etc.
While STR has installed and performed inside an audiovisual installation with 8 screens as early as
1991, their next step further now is in the opposite direction, by showing a one-channel projection
in the Ursula Blickle videolounge at Kunsthalle Wien.

lounge-tupper

The focus is on non-narrative dramaturgy & fictional story telling, which has been enhanced ever
since their audiovisual TV series. The real storylines are not in the spotlight, but get inverted
as breaks, as wild card and un-commercials between abstract MIDI-sequenced patterns.
The real world is featured as disruption, as glitch, as reset-button.
Digital abstract patterns, created by Elisa Rose since 1987, then on her Amiga computer, and the
use thereof, which had been confirmed during STR´s 8-month portgraduate studies in Cairo 1988/89,
take center stage ever since.
These attract interest together with RL/ real-life sequences, filmed on location (Vienna, Cairo,
Frankfurt, San Francisco, Linz, Lugano, Avignon, ICA London via Webcam).
The crossfading between scenes in movies has been replaced by short real-life interferences.
The soundtrack by Gary Danner was realized entirely on the computer, ranging from dry, minimal
electronica, over bass-heavy dub, to nods to Nino Rota stylistically. Special "vignettes" had been
created to fit the RL-interruptions, often backing the original sound recorded on location.
The movie is also a survey of the performative AV-flow of the art created in STR´s studio, with all
its drive as well as stops within the sequences.
Particular attention is given to subjective perception of time, digital glitches and the merger of
digital worlds and the (urban) nature surrounding us.
