Intro
It is with pleasure that we invite you to the presentation of the artist’s book Isa Rosenberger . . . the vast land from which she comes which accompanies the eponymous exhibition, followed by a talk between the artist and Reinhard Braun.
Based on a dance evening put on by Gertrud Kraus in April 1934 at the Volksheim Ottakring in Vienna, Isa Rosenberger—with her project “… the vast land from which she comes”— tells of the rigorous search for answers, inviting us to embark on this quest with her, to share in her desire to understand. The artist unfurls a history which is told through its gaps and spans into the present. She speaks of awakening—of artistic expression and dreams in a new age—but also of escape, migration, and new beginnings. She reflects on how this could become a myth in one place, and how it could fade into oblivion in another. And she wonders about the meaning that all of this might hold for us today. How do we envision a different education today, a different movement, a more equal, free, and solidary future?
