RECENT PROJECT OVERVIEW

CHANGING SPACES

is an artist in residence exchange project for contemporary dance and performance. It is based on the simple idea of trading places and the mutual use of existing resources such as space, organisational know-how and artistic potential. Im_flieger Is cooperating with different cultural actors as artists initiatives of the Federal States of Austria in CHANGING SPACES national and on an international level with European Cultural Centres (TransEuropeHalls) – among them are WUK (Vienna), Point Ephemère (Paris), Mains d’Oevres (Paris) and Kabelfabrik (Helsinki) – as well as with Hollins University (Virginia/USA).

CROSSBREEDS

is a platform for artistic perspectives / positions, which deal with the interleave of dance, performance and other art forms and disciplines by means of performances, installations, (short) films, workstations, discursive formats or hybrid works in between.
It is a many-sided and intriguing agglomeration of artistic hybrids, offering insights into the diversity of current medial transgressions at various sites. CROSSBREEDS is fostering the network between media and disciplines in art production as well as theoretical and practical exchange about specific questions concerning transmedial positions on art, body and politics.

Im_flieger INVITES

is based on the principle of invitation. One artist is invited to invite another artist or group. The focus is on the juxtaposition of various aesthetic, media, political, and social perspectives.

In_FORSCHUNG

is a research and production format, which focuses on the perspective of dance, performance and choreography within the practical artistic cooperation between different disciplines. As a developmental lab it offers space for a collective process, which investigates in composing the adequate structures, communication tools and flexible models of curating of a project. Another main focus within is the LIVING ARCHIVE, which is in an interleave position of documentation, oral history, archiving, system theory, mediation of art, installation and performance.

Im_flieger PRESENTS

is an ongoing presentation platform of dance, performance and related art forms. Im_flieger supports artists or initiatives in artistic publication – cooperating or coproducing.
