[Metalab] Die waren früher auch mal besser (They used to be better) / 20 years of monochrom

[j. grenzfurthner/monochrom (das ende der nahrungskette)]

Austria's international art-theory-DIY collective 
monochrom celebrates 20 years of existence in 
2013. The group's approach -- political, 
philosophical, sociological, artistic, and 
economic -- is thoroughly transdisciplinary, and 
the energetic intensity of their output could 
only be achieved by a collective. monochrom's 
work has resulted in an extremely nuanced and 
complex oeuvre. The group took part in numerous 
exhibitions, has a long publishing history, and 
has created a considerable number of projects 
--theatre plays, computer games, net activities, 
panels, performances, film and music productions, 
as well as activist events. On this the dawning 
of monochrom's third decade, the MUSA honors the 
group's never-ending contribution to the 
international art, discourse, and DIY scene with 
a retrospective. Both the MUSA and monochrom 
consider openness and a social involvement to be 
of utmost importance. Therefore the MUSA lets the 
art group take over the entire space, celebrating 
the group's experimental nature and non-predictability.

Exhibition: January 29, 2013 - April 27, 2013.
MUSA, Felderstraße 6-8, 1010 Vienna, Austria.

Opening: January 28, 2013, 7 pm ( @ MUSA).
Afterparty, 10 pm ( @ Metalab).
