Net-Work #1
For the first Net-Work in our project, we invited Seth Weiner to engage with the “material substrate” of the working process of the project’s first year, which was dedicated to the thematic cluster “Personal Archives.” Weiner joined us at some of the events within the public program, which built up to the exhibition “An Archive, a Body, an Album, and a Story.” He also visited our research group during working sessions and offered his artistic insight and feedback.
After the first year’s activities concluded, we came together with our own “material substrate” of the year: pictures from the camera rolls from our respective phones, partially transcribed conversations from our public program, and in-between results from art assignments we gave each other throughout the working process.
While our first intention was to create a short video work combining snippets of this mixed-media archive, the documentation of our reflective process became the intervention: a series of try-outs in making sense of a process already past, infused with idiosyncratic anecdotes, conversations, and play.

Participants
Seth Weiner
Often containing performance and proposal simultaneously, Seth Weiner’s work employs a wide range of media in which he explores the gaps between architectural fiction and social convention to create both actual and imagined spatial environments. Weiner has worked process-based and collaboratively with Untitled Collective (co-founded in Los Angeles, 2010-2012), Gruppe Uno Wien, and from 2012-2018 served as the Co-Artistic Director of Berlin-based Care Of Editions, a conceptual business model in the form of a record label. Since 2018, Weiner has been the Artistic Director of Palais des Beaux Arts Wien, a nonprofit museum-like entity that serves as a mobile place of remembrance and projection for what was lost during National Socialism. During his time as director, Weiner has focused on commissioning artworks that deal with the history of Atelier Bachwitz, a publishing house that was once located at the Palais des Beaux Arts building in Vienna before it was Aryanized. Being Jewish, Weiner’s work on the Palais functions as an ongoing act of reclamation and a way to explore what that identity means in contemporary Austria.
