Description

Gaps interrupt texts, streets, rows of seats, sweets, thoughts. They open up holes, make you catch your breath, create distance, calm and irritate at the same time. In the UNVERMÖGENSVERKEHRSSTELLE gaps are understood as fixed points that carry information, visualise social and political issues. The gap also always refers to something past, to a loss, to something that was once there.

On 17 August 2024, artist Barbara Ungepflegt will be exploring Austria’s gaps at Bad Ischl railway station, bringing to light things that were thought to have been lost, while elsewhere she will be punching holes at random and inserting spaces in well-known texts in a fair and gender-appropriate way. In the UNVERMÖGENSVERKEHRSSTELLE, the Viennese artist reads non-stop from Hitler’s Mein Kampf, which she translated into gender-appropriate and fair language in 2022 as part of her dissertation at the University of Art and Design Linz. It is up to the audience to decide when they want to join the marathon reading and how long they want to listen. The marathon reading starts at 11 a.m. and ends at 9 p.m.
