Terese Schulmeister

26 Oct-15 Dec 2012

Overview

Meat Me is the debut solo show in a UK institution of Vienna based artist Terese Schulmeister. Central to the exhibition are three feature-length narrative videos made between 1984 and 1991 while Schulmeister was an active member of the far-left commune established by Vienna Actionist Otto Muehl at Friedrichshof, just outside Vienna. Alongside a cast drawn from the commune, the videos feature cameos appearances from Nam June Paik, Martin Kippenberger, Harald Szeeman, Maria Lassnig, Lawrence Weiner, Dieter Roth, Albert Oehlen, Heimo Zoebernig, Herman Nitzsch, Peter Weibel and Normal Rosenthal amongst others. The three videos are presented across SPACE’s Annexe and Library galleries alongside Schulmeister’s paintings, her etching and collage work and documentary material relating to the videos and the Friedrichshof experiment in general.
