CHARLOTTA RUTH
In 2024, I'm working on Choreographic Clues and Kettenkreationen in the frame of my 1 year working grant that I received from the City of Vienna. I am also part of Outerwoman an artistic research project lead by of Cordula Daus in collaboration with Sebastian Bark, [M] Dudeck and myself. The first episodes of the Outerwoman podcast are launched now!!
Apart from artistic works I'm excited to be part of developing and teaching two new courses at the University of Applied Arts Vienna whereof one in collaboration with the Johannes Kepler University in Linz. Facilitating Participation - Practicing Agency headed by my collaborator Jasmin Schaitl, has been realised through support by the call that LIT Open Innovation Center made for courses at the intersection of art & science last year. The course is based on Jasmin's and my common research project Withdrawing the Performer. In my block focusing on Digital Enhancements & Hybrid Co-Presence I had the chance to co-teach with artist programmer and lecturer Jonas Bohatsch from the coding lab.
I have also had the fascinating task to develop the course Sustainability Environment and Human Rights at the MA in Applied Human Rights at the University of Applied Arts. As part of the transdisciplinary team consisting of Sustainability Scientist Maximilian Muhr, Art Historian and curator Ulrike Payerhofer and Human Rights Lawyer Walter Suntinger. The course specifically looked at art’s ability to embrace uncertainty and chaos in order to “think differently”. Parallel to panel talks and theory sessions we have taken a practise based approach to work with artistic, playful, systemic and activistic methods and perspectives. The course culminated with public interventions at the Klima Biennale in Vienna in June 24.
