Evans examines the significance and role of emotion in contemporary societies as well as the increasing influence of new technologies on our feelings and actions. The video installation AMOS? WORLD is conceived as a television show set in a socially progressive housing estateand is scripted as a television series and is set in a socially progressive housing estate. The series divided into three episodes, and follows an architect called Amos and the inhabitants of the housing estate. Viewers are first introduced to Amos and some of the tenants, each individual interwoven into the larger infrastructure of Amos? building. His comfortable perch takes a turn when his perfect individual-communal fantasy for the Capitalist age begins to crumble as the tenants fail to conform to the behaviors he had envisaged. Fissures in this carefully constructed network reveal a breakdown of person-to-person and person-to-infrastructure power dynamics. Seemingly free from the pressures of an outside environment but with a visibly constricted view ? how has the networked age impacted the irreconcilable gap between individual rights and the controlling nature of the systems that create them?0Text: Karola Kraus, Fanny Gonella, Susanne Titz, Andrea Villiani, Dean Kissick, Amal Khalaf, Sophia Al-Maria.

WARHOL EXHIBITS explores Andy Warhol?s exhibition strategies and presents one of the most famous Pop art icons as installation artist and curator. It will be the ?rst ever representative overview of the artist?s exhibition practice, without ignoring his early and his late work. This broad cross-section will permit a balanced view of his use of diverse media and it will show that his modes of display must be considered key elements of his artistic work.00Exhibition: mumok, Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien, Austria (26.09.2020 - 31.01.2021).

In 2023 mumok Vienna presents the first comprehensive European solo exhibition of New York-based artist Adam Pendleton. In his paintings, drawings, and other works, Pendleton uses letters, words, drips, splashes, sprays, and collected images as primary materials. His work is a kind of continuous writing in which language, movement, memory, and gesture are recorded, transposed, and overwritten. He blurs the boundaries between seeing and reading, between representation and abstraction, between painting, drawing, photography and film. In 2008, he began to articulate his work "Black Dada", a visual project and an evolving investigation into the relationships between blackness, abstraction, and the avant-garde. For the exhibition at mumok, he has further developed his groups of works "Black Dada", "System of Display", and "Untitled (Days)", as well as created new largescale works such as "Untitled (WE ARE NOT)" and further developments of Code Poems, which are inspired by Hannah Weiner's poems of the same name as well as Morse code. The catalogue was created in close collaboration with the artist and his chosen graphic designer, and includes works by Adam Pendleton in colour for the first time.00Exhibition: mumok - Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig, Vienna, Austria (31.03.2023 - 01.07.2024).

In focus for the first time: the famous Pop artist as a bibliophile and producer of books Including archival material on his surprising publication projects

Als Warren Fischer und Casey Spooner ihr Kunst-, Musik-, und Performanceprojekt FISCHERSPOONER 1998 in New York ins Leben riefen, hatten sie eine Mission: Die zugeknöpfte, elitäre Kunstszene sollte offener und zugänglicher werden. Der Erfolg ließ nicht lange auf sich warten: Nach ihren ersten, orgiastisch-opulenten Performances wie etwa im MoMA PS1 waren sie aus der Kunstszene der Stadt nicht mehr wegzudenken. Mit ihrem Song Emerge landeten Fischerspooner 2002 sogar in der Britischen Top 40-Hitparade und auf der Bühne der Kultsendung Top of the Pops. Mit Sir präsentieren FISCHERSPOONER ein queer-lustvolles Universum. In einer Rauminstallation im mumok empfinden die beiden Künstler das New Yorker Apartment von Casey Spooner nach und werfen damit Fragen der Grenzziehung zwischen privatem und öffentlichem Raum auf. Thematisiert wird das konstante Mitteilungsbedürfnis des eigenen Lebens – ein Phänomen unserer Zeit, das den persönlichen Raum immer mehr zu einem performativen und öffentlichen werden lässt.
