Curated by Nadja Ayoub and Iryna Kurhanska.


 
In cooperation with the Jenische Archiv (a project of the Initiative Minderheiten Tirol) and the Office Ukraine Innsbruck.
 
 
The exhibition gestures of archiving questions various structures as well as the artistic gestures of archiving - from everyday diary entries to state archives and their socially relevant meaning. It follows the traces of discarded forms, overwritings, and collective memories and shows different aspects of archiving as a cultural practice.
 
The invited artists Andrii Dostliev, Olia Fedorova, Thomas Heise, Nikita Kadan, Eduardo Molinari, Isabel Peterhans, Simone Schönett, Esther Strauß, Miriam Visaczki and Claire Waffel show in their works different approaches and methods dealing with forms of memory culture, history, politics and territory.
 
 
This exhibition is part of the cooperation project "Memories of Memories" of the Tiroler Landesmuseum with numerous museums in the region (Klangspuren Schwaz, Kunstraum Schwaz, Museum der Völker, Rabalderhaus, Toni Knapp Haus, and the Stadtarchiv Schwaz, Klocker Museum in Hall), as well as in Innsbruck-city, including the Institute of Design of the Faculty of Architecture and Tyrolean Regional Theatre.
