==== New Media: Tanja Brandmayr ==== \\ **The Red Thread of New Media:** Tanja Brandmayr mixes her own works with historical works from the STWST and the surrounding area. **Context Tanja Brandmayr:** This selection is about combinations and associative clouds. It is about opening up contexts of meaning, fields of occupation, associative impulses, image references, etc., and establishing connections in a broader line, or even feeling, than explaining the numerous projects. Personally, I am also interested in questioning the concept of media and seeing the expanded concept of art with body, language or networks of contexts. Means: to integrate the social, the political, the personal and the subterranean, rather than to drill down into art according to media distinctions. I try to apply this in my own work. And recognise it very clearly in many earlier STWST projects. A special reference, moreover, here to the 1988 STWST project Wettergebäude ("Weather Building"): the house made of wind, heat, water and energy once again proves its topicality and, in my opinion, must be included in every art canon. \\ {{:history:redthread:1979-83_veranst_stwst01624_12.jpg?300|}} {{:history:redthread:2012_13_joss.png?340|}} **An Early Event**, Head in the Table, STWST, betw. 79 and 83, Photo: STWST Archiv **If I were A Boat**, Josseline Black, STWST, 2012, Webcam-Performance Videostill: tb {{:history:redthread:1979-83_impress_stwst01640_14.jpg?400|}} {{:history:redthread:2018_hours_of_drifting_foto_tanja_brandmayr.jpg?200|}} **Impression out of the STWST-Archive**, zw. 79 und 83, Photo: STWST Archive **48 Hours of Drifting**, Tanja Brandmayr, 2018, Photo:tb {{:history:redthread:1983_1984x.jpg?240|}} {{:history:redthread:1988_wettergebaeude1.jpg?360|}} **Sonic Youth in the STWST**, 1983 (83!), STWST Poster Archive **Das Wettergebäude**, ("Weather Building"), STWST, 1988, Photo: STWST Archive {{:history:redthread:1983_glashaus.jpg?300|}} {{:history:redthread:1994_7_screenshot_2022-01-04_10-58-30.png?360|}} **Glashaus**, Mona May, 1983, Videostill: STWST Archive, Archive Brigitte Schober **Early Piece**, Tanja Brandmayr/Doris Jungbauer, 1994, Videostill: Archive tb {{:history:redthread:1985_die_oper_lebt1.jpg?300|}} {{:history:redthread:2019_213001.jpg?360|}} **Die Oper lebt**, STWST, 1985, Photo: Chris Althaler **Sand Hole**, Franz XAVER, 2019, Photo: Sandrik {{:history:redthread:stwst48x5_stay_unfinished-deep_drilling_for_contracts-tanja_brandmayr_053.jpg?220|}} {{:history:redthread:1987_baggerhochzeit_1.jpg?410|}} **Deep Drilling for Contracts**, Tanja Brandmayr, 2019, Photo: Sandrik **Baggerhochzeit**, STWST, 1987, Photo: STWST Archive {{:history:redthread:1990_eroeffnung_stwst2578a.jpg?200|}} {{:history:redthread:1995_checkpoint_017.jpg?420|}} **Moving into the new house of STWST**, Kirchengasse 4, 1990, Photo: STWST Archive **Checkpoint**, STWST, 1995, Photo: STWST Archive {{:history:redthread:1990er_stwst3441a.jpg?300|}} {{:history:redthread:2019_unfinished.jpg?370|}} **Drawing by Franz Blaas**, probably early 1990s at the STWST attic, Photo: STWST Archiv **Projection of the old STWST façade onto the new house**, Stay Unfinished, STWST, 2019, Photo: STWST Archive {{:history:redthread:1991_hund1.jpg?250|}} {{:history:redthread:2021_e-massage_flugplatz_a0.jpg?300|}} **Niemand ist sich seiner sicher** -
