Kunstraum Lakeside www.lakeside-kunstraum.at

Der Kunstraum Lakeside ist ein Ort der Produktion und Präsentation zeitgenössischer internationaler Kunst mit der Programmatik einer kritischen Diskussion gesellschaftsrelevanter Aspekte der Ökonomie. Angesiedelt im Lakeside Science & Technology Park in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft zur Universität Klagenfurt, operiert der Kunstraum im Spannungsfeld wirtschaftlicher, wissenschaftlicher und kultureller Forschungen, Praktiken und Diskursformen. Mit der auf Dauer angelegten Einrichtung des Kunstraums wird der öffentliche Charakter des Kunstprogramms gestärkt und die kunstinstitutionelle Landschaft der Region Kärnten um einen einzigartigen Ort der kritischen künstlerisch-theoretischen Auseinandersetzung auf überregionaler Ebene erweitert und bereichert. Ziel des Kunstraums Lakeside ist die Vermittlung und Konfrontation divergenter Perspektiven auf geteilte gesellschaftliche Verhältnisse. Durch Ausstellungen, öffentliche Kunstprojekte, Vorträge, Diskussionen, Filmabende und Publikationen sowie Kooperationen mit universitären und sonstigen Einrichtungen arbeitet der Kunstraum an einer transdisziplinären Auseinandersetzung mit Fragen der Zeit und der Generierung einer entsprechend spartenübergreifenden Öffentlichkeit. Mit der Durchführung eines solchen Programms wird insbesondere jenen Potentialen Rechnung getragen, die sich aus den räumlich verdichteten Beziehungen zwischen Wirtschaft, universitäre Forschung und künstlerischem Feld ergeben.

Ready for TONIGHT, OCTOBER 20, 6 pm: Opening, and reading performance, and a glass of w**e, and some snacks, and some good conversations — AND: more that happy with this one:

[Ominous Music Playing]
Curated by Abbey IT-A Aʙʙᴇꪗ.

Opening, October 20, 2026, 6 pm
Exhibition, October 21 – December 4, 2026

Under the title "[Ominous Music Playing]", artist-curator Abbey IT-A brings together works by artists who employ moving images as a tool to reflect on narratives, time, and cultural memory. The exhibition is conceived as a deliberate shift in perception: from the dominant medium of painting to a polyphonic meshwork of poetry, artificial intelligence, or photography; from (self) representation to self-preservation in the realm of digital image production and circulation; from Europe’s perceived status as an intellectual center to one of Africa’s many artistic hubs—Ghana; and last but not least, a shift away from the shallow seductions of one-dimensional rhetorics and portrayals.

Future, landscape, technological infrastructures, surveillance, and migrating bodies: the final edition of the „(Re-)Writing ̶S̶c̶r̶i̶p̶t̶s̶“ series presents three short films by Egyptian artist Mohamed Abdelkarim. In their rendering of narratives deeply embedded in society that unconsciously shape our thoughts and actions, they highlight how pattern recognition becomes a political and aesthetic practice: for only when recurring “logics” become recognizable as such it is possible to question their supposed self-evidence and open up space for other stories, for rewriting familiar narratives. In keeping with this approach, Mohamed Abdelkarim’s three film works each explore futures in the wake of a catastrophe from a different perspective. He proposes speculative scenarios in which the present, with its technologies, landscapes, and political ordering systems, manifests as ruins, and the cinematic now emerges as the aftermath of an unspecified rupture. Even though the footage depicts known locations and originates from our present, the films provoke a sense of uncertainty that prompts us to pose fundamental questions about “progress” and the apparent inevitability of an impending (environmental) catastrophe.

"Gazing…Unseeing" is a pseudo-documentary interview format: a refugee recounts his experiences in a city after the flood, addressing various positions and ideological shifts about questions of economic sovereignty. In this way, the film traces the interconnections between infrastructure, privatization, ecology, surveillance, and migration, while imagining how in the near future the relationship between green movements, governments, and the private sector might be reorganized in a radically different way. Here, the scripts that surround us are not recounted but subjected to interrogation.

"I Almost Forgot The Roving Body…Let’s Call It The Future" | 2021, 7:12 min

Film screening and performance
October 9, 2026, 6 pm

"I Almost Forgot The Roving Body…Let’s Call It The Future now" shifts the narrative completely from human to technological subjects: in a world full of drones and devoid of humans, the film follows the flying object on its journey northward. Through a conversation with an anonymous figure in the background, the film offers insights into conflicts and the opposing power dynamics inscribed in infrastructures and geographies; but now the drone itself is the carrier of these very power dynamics as humans have vanished from the picture. While the first film offers a communal, physical, and poetic voice as a counterpoint to this backdrop, the other two work with fictional interview situations that examine existing power structures, such as the state, capital, or border regimes, from a future perspective.
