We are pleased to invite you to the opening of Belinda Kazeem Kamiński’s first solo show at WONNERTH DEJACO.

Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński is a writer, artist, and scholar. Rooted in Black feminist theory, she has developed a research-based and process-oriented investigative practice that often deals with archives, specifically with the voids in public archives and collections. Interlacing the documentary with the fictional, her works manifest themselves through a variety of media and dissect the present of an everlasting colonial past: a past without closure.

Rebecca Jagoe, with your teeth, performance, 14 September 2024

„with your teeth“ by Rebecca Jagoe is a visceral exploration of romantic obsession and the haunting spectre of loss. The performance delves into our deep-seated fear of change and desire for unending stability, inspired by a Connecticut slipware plate attributed to John Betts Gregory (1782-1842), inscribed with the poignant question, “Why / Will You / Die.”
Jagoe’s work grapples with the horror of uncertainty and the unrealistic desire for total security. Through evocative metaphors of cannibalism and the mating rituals of deep-sea anglerfish, the performance examines the moment when desire transforms into possessiveness and the yearning for permanence becomes a compulsion to merge and lose individual identity.
In this performance, the fear of loss manifests as a longing to be absorbed into one another, to escape the disquiet of individual existence. The narrative conjures images of merging bodies and the dissolution of self into a comforting, endless silence, as thoughts cease and only the enveloping embrace of mutual absorption remains.

„A Tragical Romance“ curated by Mariana Lemos with Leah Clements, Rebecca Jagoe, Korallia Stergides and Marianne Vlaschits

Korallia Stergides, Low Roaming Cloud, performance, 14 September 2024

„Low Roaming Cloud“ by Korallia Stergides is a profound exploration of embodiment and mourning, presented through poetry, performance, and song. The work delves into the artist’s grief for her late family dog, interweaving evocative imagery of a lamb’s ear, marble, a rabbit, and a fawn.
In the first person, Stergides draws us into a reflective space where childhood memories, sickness, and care are examined with tenderness. The piece evokes moments of vulnerability and healing, reflecting on intimate connections with non-human entities formed during times of illness and recovery.
Blending abstract and tangible elements, Stergides weaves a dialogue between sensory memories and emotional depth. The narrative blurs the lines between physical presence and abstract thought, exploring how experiences and emotions intertwine with materiality.

Rebecca Jagoe, Scrofula II, 2019
Marbled latex, silk chiffon, silk satin, red cotton thread, 180 × 150 x 95 cm

„In Rebecca Jagoe’s work, the body becomes a leaky vessel—soft, wet, grotesque, consumed by desire. Scrofula I and Scrofula II speak of illness, of the strange and unsettling ways we romanticise frailty, and fetishize sickness. The consumptive body of the Victorians once eroticized in its fragility, now returns as something both mourned and celebrated. In Jagoe’s work, p**s, blood, tears, and sweat are not markers of weakness but of transcendence, a surrender to the body’s inevitable meltdown. Garments hang ghost-like,
emptied of their wearers or opened up wide, as though transformed into the stratosphere by deep time.“
Mariana Lemos

Installation view, A Tragical Romance with Leah Clements, Rebecca Jagoe,  Korallia Stergides and Marianne Vlaschits curated by Mariana Lemos

„Korallia Stergides’ bright yellow medicine stains everything it touches with the mark of grief, moving between bodies and artworks. In Low Roaming Cloud, this liquid—shared between herself and her dog as a child—leaks into the text and drawings of Jagoe’s Of Thyrst, where
they share a language that itself becomes fluid. Jagoes often uses a fervid blend of Middle English and neologisms to unload complex emotions layered with history and fact. For Stergides, memory and metaphor melt together: clouds, dogs, marble floors, all blurring into one another, time slipping through them like water through fingers until they disappear. The body, here, dissolves into a soft and sensorial world where distinctions between human and
non-human are no longer fixed.“

TOMORROW: Between Flesh and Fantasy: A Conversation on Bodies and Archives
Talk with Mariana Lemos, Marianne Vlaschits and Lisa Moravec
Thursday, 16 October 2024
6:00 pm
WONNERTH DEJACO
Ballgasse 6
1010 Vienna

As part of the group exhibition A Tragical Romance for curated_by, this conversation brings together artist Marianne Vlaschits, curator Mariana Lemos, and historian-theorist Lisa Moravec to explore the intersections of the body, the archive as concept, and the cosmos. Focusing on Vlaschits’ paintings Celestial Mechanics and Glitch Music 2.0, we will discuss how these works frame the body as an archive and the archive as a living body.

Celestial Mechanics draws inspiration from 16th-century scientific illustrations in the archives of the Institute for Astrophysics at the University of Vienna, transforming these historical images to blur the lines between the celestial and the human. Glitch Music 2.0 connects the stuttering rhythms of neutron stars with the elemental composition of our bodies, reflecting Vlaschits‘ own experience of stuttering as an embodied archive, intertwining personal and cosmic narratives.

The discussion will also delve into how Vlaschits‘ work resonates with the exhibition’s themes, particularly in exploring new perspectives on embodiment and the limits of human identity. We will consider how her art redefines the boundaries between the human and non-human, and examine how artistic practice itself can serve as a living archive of both personal and universal histories.

[This image shows a page from Theoricae Novae Planetarum, a work by the Austrian astronomer Georg Peuerbach from 1473. The page features a blend of text and illustration. At the top, we see a Latin heading: „Theoricae Novae Planetarum Georgii Purbachii Astronomi Celebratissimi de Sole,“ which indicates the section about the Sun’s theory. Below the title, the text is written in a block paragraph, with decorative details in the left corner.
At the centre of the page is a diagram, coloured in green, illustrating a geocentric model of the solar system. The two green concentric circles are labelled „C. deferens solem“ (Sun’s deferent) and „C. mundi“ (World’s centre), showing the deferent orbit and an epicycle of celestial mechanics according to medieval astronomy.
At the top margin, there is handwritten text, which likely notes an ownership or personal inscription. Similarly, there is more handwritten text at the bottom, which includes the name Regiomontanus, Peuerbach’s student and collaborator, referencing his involvement in editing and publishing this work.]
