Josef Dabernig on Flexibility, Structure, and Recognition in Art
Josef Dabernig, an Austrian artist hailing from Kötschach-Mauthen and born in 1956, took part in the conference titled "The Utopian Display: Props & Tools" held on November 29 at the Carroponte hall, FM, Centro per l’arte contemporanea in Milan. Curated by Marco Scotini, the event included contributions from artists such as Can Altay, Céline Condorelli, Liu Ding, Petra Feriancova, Luca Frei, Falke Pisano, and Marko Tadić, who explored display as a form of creative expression. Dabernig highlighted the importance of flexibility in his exhibition project "Individual Systems," curated by Igor Zabel for the 50th Venice Biennale in 2003 and later re-presented as "Once is Nothing" in 2008, viewing his work as a metaphor shaped by natural cycles.
