Program

VORBRENNER is a contemporary art platform that promotes process-oriented work across all disciplines and genres. It offers short-term opportunities for collaboration for both collectives and individual artists in search of new insights and contemporary forms of expression that engage with an interdisziplinary concept of art and science. The focus is on a movement that is curious, experimental, researching, and developing, that welcomes the unfinished, the paradoxical, and the fragmentary. For exploratory trials of such nature, VORBRENNER provides the BRUX premises along with infrastructure and financial resources.

    Pos. 19 Relations_Act II Lost Objects is a multimedia installation by Hanna Kučera, in which she explores her own position as an artist as well as the ambivalences of a hyper-mobilized present. Together with invited collaborators Helen Clare Kinney (co-production choreography) and Camilla Schielin (co-production sound), she develops a work on contemporary fragmentation and horror vacui that questions collective structures of desire.
    Drawing on psychoanalytic concepts such as the “lost object” (objet petit a), which in Lacanian theory structures the subject through lack and desire, and Freud’s notion of the “death drive,” which describes repetition and the tendency toward the dissolution of stability—expanded by Melanie Klein’s theory of transitional objects and toys—Kučera transfers these conceptual frameworks to artistic production and Western cultural myths.
    The project thematizes the loss of stability and control within a culture shaped by the illusion of constant availability, asking how art can function as a compensatory mechanism for that which remains unattainable. In Position 19, Kučera formulates an artistic-theoretical exploration of the void: of the lost object, of external order, of disappearance on stage.

    Hanna Kučera

    Hanna Kučera (b. 1996) lives and works in Vienna. Her artistic practice navigates the tension between play and work, fiction and reality, and professionalism and parody. Through varying forms of “para-play,” she explores the conditions of artistic professionalization, the emancipatory potential of play, and the paradoxical experience of moving forward while simultaneously feeling stuck.
    She studied at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, under the guidance of Christian Sery, Iman Issa, Diedrich Diederichsen, and Nora Schultz, among others.
    Her works have been presented internationally in exhibitions and performative formats, including in Vienna, Dresden, Marseille, Bonn, Bregenz, and Washington, D.C. Her awards include the Birgit Jürgenssen Prize, the Federal Prize for Art Students, and a multi-year scholarship from the German National Academic Foundation.
