KATYA SANDER
My work is about production and circulation of social imaginaries, i.e. ways in which we imagine ourselves.
It often involves investigating or questioning production of spectatorship: Systems and structures of presentation and circulation of both images as well as the bodies these images address, depict or exclude.
In this, I often work with questions of address, desire and language in relation to architecture, public space, speech, view, landscape, cinema, abstraction and power.

In the Age of Information, actual reality has been supplanted by virtual reality, computer simulation, and false narratives. Since the concept of utopia is based on the improvement of reality, the disappearance of the real also signals the end of utopia. Without Reality There Is No Utopia illustrates this premise by examining false narratives that masquerade as truth; the collapse of Communism in the 1980s; the current financial crisis, which heralds the demise of Capitalism; the contradictions inherent in geopolitics; and the explosion of democratic uprisings around the world. The exhibition includes work by more than two-dozen international artists, and features works of photography, video, drawing, painting, collage, and more.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/cb11d3bfdbf00ea37de064f43d7d2832/tumblr_mkqy2ucP8a1r7f7sro1_500.png)

Keynote speaker at conference, Eremuak @ ARTIUM museum/ vitoria-gastei.
Lecture: “On politics of spectatorship”
ON SIGNS AND BODIES
curated by_Thomas Locher @ Galerie George Kargl, Vienna
The interpenetration of art and life as avant-gardist wishful thinking—aligned to a supposedly better “other life”—appears to have taken effect in economic and social realms in particular. Concepts that were once of emancipatory nature have a cheerful afterlife in the world of management, in the working environment, in actuarial directives, or in historical-political fictions. This exhibition focuses on artistic projects that analytically address visualization strategies against, along, or in accordance with these developments.
