Negin Rezaie

This Takes Space
This Takes Space is a signal-orange inflatable that stages the tension between
fragility and defiance. Rooted in The Library of Civil Disobedience, it activates
the politics of bodies in space: to enter, to press, to occupy is already resistance.
Each appearance transforms its site into a field of negotiation, where sound,
movement, and audience interaction inscribe new forms of dissent. In this performance,
Negin Rezaie and sound and performance artist Rozina Pàtkai interact
with the architecture and the audience through electronic sound and embodied
gestures. The installation itself—visualized by Mattéo Lacoste and Riin Maide
at 2024 from Mattéo Lacoste and Negin Rezaie’s conceptual framework moves,
expands, and resists, while the audience is invited not only to observe but to
participate, their responses becoming part of the work.

TIME*Spaces – Remembering the Past. Shaping the Future

In light of three significant historical anniversaries in 2025 – 80 years since the
end of World War II, 70 years since the signing of the Austrian State Treaty, and 30
years of Austria’s EU membership – this talk will explore how we remember today,
who we want to be as a society, and what kind of future we can build in Europe.
Experts from the fields of history, the arts, and politics will come together to discuss
the meaning of historical responsibility and the power of cultural narratives.
The talk offers an open space for reflection, dialogue, and the development of
shared perspectives – across generations and disciplines.
Featuring, among others: Andreas Mailath-Pokorny, Franz Vranitzky,
Andras Kranebitter
