Schäfchen im Trockenen, Theater Drachengasse, Vienna, AT (13. 01 – 01. 02 2025, Di–Sa um 20 Uhr)
Deniz Beser created the stage paintings and props for the theater production Schäfchen im Trockenen.
nach dem Roman von Anke Stelling
Theater Drachengasse
Keine Sorge, ich klage nicht. Ich bin selbst schuld.
Warum habe ich auch all diese Kinder gekriegt?
Resi ist Schriftstellerin, Frau und kommt aus einfachen Verhältnissen. Sie hat vier Kinder mit dem bildenden Künstler Sven und lebt mitten in der Stadt zur Untermiete in einer großen Altbauwohnung. Geld ist der Familie nicht so wichtig. Sie kommen ganz gut klar.
Erst als ihr Mietvertrag überraschend gekündigt wird, fällt es Resi wie Schuppen von den Augen: Sie sind raus. Aus der Wohnung. Aus der Innenstadt. Raus aus der Clique, deren erbfähiger Teil schon lange in Richtung Eigenheim abgebogen ist. Plötzlich findet sich Resi nicht mehr als Aufsteigerin, sondern als Außenseiterin wieder. Sie wird die ungewollte Protagonistin eines Klassenkampfs, den sie nie wirklich wahrhaben wollte. Vielleicht war sie dumm, naiv, zu gutgläubig. Vielleicht ist sie einfach reingefallen?
Isabella Sedlak verwandelt gemeinsam mit Anna Gschnitzer die vielfach ausgezeichnete, ätzende Parabel auf soziale Ungleichheiten und Klassismus von Anke Stelling in ein rasant unterhaltsames Bühnenstück, das in Bösartigkeit und Witz seiner Romanvorlage in nichts nachsteht.

Kuratiert von Fiona Irene Graf
In the Open ist eine multidisziplinäre Ausstellung mit öffentlichem Programm, die sich mit den Möglichkeiten und Einschränkungen des öffentlichen Raums befasst. Mit Blick auf sich verschärfende sozialpolitische, wirtschaftliche und ökologische Krisen setzt sich In the Open mit der Bedeutung und anhaltenden Veränderung des Sozialraums auseinander, auch in seinen Eigenschaften als Spiegel für demokratische Mitgestaltung und Instrument zur systemischen Veränderung.
Während das Projekt die Verringerung gemeinschaftlich genutzten Raumes in einen zeitlichen Kontext setzt und die Konsequenzen daraus kritisch beleuchtet, schlägt es valide Gegenentwürfe für eine gemeinsame Zukunft vor: In Veranstaltungen wie themenbezogenen Workshops bis zu Spiel-Nachmittage, gemeinsamen Mittagessen und Diskussionsrunden erprobt In the Open multidisziplinäre, interaktive und partizipative Methoden, den öffentlichen Raum in Kollaboration mit Besuchenden zu verhandeln und neu zu definieren.

(Deutscher Text unten)
“The gallery won’t be just a place to exhibit art, but also a space for creation, experimentation, and exploration”. Deniz Beser’s exhibition, Capturing The Everyday: Work In Progress, is based on this idea. For the duration of the exhibition, Beser will live and work in the gallery, turning it into an art studio, and attempting to produce a new work every day.
The works in the exhibition are a reflection of Beser’s attempt to capture the everyday. Through his art, he tries to transform the mundane into documentation. He captures moments that are often overlooked or taken for granted, and charges them with meaning and humour. His works invite us to slow down, to pay attention to the details of our lives, and to appreciate the world around us.
The exhibition is a celebration of the creation process. By working in the gallery, Beser invites the visitors to witness and come close to his working space and to become part of it. The works on display are not just finished products but also the result of a continuous dialogue between the artist, his materials, and the space around him. As the exhibition progresses, the works accumulate, and the gallery becomes a living, breathing organism, constantly evolving and changing. Beser is not interested in creating a static, finished product but rather in capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life and transforming them into something new.
He has been trying to explore his own discipline and the limits of production possibilities with his desire to produce one work every day since December 2019.
Beser’s practice could be defined as working within a space between painting, zine, music, video, and ready-mades. All of this media is most often presented in the context of installations than as totally autonomous works. He often focuses on the absurd products of post internet pop culture, chasing internet phenomena and their protagonists, as well as portraying the silent heroes of everyday life.
During the exhibition opening, visitors will have the opportunity to join the experimental music project “Nal” and the jam sessions of “Psychedelic Sounds”. In addition, visitors will be able to participate in the jam performance with the instruments available in the art gallery and with their own ones.
nal (Ω) is a project that mediates musical/sonic occurrences in both human and non- human agency. Their size, number, media, temperament, moods and bodies are transient.
After these performances, Beser’ will take the booth with his 90s DJ set and invite everyone to dance. Don’t miss out on the chance to groove to the beat!

“Die Galerie soll nicht nur ein Ort sein, um Kunst auszustellen, sondern auch ein Raum um diese zu schaffen, mit ihr zu experimentieren und sie zu erforschen”. Deniz Besers Ausstellung “Capturing The Everyday: Work In Progress” basiert auf dieser Idee. Während der Ausstellung wird Beser in der Galerie leben und arbeiten, sie in ein Studio verwandeln, in dem er versucht jeden Tag ein neues Werk zu kreieren.
Die Werke in der Ausstellung sind eine Reflexion von Besers Versuch, das Alltägliche festzuhalten. Durch seine Kunst soll das Gewöhnliche in Dokumentationen der Vergangenheit verwandelt werden. Er fängt Momente ein, die oft übersehen oder als selbstverständlich angesehen werden und verleiht ihnen Bedeutung und eine Portion Humor. Seine Werke laden uns ein, langsamer zu werden, die Details unseres Lebens wahrzunehmen und die Welt um uns herum zu schätzen.
Die Ausstellung feiert den Schaffensprozess an sich. Indem Beser in der Galerie arbeitet, lädt er den Betrachter ein, seinen kreativen Prozess zu beobachten und Teil davon zu werden. Die ausgestellten Werke sind nicht nur fertige Produkte, sondern auch das Ergebnis eines kontinuierlichen Dialogs zwischen dem Künstler, seinen Materialien und dem Raum, der ihn umgibt. Mit dem Fortschreiten der Ausstellung sammeln sich die
Werke an und die Galerie wird zu einem lebendigen, atmenden Organismus transformiert, der ständig in Bewegung und Veränderung ist.
Seit Dezember 2019 versucht Beser, seine eigene Disziplin und die Grenzen der Produktionsmöglichkeiten auszuloten. Ausgangspunkt dafür ist die Idee, jeden Tag ein neues Werk zu schaffen.
Seine Praxis kann als Arbeit im Bereich zwischen Malerei, Zine, Musik, Video und Ready- Mades angesiedelt werden. All diese Medien werden meist im Kontext von Installationen als völlig autonome Werke präsentiert. Der Künstler konzentriert sich oft auf die absurden Produkte der Post-Internet-Pop-Kultur, verfolgt Internetphänomene, deren Protagonisten, und porträtiert die stillen Helden des Alltags.
Während der Eröffnung der Ausstellung haben Besucher:innen die Möglichkeit, das experimentelle Musik-Projekt “Nal” und die Jam- Sessions von “Psychedelic Sounds” zu erleben. Darüber hinaus können sie an einer Jam-Performance mit ihren eigenen Instrumenten teilnehmen.
nal (Ω) ist ein Projekt, das klangliche Ereignisse in menschlicher und nicht-menschlicher Gestalt vermittelt, während deren Ausmaße, Menge, Medien, Stimmungen und Körper vergänglich sind.
Darüber hinaus wird die Ausstellung Besers ein 90er-Jahre-DJ-Set präsentieren, das verspricht, alle Tanzbeine schwingen zu lassen. Geben auch Sie sich dem Beat hin!

Mini Zine Archive From Turkey, Kijosk, Vienna, Austria (29 June – 13 July, 2022)
Kijosk is a showroom aiming to support, promote and showcase printmakers, illustrators and artists. Kijosk, which will also host various events such as workshops and talks, opens with the Mini Fanzine Archive exhibition from Turkey.
Mini zine exhibition
curated by Deniz Beser, displays some selected zines and other forms of self publications from Turkey, going back to the 1990s to today.
“Istanbul had a rich heritage of independent publishing from the 1990s. If the London-based 1970s punk zine Sniffin’ Glue was an international milestone, Istanbul’s were Mondo Thrasho and Laneth. These DIY publications took different aesthetic routes and were claimed by different scenes, but both started with the same idea.*” In Turkey, that same idea is still going on and growing up with different approaches and interests on zines. Turkey has a long tradition of censorship but Zines are documents and snapshots of society without the censored voice.

Mauvaise impression, Galerie Art & Essai, Rennes, France (29 April – 10 June 2022) (Exhibition)
Heyt be! Fanzin is the part of the exhibition at Gallerie Art & Essai in Rennes, France
The punk movement had a profound impact on cultural circles: music, fashion, photography, zines. Although the roots of the protest date back to the Middle Ages (if we are to believe Greil Marcus), punk is forever associated with images that have unfortunately become stereotypes today. However, these stereotypes, particularly graphic and thematic, will be taken up by different movements, in particular feminists, which will give them a new lease of life. Today, we must do justice to punk for the wind of revolt that it blew on contemporary creation. Whether it is photography, installation, or publishing, contemporary creation owes a certain aesthetic of the margins to punk. Marge as themes: industrial wastelands, illegal concerts, wild feminist posting… Marge as a medium: micro-publishing, photocopying, screen printing, painting on newspapers… Margin as graphics: tears, random inking, sometimes illegible handwriting, collage…
This exhibition therefore sets out to place punk in its context, through works of art, new creations and zines: what it owes to the art of the 1960s to 1990s, what it generated in the 1970s and 1980s, and what he sowed in contemporary art.
