Hungry For Time by Rags Media Collective

To mark the renovation of its iconic building on Schillerplatz, The Academy of Fine Vienna has invited the trio of artists and curators from New Delhi Raqs Media Collective to survey the historical Paintings, Graphic and Plaster Cast collections and mediate a thematic reorientation in dialogue with contemporary art.

With Hungry for Time, Raqs Media Collective presents a show that opens up a new way of perceiving the historical collections in eleven scenes. Each scene tells a story and has a kernel made of an iconic work—such as the Last Judgement Triptych by Hieronymus Bosch —that acts as a magnet and attracts other works, historical and contemporary. For some scenes, Raqs Media Collective has invited external interlocutors like the Discursive Justice Ensemble or the artist duo Rohini Devasher and Pallavi Paul. The progression from station to station yields new insights into the art collections and highlights how a necessary epistemic disobedience (Walter D. Mignolo) can come to be.
