Decay and Desire / bb15 x AMRO / Exhibition Opening & Artist Guided Tour

bb15 – space for contemporary art, Thursday, May 14 at 05:00 PM GMT+2

Decay and Desire
bb15 x AMRO Festival

The exhibition is part of AMRO26 - Art Meets Radical Openness Festival, which will take place in Linz from 13 to 16 May 2026.

Exhibition Opening & Artist Guided Tour on Thursday 14th May at 17:00
(Soft opening 14th May at 10:00)
Opening hours: 14. – 16. Mai 2026 | (Opening hours: Everyday, 10:00-19:00) 
18. – 22. Mai 2026 | (Opening hours: Tue-Sat, 15:00-18:00)

Two immersive installations by jiawen uffline and by Maja Bojanić and Brin Žvan from Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory blur nature's irrational forces with institutional critique and artivism. Both works invite visitors to participate in order to activate them. The exhibition explores ideas of communication and sustainability and create a parallel realm where visitors gain agency.

The works in the exhibition connect questions of interaction, maintenance and yearning with nature as medium, as channel of transmission, and as a site through which existing structures can be transferred into subversive and irrational forms.

Exhibiting artists: Maja Bojanić and Brin Žvan (Ljudmila) & jiawen uffline

The #subversive thing about this is that the product can potentially be marketed as a dietary supplement or a #food (minus the alcohol) — all #natural ingredients! — with very minimal regulation. It directly subverts RFK's anti-vaccine, pro-supplement, anti-science policies. Without the supplier making any claims, it could give people access to a lifesaving vaccine against #polyomaviruses if there were no other access.

Robert Pattinson, Zendaya's The Drama is disturbing, controversial and fascinating
That The Drama blossoms into a subversive investigation into the limits of empathy doesn't really matter. All that will matter is the disappointment theatre-goers will feel walking out of a supposed rom-com they expected to be like Sleepless in Seattle, but that instead feels closer to Midsommar.

"AIPAC, the hard-line pro-Israel lobbying organization that once commanded bipartisan fealty, has increasingly become a boogeyman in Democratic circles, with scores of candidates distancing themselves from the group":

Once a Bipartisan Stalwart, AIPAC Turns ‘Toxic’ in the Illinois Primaries

The intervention of AIPAC supporters in Chicago-area Democratic primaries, including one with opposing Jewish candidates, has made the pro-Israel lobby an issue on the left.

An Aeon essay through one of my favourite subjects: subversive literature, and whether it is actually subversive, by Charlie Ericson.

https://aeon.co/essays/feel-the-burn-how-subversion-works-in-literature

He discusses #Dante and #Milton, and a contemporary poet, Shane McCrae, and makes a distinction between subversion and #revolution.

It go me thinking about how literature's role in renewing #perception might transcend both of these.

Feel the burn: how subversion works in literature | Aeon Essays

In their visions of the underworld Dante and Milton were truly subversive, incorporating predecessors into their own repudiation

#Alcohol isn't inherently #subversive.

Making alcohol more widespread is a tactic #colonizers have deliberately used to constrain #resistance. Alcohol makes it harder to be aware of what's happening and react with #agency and deliberation. It also keeps you dependent on a very #capitalist industry, giving it your #money. And structuring #social life around alcohol excludes a lot of #disabled and recovering people and #kids--people with direct experiences being #oppressed by #empire.
