Konferenz des Zentrums für Intermedialität mit Ausstellung der Künstlerin Annette Kisling

Die Darstellung von Armut über verschiedene Medien ist Thema einer internationalen Workshop-Konferenz des Zentrums für Intermedialität in Kooperation mit der Amerikanistik und der Kulturanthropologie von 11. bis 13. Oktober 2017 an der Uni Graz. Neben renommierten Keynote Speakers aus Kanada und den USA konnte das Organisationsteam unter der Leitung von Univ.-Prof. Dr. Nassim Balestrini auch die deutsche Fotografin und Künstlerin Annette Kisling für die Konferenz gewinnen. Die Professorin für Fotografie an der Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig zeigt in der Attemsgasse 25 in der Ausstellung „Robin Hood Gardens“ eine erste Serie von Fotografien aus ihrem jüngsten Langzeit-Projekt.

Robin Hood Gardens ist ein Wohnkomplex in London aus den frühen 1970er-Jahren, entworfen von den Architekten Alison and Peter Smithson. Das damals innovative Vorzeigeprojekt für sozialen Wohnbau steht nun vor dem Abriss. Mit ihren Bildern will Kisling ihre Sicht von Smithsons bemerkenswerter Architektur verständlich machen.
Die Künstlerin untersucht in ihren Werken, wie Architektur bebauten Raum formt und bestimmt. Sie blickt auf die sichtbaren Fronten, mit denen sich Gebäude ihrer Umwelt präsentieren.
Vor der gestrigen Ausstellungseröffnung sprach Annette Kisling mit Reinhard Braun, künstlerischer Leiter von Camera Austria und Herausgeber der Zeitschrift Camera Austria International, über ihre Methoden und Zugänge.

Fair distribution: Researchers determine just greenhouse gas budgets for all EU regions

Ten years ago, on 12 December 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at the UN Climate Conference. In order to limit global warming to well below two degrees, only a certain amount of CO2 may be emitted worldwide. While the focus was originally on national emission targets, more than 200 subnational regions and almost 300 cities have now adopted their own targets. But how many emissions are they fairly entitled to? Researchers at the University of Graz have now developed transparent criteria for fair distribution at the subnational level for the first time and determined corresponding greenhouse gas budgets for all European regions. The paper was published today in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

Train by train: Koralm railway accelerates exchange between the Universities

Lectures at the University of Klagenfurt in the morning, seminars at the University of Graz in the afternoon: Austria's longest tunnel and a journey time of around 45 minutes make it easy. The Koralm railway increases the speed of networking between the two university locations. The collaboration builds on existing cooperation - for example in the areas of teacher training, Slavic studies and as employers, the universities are well coordinated.
