OSTRALE 2021
Biennale for contemporary art
Dresden (DE)
Exhibition: 1. July - 3 October 2021
BREATHTURN
In the rivers north the future / I cast the net (Paul Celan)
Being human is not enough, and already too much. Sometimes we act like robots, but want to feel like animals. How can we breathe and rethink work and pleasure, art and industry, politics and poetics, when everything flows into each other, like streams into a river? Is the whole planet our home or just the square meters we occupy?
Between disorientation and reorientation, to find new directions and avoid dead ends, we need to breathe differently. We have to change our perspective and pay attention to those at the borders of our field of vision: the misfits, the oppressed, and the unknown, but also biospheres, buildings and social spaces. At the gate of a new, post-pandemic era, exhausted but hopeful, curious and ready for a change, the OSTRALE in 2021 explores the ways we coexist with our fellow humans, animals and our complex environment.

Diagonale 2021
Festival for Austrian Film
Graz (AT)
My film "All Now, All Free!" will be part of this year's Diagonale Film Festival in the category "Innovative Cinema":
The market leader in online sales delivers everything—with free delivery and return. Michael Heindl brazenly maxes out this offer and orders everything the heart of the penniless artist desires. A pile of packages = two creative works at no cost. An exhilaratingly critical testimony to the artwork in the age of its precarious producibility.

"Jury Prize 2021" - Österreichischer Kurzfilmpreis
Vienna Shorts Film Festival
My film "Spring Will Not Be Televised" won the "Jury Prize 2021" for the Austrian competition at this year's Vienna Shorts Film Festival.
Many thanks to the Jury for their decision and their great statement:
A deceptively simple study of how we perceive our world through mediated images, this film shows us a series of boxes within boxes as seen through the eyes of a Peeping Tom. The stories on the TV screens filmed through the windows of Viennese apartment buildings revolve around their own alleged truths, while a larger reality persists somewhere out of view. To quote from Gil Scott-Heron’s galvanizing funk anthem The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: “You will not be able to stay home, brother. You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.” The Jury Prize goes to Michael Heindl’s SPRING WILL NOT BE TELEVISED.
Skin In The Game!
Kunstraum Periscope
Salzburg (AT)
Opening: May 20th 2021, 7 pm
Exhibition: May 20 - June 19
Die Ausstellung Skin in the Game beschäftigt sich mit subversivem Verhalten. Sie macht die Besucher_innen zu Kompliz_innen von Grenz überschreitenden Handlungsstrategien und provoziert Fragen nach individueller Teilhabe am Kapitalismus und Wachstumsökonomie und moralischer Verhältnismäßigkeit von Regelverstößen dagegen.
Michael Heindl stellt in seiner Arbeit eine Handlungsanleitung für Kunstwerke ohne Produktionskosten vor, indem er die Freiheiten des Online-Versandes ins Absurde wendet. Karin Pfeifer stößt in einem Interview auf die Parallelen in den stereotypen Vorstellungen vom Berufsbild einer Künstlerin und dem eines Bankräubers.

45th Hong Kong International Filmfestival
Film Festival
Hong Kong (CN)
April 1st - Apr. 12th 2021
As one of the oldest film festivals in Asia, the global reputation of the HKIFF was built on the pioneering work of programming Asian films and its retrospectives when Asian and Hong Kong cinema were not well known to the international community. Built on a solid reputation for programming, the HKIFF became the model for many subsequent film festivals around the region.

Metrokino: Oct. 29, 1:30 pm
It’s rather uncanny to watch the television screens in the private living spaces Michael Heindl filmed in Vienna during the pandemic in spring of 2020. They are always on and we are not sure anybody is watching. Only once does a person close a curtain and thus lock out the world. Behind the empty flickering, a dangerous narrative emerges, one that shows a world that has escaped into the realms of the private. Donald Trump, Rocky Balboa, shots of the Alps, it’s all the same, nobody really cares but that’s all there is. (Patrick Holzapfel)

"In Times of Deception" (2019)
Trivial objects which we rely on daily are wittingly repurposed to interact with wild and stray animals. Can we trust these objects or, as with the confused animals, are they distracting us from a deeper truth about ourselves? Would we even know we are being deceived by these things?

Michael Heindl - Two Works For Free
QDK - Art Video Loop
Raum D, Museumsquartier, Vienna
Exhibition: Aug. 31st 2020 - Nov 1st 2020
Ausgehend von dem Bestellangebot des Onlinehändlers Amazon, wonach Produkte nach einer kurzen „Testphase“ mit Geld-zurück-Garantie, wieder retour gesendet werden können, entstand ein Film ohne Kostenaufwand. Die Handlung des Films, dreht sich dabei um eine Art Bastelstunde, in der ich aus überflüssigen Teilen der Verpackungen, in denen die Dinge angeliefert wurden, anhand von bestellten Bastelbüchern, ein „kreatives Objekt“ erschuf. Vom Material bis zur Idee, sollte dabei alles auf dem Warenangebot von Amazon aufbauen. Nach Ende dieser Aktion, wurden alle Dinge wieder verpackt und zurückgesendet. Was übrig blieb, waren „Two Works for Free“: der Film und das gebastelte Objekt.

Dialogkunst – Den Wert der Kunst erweitern

Vienna (AT)
Montag, 18. März 2019, 19:00
Kunst entsteht im Dialog, Kunst ermöglicht Dialog. So liegt ihr Wert nicht ausschließlich in seiner Gegenständlichkeit, in seiner Warenhaftigkeit sondern auch oder vielleicht vor allem vor, neben und nach dem Werk selbst. Diese Befreiung des Wertes der Kunst von ihrer vordergründig „reinen Gegenständlichkeit“ eröffnet Möglichkeiten eines wertschaffenden Dialoges zwischen der Kunst und anderen gesellschaftlichen Akteuren, die aus künstlerischer, wissenschaftlicher und unternehmerischer Perspektive ausgelotet und diskutiert werden.
