38 Memory Spaces
Hand-cut stencils developed by students at the University of Applied Arts Department of Graphic Design, under the tutelage of Univ,-Lekt.Mag.Art Waltraud Jungwirth, are being sprayed onto thirty-eight sidewalks of Vienna, corresponding to 1938. Historians on the academic and advisory boards provided oversight for the selection of sites. The researched street addresses identifying sites of criminal assault, humiliation, exclusion, as well as rescue and resistance, were sprayed with the tag “Was passiert wenn wir vergessen uns zu erinnern/What happens when we forget to remember?” The phrase reoccurs in different configurations around the city in ten languages–Deutsch, Yiddish, Romani, Slovenian, Polish, Russian, Serbo-Croatian/Bosnian, Turkish, Hebrew and English. The question serves as the project axiom stimulating new conversations about National Socialism.The 38 addresses will be activated by performance artists and educators as sites for new representations of memory, developed over a period of six months. A schedule of planned performances and walking tours is posted on the project calendar on the website. and a series of walking tours of the specified sites will be available online in late winter.
Artists, historians, and educators will use the 38 sites to apply a variety of approaches to sponsor public engagement with the past: 1) Beginning with the history, project historians will use the web site and Smartphone app to post two paragraphs about each site, providing a concise, scientific report, substantiated by some form of documentation or primary source citation. 2) When possible, the app will also position an archival photo next to a present-day photo of the site. 3) Additional links will provide an extended discussion of each site, with anecdotes, and other forms of documentation based on primary source citations. 4) Interviews conducted by the project blogger, will investigate the site informally, canvassing the site, photographing how people respond to the site, interviewing people who live at or next to the site. 5) Community forums in neighborhoods containing sites will generate new conversations about the sites. Members of the different victim groups will be invited to join these discussions to dialogue about the past. 6) Performance artists will develop engaging, interactive performances at various sites, addressing the history. “Silent witness vigils” will also take place. 7) Student audio interviews will occur at the sites next spring, directed at interviewing pedestrians as they pass by the site. 8) Interviews with survivors who have a relationship to a particular site or neighborhood, will be recorded and uploaded to the web site and the smartphone app, as well as integrated into the thematic tours. 9) Thematic guided tours, actual and virtual, will be another vehicle for organizing the history and thinking about the past in relation to the present. 10) User-generated photos and videos produced at the site and uploaded to our Facebook album (coming soon) will provide another layer of documentation.

November Pogromnacht Sprays
6. November
At 14:00 on the afternoon of 6. November 2013, a memory space in front of Hamakom-Theater im Nestroyhof in the Leopoldstadt district was stenciled with a poem by award-winning poet, Robert Schindel. The Nestroyhof Theater was built by a Jewish architect, Oscar Marmorek in 1898 and home to Jewish theater until 1938, when it was closed by the Gestapo immediately following the Anschluss. Schindel was a hidden child during the Holocaust, reunited in 1945 with his mother who survived Auschwitz and Ravensbrück concentration camps. His father was murdered in the Dachau concentration camp.
At 14:00 on 7. November, a second memory space was sprayed in front of Palais Ephrussi, at Universitätsring 14. The former home of the Ephrussi family, the address was used to symbolize the theft and plunder that took place in the homes and businesses of Jewish victims during and leading up to the November pogroms. Karen Frostig introduced a discussion about theft of Jewish property starting in 1938, and contested issues of restitution related to property theft and international law, making reference to Sophie Lillie’s writing and recent articles about looted art. This presentation was followed with a reading by actress Michaela Adelberger at 15:00, from Edmund de Waal’s book “The Hare with the Amber Eyes” (using the German translation).
8. November
At 14:00 on 8. November, the sidewalk in front of Palais Rothschild at Prinz- Eugen-Straße 20-22, 1040 Wien was sprayed. This site became Eichmann’s Central Office for Jewish Emigration, responsible for the expulsion of 110,000 Austrian Jews beginning in August of 1938, and for the deportation and subsequent murder of 66,000 Jews living in Austria, starting as early as 1939. Doron Rabinovici, author of “EIchmann’s Jews: The Jewish Administration of Holocaust Vienna, 1938-1945” was invited to speak about the history of the site and the myth of Jewish collaboration with the Nazis.
9. November
Rescheduled for May 2014 (see closing), a video projection designed by Stefan Arztmann and using text from the project axiom “What happens when we forget to remember?” will appear on a building at a corner near the canal at Gredlerstraße/

At the respraying, we discussed the meaning of memory and the concept of “dialogue.” in the public sphere.
At 11:00, a spray took place at Barankapark, Hellerwiese Belgradplatz, 1100 Wien. Gilda Horvath, journalist, ORF Radio & TV broadcaster, was invited to speak about Roma history in Vienna. Dr. Jérôme Segal spoke about his work with the Roma community in a suburb of Paris, setting up numerous solidarity actions. He continued this work in Austria with Roma children from Slovakia, publishing many texts in French and German, in newspapers and professional journals to raise awareness on this issue.
At 14:00, a second spray occurred at Gedenkstätte Steinhof/Otto-Wagner-Spital, Baumgartner Höhe 1, 1140 Wien. Speaker Friedrich Zawrel was invited to discuss his experience as a survivor of National Socialism and of two encounters with Nazi Euthanasia physician’s Dr. Heinrich Gross, administrating the Euthanasia program at Otto-Wagner-Spital.
Additional Programming
Performance Art
The performance program is dedicated to learning about the interconnectedness between past and present interpersonal violence and collective violence, to prevent violence and to build mutual respect… Ildiko Meny, Curator for Performance Art
Beginning in November 2013 up to the following September 2014, the 38 Memory Spaces were activated for ten full months by various artists: performance artists, poets, musicians, installation artists, and movement troupes contracting to use the space for a public performance. Programming, developed by our performance curator, Dr. Ildiko Meny, generated a link from the past to the present, sponsoring new conversations about memory, civic courage, and the meaning of citizenship in a civil society. The performance art program addressed human rights history and drew new relationships between how the past informs the present and prepares us for the future. Performances occurred in public spaces as well as online, attracting local as well as international audiences. These events, actual and virtual, were recorded and posted on Facebook, reviewed on the project blog, and uploaded to the Smartphone app. Primarily orchestrated by Austrian artists,NGO’s and international artists whose work is related to a particular aspect of The Vienna Project, were also invited to use the space.
The Vienna Project Performance Program was designed as an open opportunity for artists and interested people to use the 38 Memory Spaces for various “actions” according to the project’s main theme of remembrance. Please see calendar for an overview of the project’s public performances.
25.November-10.December 2013 “Hair-Code” online exhibition curated by Ildiko Meny
Hairstyle, Haircut and “Hair-code” are undergoing various changes and trends within history. To wear long or short hair, beards or braids is connected to social changes, religion, religious rituals or simply by the availability of means to cut and dress. When Prussian male soldiers cut their braids off due to a new order, the saying “ this is an old braid” refers to the “change of style” since then. Both sexes, male and female used to have long or short hair within different historic periods and cultures. Consequently the social pressure to wear a certain hairstyle or to even have cut peoples hair when incarcerated can be seen a violent act against personal rights. When women or children are beaten up, men often violently tear and hold them on their hair. The Vienna Memory Project commemorates violent acts and murder and therefore we commemorate the people, who before loosing their lives in concentration camps had their hair shaved to be humiliated. Participants: Dwora Fried-Dreilinger, Nora Jacobs, Ethan Shoshan, Sonya Rapoport, Jody Wood, Kirsten Marie Thingsten, Monkey Teeth, Anthony Wills Jr., Daniel Johnson, Donna Henes, Brenda Oelbaum, Jonathan Vaughan, Priscilla Otani, Pamela Simonton, Arlee Leonard, Naoe Suzuki, Moya Devine, Adrienne Outlaw, Harley Spiller, Susan Feldman, Marcia Pitch, T, Alyne, Elaine Alibrandi.

Human erasure is a violent act. The performance “Erasure” occurs on Holocaust Remembrance Day. The Nazi-takeover of the University of Vienna began on 12. March 1938. University records indicate that “more than 2,700 mostly Jewish affiliates of the University of Vienna were dismissed and subsequently driven away and/or murdered – professors, lecturers, students and administration employees.” Frostig’s father, a graduate of the university’s law school was expelled from his internship in the courts and prevented from taking the law boards. “Erasure” invited students and pedestrians to join in the physical action of erasing, while discussing erasures of the past and the present. Erasers imprinted with the question “What happens when we forget to remember?” were distributed to participants.
