EXCESSIVE COMPANIONSHIP Ein Rückblick auf die Abschlussperformance von Lena Schattenberg Im Rahmen des Artist-in-Residence-Programms 2026 des Kulturvereins SALETTL auf der Kleinen Stadt Farm entwickelte Lena Schattenberg ihre performative Forschung EXCESSIVE COMPANIONSHIP. Seit dem 19. August wuchs auf der Kleinen Stadt Farm eine Performance: Was mit fünf Minuten begann, wurde täglich um weitere fünf Minuten verlängert, zwischen Tieren, Pflanzen, Wetter und den Verrichtungen des Hofalltags. Mit THE ACCUMULATION untersuchte Lena Schattenberg Exzess als Zustand verkörperter Intensität und die Spannung zwischen einem hochintensiven Körper und den entschleunigten, ökologischen Rhythmen eines lebendigen Systems. Durch radikale Wiederholung wurden Prozesse von Wachstum, Erneuerung und Erschöpfung körperlich erfahrbar. Die Klanglandschaft entstand aus den Klängen der Farm. In den täglichen Witness & Write Sessions waren Besucher*innen eingeladen, Assoziationen, Bilder und Erinnerungen aufzuschreiben. Der Workshop The Many Dance öffnete den Prozess für die lokale Gemeinschaft. Zur Abschlussperformance am 11. September ergänzten ein kulinarisches Rahmenprogramm von Marianna Mondelos und ein Artist Talk mit Christina Gillinger-Correa Vivar den Abend.

EXCESSIVE COMPANIONSHIP The Final Performance After four weeks of daily practice, accumulation, repetition and exchange, Lena Schattenberg’s @lenaschattenberg Artist-in-Residence project EXCESSIVE COMPANIONSHIP culminates in a final performance at the Kleine Stadt Farm. Since 19 August, THE ACCUMULATION has been growing day by day, a physical exploration of excess, intensity, exhaustion and renewal, shaped by the rhythms of the farm and by texts and voices gathered from the local community. The final performance will be accompanied by a culinary programme by Marianna Mondelos @mondelos , developed in collaboration with Lena Schattenberg and inspired by the themes of THE ACCUMULATION. The evening will conclude with an artist talk with Christina Gillinger-Correa Vivar @chris.gill.correa ,reflecting on the residency, the artistic process and the questions that emerged along the way. Join us for the final performance and the closing of this four-week artistic process. Friday, 11 September 2026 at 5 PM Kleine Stadt Farm, Naufahrtweg 14, 1220 Vienna Free admission Come by, witness, listen, taste and celebrate with us.

In this three-hour workshop, Lena Schattenberg and Michael Akstaller explore the intersection of movement, sound, and space. Taking their collaborative work Stillstand as a starting point, repetition and stillness are approached as an active practice of perception. An open research format working with bodily scores, sound as an autonomous material, and spatial listening. Movement, attention, and duration intertwine through shared practice. For dancers, performers, musicians, sound artists, and anyone interested in process-based, embodied, and experimental approaches. No prior experience required. ----- workshop cancelled, new date tba ---- In diesem ca. 3-stündigen Workshop erforschen Lena Schattenberg und Michael Akstaller die Schnittstelle von Bewegung, Klang und Raum. Ausgangspunkt ist die gemeinsame Arbeit Stillstand: Wiederholung und Innehalten als aktive Praxis der Wahrnehmung. Ein offenes Forschungsformat mit körperlichen Scores, Klang als eigenständigem Material und räumlichem Hören. Bewegung, Aufmerksamkeit und Dauer greifen ineinander – im gemeinsamen Tun. Für Tänzer:innen, Performer:innen, Musiker:innen, Klangkünstler:innen und alle, die prozessual, körperlich und experimentell arbeiten möchten. Keine Vorkenntnisse nötig. ----- workshop cancelled, new date tba ---- Fassfabrik West Lastenstraße 19, 1230 Wien initiated by: @lenaschattenberg Michael Akstaller @im_flieger @westspacevienna @fassfabrik image credits 1 - Space Academy Workshop at @nopa.sound image @mitya_lyalin 2 - Fassfabrik Daniel Dutkowski 3 - performance shot "stillstand" @ilkcagla 4 - @lenaschattenberg foto Michael Akstaller 5 - @veravishnevaya foto @mitya_lyalin 6 - Michael Akstaller @z.i.m.m.t by @lenaschattenberg
STILLSTAND // Michael Akstaller (DE) & Lena Schattenberg (AT) Residency @Im_flieger Work-in-progress showing 30.1.2026 pictures: Franzi Kreis In their collaboration, Lena Schattenberg and Michael Akstaller explore the relationship between repetition and apparent stasis, how internal loops manifest themselves physically and sonically, and how new impulses can arise from this. In an age of constant stimuli, STILLSTAND deliberately focuses on the small, the easily overlooked - repetition becomes means of shifting perception, an act of reusing, a political gesture. The two artists pursue their individual research and remain in dialogue with each other and with the space. Akstaller explores architecture with sound, Schattenberg with the body - they meet in searching, in friction, in subtle shifts. STILLSTAND consciously rejects linear narration, opening fields of associations and individual perspectives instead, in which viewers and performers alike may lose, observe, and reorient themselves. @michaelakstaller @franzikreis @im_flieger by @lenaschattenberg
Today we’re releasing this small gem — a video from the collaboration between Michael Akstaller and Lena Schattenberg, recorded during our project “Stillstand” at @beim_bast Stillstand explores how repetition and apparent pause can become a source of new impulses. Movement and sound collide, shift perception, and open space for what is usually unseen. Between exhaustion and the longing for rest, the body seeks connection — with architecture, sound, and the audience. An acoustic-performative intervention without narration, inviting association rather than explanation. Special thanks to @blzt_tanz and @beim_bast for the support.

STILLSTAND (Workshop) // Lena Schattenberg (AT) & Michael Akstaller (DE) Thu 19.2.2026 // 14.00–17.00 WEST/FASSFABRIK, Lastenstraße 19, 1230 Wien (S-Bahn Atzgersdorf) // free participation // max. 15 participants // Registration with a brief informal introduction/interest/practice/bio (approx. 400 characters) at michael.akstaller(at)gmx.de WEST/FASSFABRIK @westspacevienna @fassfabrik in cooperation with @im_flieger. Based on their artistic work STILLSTAND and their research within the framework of RESIDENCY@Im_flieger, @lenaschattenberg and @michaelakstaller invite participants to explore the interplay between movement, sound, and space in a practical way. The workshop is an open research format in which simple, clearly defined tasks are worked on through repetition, duration, and attention. Physical movement sequences encounter sound phenomena and spatial hearing. Inner and outer loops are made visible and audible – and explored through joint activity. An open research format for dancers, performers, musicians, sound artists, and curious individuals – with a focus on the process, joint exploration, perception, and sharing of practice. The intensity of the body-based aspects can be chosen individually and adjusted at any time. On Saturday, 21.2.2026 at 19.00, the work-in-progress performance STILLSTAND, previously presented at Im_flieger, will also be shown at WEST/FASSFABRIK! Photo: Michael Akstaller by @lenaschattenberg
