Sabine Folie’s exhibition History Tales: Fact and Fiction in History Painting is on view at the Akademie der bildenden Künste in Vienna till May 26. The exhibition places works by contemporary artists and a variety of loans in a critical dialogue with paintings, prints, plaster casts and various documents from the academy’s collection. Alexander Kluge contributed a number of his recent short films produced with the AI image generator Stable Diffusion. For the catalogue, which is currently in production and will be presented on March 7, I wrote a short text on these pieces titled “Alexander Kluge: Alternate Histories, Potential Images.”
Images: An Installation view with Kluge’s film Digitale Kommentare zu dem Bild Triumphaler Einzug von Henri IV in Paris von Peter Paul Rubens, a version of the catalogue cover design with a still from Kluge’s film, and the final catalogue.
