short text : not kosovo by Artur Holling

Artur Holling:
not kosovo
reaktive Videoinstallation

Burgschänke / Kaminraum

Wollseifen als Stätte der praktizierten Geschichtsschreibung und –verdrängung: Vertreibung der Bewohner, Areal für Kriegs-Spiel (bezeichnenderweise nach dem 2. Weltkrieg), Kriegerische Nutz-Architektur, sogar Neubauten, nachdem die ehemaligen Gebäude weggeschossen waren, architektonische Symbolik des Balkankriegs.
Die Installation ist nicht Ersatz für den Ort selbst und soll nicht den Eindruck einer Dokumentation erwecken. Im Gegenteil fordert sie dazu auf, den Ort selbst aufzusuchen.

Education: School for Supermen

On dark days in Germany’s Rhineland the fog boils off the cold, black lake waters of the Urftstausee, rolls upward to shroud in Wagnerian vagueness and grandeur a vast modern castle of reinforced concrete and brownstone that clings to the mountainside above. The castle is Ordensburg-Vogelsang, one of several such “Fortresses of the New Order” built in the 1930s. There, in well-equipped classrooms, comfortable dormitories, a “Tower of Wisdom” in which Hitler once planned to enshrine a sequel to Mein Kampf, the Nazi elite trained the future rulers of Germany and, they hoped, of the world.

Digitized Documents and Films of the Hungarian State Security

OSA Archivum is digitizing records on the structure and modus operandi of the Hungarian state security and other repressive organs of the communist regime. These have been obtained under strict scrutiny by private persons and researchers from various Hungarian archives, particularly from the Historical Archives of the Hungarian State Security and its predecessors. By uniting the fragmented, scattered and often artificially separated files, we hope to give a full picture of the activities and culture of the former state security organs.

Over the past few years, OSA Archivum has initiated the digitization and online presentation of several collections of state security documents. Among these are over 200 educational and propaganda films from the film studio of the Hungarian Ministry of the Interior, as well as over 10,000 pages of the Collection of Directives from the same ministry.
