Attentive to the ways object, gesture, and affect are mutually implicated, appendage quivers between the remnants of fractured existence and the unbridled desire and pleasure to hold things—together and anew. Harnessing

both situated and dislocated supplies, appendage unfolds as a series of fixtures, both material and situational, that are in turn connected or plugged into the architectural and social infra- structure of the Grazer Kunstverein.

appendage emerges in the structural dissection of the institution as a public body. Currents of access, data, phone calls, water supply, tem- perature, electricity, architecture, geography, legal bond, membership, and support struc- tures are scored anew as they are redistributed, diverted, or disrupted. In such an instance of structural glitch, appendage lifts institutional functions from their normative behaviors and replenishes them with transient affiliations and elective affinities.

appendage exposes how objects and their func- tions continue drifting inseparably from person- al and collective attachments and gives body to the enmeshment between infrastructure and affective economies. It lays the transactional conditions that constitute the collective dimen- sions of intimacy bare and inflamed.
