FRANZISKA - Anne Glassner
Info
TOURDATA
Körnermarkt 14, 3500 Krems an der Donau
Starting from the life story of her great-grandmother Franziska, Anne Glassner examines the history of the female tobacco workers of Stein in her new work. Personal memory intersects with collective experiences, as the private archive connects with social history and female work biographies. The Stein tobacco factory – a place of female labor, solidarity, and resistant care – serves as the historical starting point. Glassner asks how these forms of cohesion have inscribed themselves into bodies, spaces, and memories, and how they continue to resonate to this day.
In the exhibition, personal objects of the great-grandmother enter into a dialogue with contemporary works by the artist. The still-existing tobacco workers' apartment on Dr. Karl-Dorrek Street becomes the backdrop for a dreamlike, surreal scenario, where places seem to speak and the body of memory becomes visible. The installation is complemented by a photograph from the Linz tobacco factory, in which the artist sleeps in a self-sewn pajamas – a quiet gesture of retreat, born as an act of refusal and solidarity during her scholarship at the VALIE EXPORT CENTER in 2023. Voices of the tobacco workers and memories intertwine with artistic interventions, creating a space where questions arise about what remains: from a life, from a community, from a working world that seems to have vanished – and how archives can be opened to make female history(ies) audible and visible.
