Zeichen-Workshop: 7. – 9. März 2025

Von 7. – 9. März 2025 findet der nächste Zeichen-Workshop in meinem Atelier statt. Man lernt einen bewussten Umgang mit Zeichnung, um das Persönliche zu verstärken:

Informationen und Anmeldung sind hier.

  • Dieser Workshop unterstützt dich dabei, deine ureigene Art des Zeichnens zu entdecken, und den Wert deiner künstlerischen Arbeit zu verstehen – auch, wenn du noch nie zuvor gezeichnet hast.
  • Du bekommst neben individualisierter handwerklicher Unterstützung auch das kunstgeschichtliche Wissen, um den Wert deiner Zeichnungen emotional und rational verstehen und entwickeln zu können.

Feedback von bisherigen Teilnehmenden:

“I took this workshop to see if it would help me get inspiration from different sources than I normally have. To have a fresher look and maybe get some nice ideas for my work. What I found was much bigger than that. It worked as a space for me to express from deep inside me. A place to just draw where not even yourself could judge what you were doing.
A great gift to give yourself“

““Für mich war dieser Workshop ein wunderbares Geschenk und es fällt mir schwer, meine Erfahrungen in Worte zu fassen. Christian ist es gelungen, mich bei meinen eigenen, inneren Prozessen aufmerksam zu begleiten, mir immer wieder neue Impulse zu geben und mir gleichzeitig das Gefühl zu geben, unbeobachtet und frei zu sein. Das Atelier und das Material, das Christian zur Verfügung gestellt hat, hat es uns ermöglicht, auf eine kreative Forschungsreise zu gehen und uns in Kontakt mit unterschiedlichen Materialien auszuprobieren.“

Restplätze frei: Zeichen-Workshop 2.-4. August 2024

Von 2. – 4. August findet ein weiterer Kunst-Workshop bei mir im Atelier statt — es sind noch einige Plätze frei (die letzten beiden Workshops waren ausgebucht). Ich stelle alle Materialien zur Verfügung. Der Workshop richtet sich an Menschen mit jeglichem Vorwissen: 

  • professionelle Künstler*innen werden neue Sensibilitäten im Umgang mit dem eigenen Werk und Material erfahren, neue Kontextualisierungsmöglichkeiten und viele Ideen für weiterführende Experimente.
  • Menschen die noch nie gezeichnet haben, erleben einen offenen Raum, wo der Wert des Experiments und des Muts hochgehalten wird. Mein Wahlspruch ist: “Das ist der Workshop für Menschen, die glauben nicht zeichnen zu können“.

Zwischen diesen beiden Lebenswelten gibt es unendlich viele Graubereiche, zu denen du dich vielleicht zählst. Im Workshop gehe ich tief auf dich und deine Situation und Fragen ein — mit Offenheit, Sensibilität und Neugier. Das Wissen und die Sensibilität der Gruppe (maximal acht Personen) helfen zusätzlich, aus einen “Save Space” einen “Brave Space” zu machen.

Videoeindrücke vom letzten Workshop (Juli 2024):

Feedback bisheriger Teilnehmerinnen:

Isabella Ernst, zum Workshop vom 12. – 14. August 2024:

“Ich möchte Workshops von Christian Bazant-Hegemark sehr empfehlen, egal ob man Anfänger/in oder schon fortgeschritten ist. Ansatz ist ein möglichst (angst)-freier Zugang,den der Kursleiter, selbst anerkannter Künstler mit beeindruckenden Arbeiten (diese im Atelier zu sehen) durch eine herzliche Atmosphäre möglich macht.
Jede/r wurde individuell betreut und beraten, es gab aber auch Teambesprechungen,sodass wir voneinander lernen konnten. Es wurden auch großzügig Materialien zur Verfügung gestellt, sodass man vieles ausprobieren konnte. Ein bereicherndes Wochenende.“

Ina, zum Workshop vom 12. – 14. August 2024:

“Ich bin auf Instagram auf deinen Workshop gestoßen und schon der Titel hat mich sehr angesprochen. Bewusstsein und auch Achtsamkeit spielen auch in meinem Beruf eine große Rolle, schade also, dass ich mir im Privaten und grade in Bezug auf kreatives Schaffen so wenig Platz dafür einräume. Ich wollte wieder einen anderen Zugang zu Kreativität und Kunst finden, weg vom “Ergebnis” und hin zum Genießen des Prozesses, des Tuns.

Um ehrlich zu sein, hatte ich vor dem Workshop ein paar Bedenken und habe erwartet, auf eine gewisse Hemmschwelle zu stoßen – ich hab in der Vergangenheit auch schon unangenehme Erfahrungen damit gemacht, mich und meine Kreativität so “herzuzeigen”. Zu meiner Überraschung und Freude war das gar nicht der Fall – der Raum war so wertschätzend, wohlwollend und frei von jeglicher Beurteilung – ich habe mich vom ersten Moment an “sicher” und gut aufgehoben gefühlt.

Es gab viel Zeit, Raum und Impulse – und natürlich Material – um “einfach mal” zu experimentieren. Auch das Zusammensein und der Austausch mit den anderen Teilnehmer*innen war bereichernd für mich, manche hatten konkrete Anliegen und Ziele, andere wollten einfach eine neue Erfahrung machen, und für alles war Platz. Im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes, ich hätte nicht damit gerechnet, mich auf 1,5m breitem Papier auszuprobieren 😉 In meiner Wahrnehmung ist es dir auch echt gut gelungen, sowohl auf die Gruppe als auch die einzelnen Menschen einzugehen und jede*n dort abzuholen, wo man sich eben abholen lassen wollte.

Der Workshop hat mir geholfen, mich und mein Tun nochmal aus einer anderen Perspektive zu sehen. Hilfreiche und weniger hilfreiche Gedanken und Überzeugungen zu erkennen, zu hinterfragen und auch zu verändern. Auch einfach mal zu tun, was sich vielleich “falsch” oder sogar fast “verboten” anfühlt und zu erfahren, wie viel möglich ist, wenn man sichs dann doch erlaubt 🙂

Es war wirklich ein bereicherndes Wochenende für mich, sicher eine der besten Investitionen in mich selbst, die ich seit langem gemacht habe. Ich danke dir sehr für den sanften Schubs in meine eigene, individuelle Richtung und freu mich auf ein Wiedersehen.“

Eindrücke vom ersten “Bewusst Zeichnen (lernen)” Workshop

Fokussierte Stunden, um die eigene Kreativität zu vertiefen: alle Materialien stehen zur Verfügung, und so viel mehr noch nebenher. Neun Stunden Vertiefung, auf drei Workshop-Tage verteilt. Ich stelle mein Atelier und alle Materialien zur Verfügung; es gibt Übungen und Begleitung auf allen Ebenen: der Wert der Materialwahl, haptische und emotionale Aspekte beim Kunstmachen, Kunstgeschichte etc.

Wie fühlt es sich an, eine Linie zu ziehen? Was ändert sich, wenn man den Strich dabei dreht? Was passiert, wenn man die bisherigen Empfehlungen invertiert?

Diesen Sommer gebe ich den Workshop noch einmal

Der Workshop für alle, die glauben nicht zeichnen zu können.

 

Beim ersten Workshop (12. – 14. August 2024) waren acht Menschen bei mir, mit unterschiedlichen Ideen, Vorstellungen, Vorwissen und vielleicht auch Sorgen. Das Video hier zeigt einen Teil der Arbeiten, die dabei entstanden sind:

Art Lodge Residency 2023

Katrin Liesenfeld-Jordan and Dirk Liesenfeld have been managing the Art Lodge for over a decade. It’s a four star hotel, an exhibition space, a sculpture garden — and so much more.

I’ve been their resident once more this year, and wanted to share some photos from the time there. It was beautiful and inspiring: from hail storms to rainbows, from laughter to philosphical discussions about art, life, transit and local produce. <3

Conscious Artist Membership

After years of solo and group deep dives with artist from all over the world, I decided to offer an affordable membership program that enables everyone to join in:

The Conscious Artist Membership offers access to monthly group calls, a private FB group enabling direct communication between peers, and — can now be subscribed to by anyone, independently of their age, background, and whether they studied art. This is an open platform for those who want to discuss artmaking and the art life holistically <3

Kunst und Schnittlauch (December 16th, 2022)

I was invited once more to talk about art and life, at “Kunst und Schnittlauch“, an awesome weekly get-together at Kunsthandel Giese und Schweiger (Vienna).

If you can, do check it out in person: K&S happens every friday, free of charge, at 3pm: you get free drinks and food, and at 4pm the hosts (usually Alexander Giese and Christof Habres) talk about the week’s art events. It’s a great format, and it’s awesome people.

If You Can’t Make Sense, You Can Still Draw Plants (Workshop, Vienna)

I’ll be hosting a 4-session drawing workshop at the “Klasse für Alle” at the University of Applied Arts (Vienna), scheduled between October 2022 and January 2023.

Participation is open to everyone, the course costs €80; more here.

About the Workshop

The goal ist to integrate drawing as strategy to document processes of reflection, introspection and opinion-making. What does it mean to draw? How do you draw an experience, a feeling, a memory? An opinion, hope or otherness?
How do you then draw specific plants, landscapes or people? How would you draw the change of things, or the passing of time? How do you draw when you can’t draw? How to you draw together?

The workshop supports experimentation, with a clear focus on the process — and results being optional.

“Klasse für Alle is a new program of continuing education, created by the University of applied Arts Vienna to opening up their institutes and departments towards all those who are interested in discussing, reflecting upon, and redesigning of our society. The urgency of current existential dangers requires collective action and dialogue. We invite people of all ages, cultures and backgrounds, from all professional fields, with or without previous education, and with a diverse range of skills and interests, to work with us on building a present and future worth living.

Challenges of Creating a Portrait (Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität, Linz; June 2nd, 2022)

I was asked to hold a lecture about the “Challenges of Creating a Portrait” within the elective week organized by Darrel Toulon. Darrel founded and conceptualized “docu-dance-theatre — a model for participatory performance art, trauma transformation and societal change“. It’s a platform to engage with childhood rape victims.

Darrel Toulon: “I realized that although there are a lot of books, films, features and other publications directly focused on the women who suffered, there was almost nothing concerning the children born to these women, and who survived infancy. The literature which I found was coloured predominantly by feminism, and humanitarianism concerns for the violated women – the existence of babies conceived through rape given little or no attention – violating in turn their rights as human beings“

The workshop week at Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität Linz included international speakers like Ajna Jusić (Bosnia), Amra Delić (Bosnia), Mercy Nabiyre (Uganda/UK) and others.

I participated with a lecture about the dynamics involved in creating the film portrait of Linda Sharrock and Mario Rechtern (2019); how to connect to strangers, trust your intuition, and how to navigate the challenges of inherent portrait transgressions. The lecture happened on June 2nd, 2022

Join us between 3-8pm — it’s free, with food and drinks! Our conversation happens at 4pm, and is streamed via Instagram live here.

Unexpected Learnings and Potential Wisdoms: Game Cultures, Art and Knowledge Exchange (Lecture)

I was asked to give a lecture on specific correlations between art and videogames, at Margarete Jahrmann‘s “Ludic Soirée”, which is part of the “Experimental Game Cultures” MA study she leads.

This is a public event which you can attend free of charge, happening at Die Angewandte/Wien on March 2nd, 2022 (7pm) at Vordere Zollamtsstrasse 7.

From the description:

Game Cultures use various structures that can be precious within the fields of art and sciences: transparency, knowledge exchange, mental health discussions, collaborative digital work environments, a positive attitude towards networking and more.

The artist and veteran game designer Christian Bazant-Hegemark offers a comparative analysis about potential lessons from the gaming field, where he worked as programmer on various AAA titles (GTA3, Vice City, Max Payne, Manhunt etc). But then his focus shifted to the real AAA of Agency and All fine Arts.

Bazant-Hegemark studied Fine Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, did a PhD on “Painting and Digital Technologies”, works in drawing, painting and code. Community Building projects with the aim to make art world dynamics transparent and curatorial practice in over thirty exhibitions, the transmedial art space mo.ë., etc., will form the backdrop of this discourse, led by the head of Experimental Game Cultures, Margarete Jahrmann.

Contemporary Art Strategies – Speculations About The Artist’s Life (Lecture)

I was asked to hold a lecture at Die Angewandte, in the class of Jan Svenungsson.
From the teaser:

Before his fine art studies, Christian Bazant-Hegemark used to program video games for several years. Having experience in two industries enables him to offer comparative speculations: how could knowledge transfer benefit artists?

A conversation about the limits of art school education, about everyday realities of being an artist, and about the unique potential of continuously refining an individualized way of living.

Zeichnen ist politisch (Workshop Series)

Veronika Dirnhofer, Elke Krasny and Ruby Sircar conceptualized and organized a workshop series about the topic of “drawing is political”.  within this series, I’ll host a workshop on November 20th, 2021 (11am-1pm) at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna.

I devised over twenty individual, pair and group exercices to challenge specific topics inherent to representational art:

  • how to rethink surface appearance,
  • how to rethink craft and mastery,
  • how to rethink retinal visuality,
  • how to rehink transgression through representation
  • etc.

Details at the Academy’s website are here.

My lecture at the Viennese Psychoanalytic Society/Wiener Psychoanalytische Vereinigung

I was invited by Jeanne Wolff-Bernstein to hold a lecture about art and identity; the lecture will happen at the Viennese Psychoanalytic Society (“Wiener Psychoanalytische Vereinigung”), the world*s oldest psychoanalytic society — the one founded by Sigmund Freund, with prominent members being Alfred Adler, Wilhelm Reich, Carl Jung etc.

I’ll talk about depicting individuals that “arent’t us”: about the transgressions this inherently includes, about trying to paint what we cannot understand. About the self-portrait aspect that’s part of painting anyone else.

The lecture happens on September 22nd 2021, 8:15pm at Wiener Psychoanalytische Vereinigung, Salzgries 16/3 (1010 Wien). Here’s the link to the event.

Kultursommer Wien: two free drawing workshops, for everyone!

This summer I host two free, open-space drawing workshops, sponsored by “Kultursommer Wien /Alsergrund“.

After the first of these events already happened, I want to show you this photo which makes me super happy.

  • On the top you see a basic line tracing of a person;
  • then below, the feet, shows the same person tracing in a different way, with the two drawings having been made only an hour apart of each other.

What a difference! Wow.

My advice is usually the same, and very basic:

  • to trace more consciously,
  • to disregard “seeing objects” in favor of “naming contour/line qualities”,
  • to draw larger (most often the opposite isn’t required)
  • to be more conscious about pencil width vs the drawing’s size

In a 90 minute/2h course where you get to see attendees only once, my main goal is to bring across the joy and meditative benefits/potentials of drawing. The process, not the result.

If you want to join in: this happens on more on July 7th (4pm) at Arne-Karlsson-Park in Vienna!
You don’t need to register, and it’s free!

Free Art Coaching for Marginalized People

I started thinking about how to use my privilege to support and empower minorities. Part of my answer is to start offering free art coaching to strengthen such individuals. This can be portfolio reviews, in-depth work discussions or a general coaching about art world dynamics (networking, pricing, finding representation, creating an archive, etc): it depends on your needs.
 
WHAT: This is about supporting underrepresented artists. To help you establish the strongest voice you could possible have. If you consider yourself to be in a structurally disadvantaged situation, this might be for you. I can offer a wide set of strategies and tools to contextualize and deepen your work.
 
WHERE: The coaching can happen in person (in my Vienna studio) or online (Skype, Zoom, etc), and will adhere to safe space principles. Possible languages are German or English. I will set aside two 45min slots per week. This is meant to work internationally.
 
ABOUT ME: I’ve been self-employed as an artist for five years and am represented by two galleries. I studied Fine Arts at Vienna’s Academy of Fine Arts, did my PhD there, curated over 30 shows, co-managed an artist-run space for four years, helped set up a start-up gallery, wrote extensively about emerging painters and currently teach contemporary art history.
 
If you think this can benefit you: reach out. If you know someone else this might help: tell them. (original link)

Update: I did over twenty individual and group coachings with artists and curators from Canada, India, the Dominican Republic, Switzerland, Russia, USA, Austria and beyond.

This initiative eventually resulted in me conceptualizing a low-budget 6-week course on art world dynamics ($100 for the entire course, called “Living the Art Life“). Here’s a video of me advertising that course.

“Finding Words”: 6-week workshop about thinking and writing about art

I’m currently hosting a six-week workshop at Veronika Dirnhofer‘s class for drawing, at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna. The course aims to support artists in increasing their (art) thinking and writing skills, by discussing various forms of art writings, the general power of words and meanings as tools of consequence.

The course includes various theoretical aspects, plus loads of practical exercices aimed to empower students.

Presentation “Art and Me”, Pelham High School (2019)

In 2019 I was asked by Alexandra Rutsch Brock to give a presentation about my path into the arts, for her students at Pelham High School/NY. I talked about how I started drawing at age 24, got into the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna two years later, wrote a PhD thesis that got me into curating, led an artist-run space, managed a startup gallery, and left curating to found the On Doubt YouTube channel.

What a ride.
