In her work, Nicole Prutsch sets in motion processes of transmission, whereby she transfers scientific methodology to her artistic practice. Using photo and video installations often based on anthropological archival material, she subjects the picture material to processes such as automation, repetition, fragmentation, and chance. In this way, Prutsch questions the idea of truth and the generation of knowledge in the western cultural tradition, but she also investigates untapped potential in conceptualisation and picture production.00The cut is the central element in Nicole Prutsch?s (b. Austria, 1980; lives and works in Boston and Vienna) work. The artist harnesses historic materials from the archives of anthropology, subjecting them to processes of fragmentation, defamiliarization, and automation as well as repetition. Analyzing anthropological researchers? methods and the provenance of their visual sources, Prutsch undertakes a critical scrutiny of the standards and stratagems that sustain a scientific claim to objectivity. In photographs, videos, and installations that integrate the archival materials, Prutsch frames anachronistic margins of free play where natural science encounters philosophy and psychology, and raises probing questions concerning the genesis of knowledge and facticity.00The publication beyond the measuring principle was produced in conjunction with the exhibition of the same title at Neue Galerie Graz. With an essay by Andreas Spiegl and a conversation between the artist and Domen Ograjensek.00Exhibition: Neue Galerie Graz, Austria (15.06.-19.08.2018).
