The Project “I.A. Mozart(?)"

Initiated by the “Mozart 2006 Salzburg” organisation, Irene Andessner produced the “I.A. Mozart(?)” works in Salzburg, Austria. The question mark in the title of the project stands for the question marks in parentheses that can be found in captions and indicate uncertainties regarding the date or the identity of the person portrayed or the painter of a historical portrait of an artist. This is true for many so-called Mozart portraits, including Joseph Grassi’s “Portrait of a Man (Mozart?)” painted in 1785 which Andessner has imitated. In this (self)portrait performance piece, she reflects on the questionable, changing image that society has made of Mozart (and of artists in general) over the times — images that in their physiognomic and characteristic identifications convey the interpreters and their zeitgeist rather than the ostensible person portrayed. The idea of identifying the portrayer with the portrayed is expressed by the initials (I.A.) in the title of Irene Andessner's work which read like the question “I am Mozart?”.
Photo works, film and editions from the project “I.A. Mozart(?)” will be presented by the Rudolf Budja Gallery in Salzburg, and by “Graz Kunst der Werkstadt Graz” in Graz, Austria.
