‘Not Standing in Place’, a project that Tim Etchells and I have been working on for Theater Spektakel festival opened on 18th August in Zurich with a short performance by the two of us.
For the project we invited 14 international artists to propose imaginary monuments in text form, which are manifested as billboards, 3-dimensional constructions, small signs and banners installed across the festival site.
With new works by: Anne Bean, Caroline Bergvall, Season Butler, Tania El Khoury, Sharon Hayes, Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds, David Horvitz, Peter Liversidge, Harun Morrison, Ahmet Öğüt, Katrina Palmer, Dan Perjovschi, Dread Scott, and Schwar zenbach Kompl ex.
Photos of all 14 pieces are in the Projects section here. Link to the project page on the festival site is here.
If you are in Zurich, we have 6 walking tours of all the monuments over the course of the festival – led by two Zurich-based artists; scientist/artist/DJ Yara Dulac Gisler will be doing them in German and performance maker/musician Phil Hayes in English. Guided tours info and schedule is here.
