Subject of the tour:

Body as Artistic Material and Form of Resistance

In this tour, we will visit exhibitions in which the body is an arena for research as well as the material itself. In these shows, materiality becomes a symbolic language that represents and provokes different layers and exposures of being. We will speak about the subject, visible or invisible, its relevancy today, and its impact. We will discuss the venues and their position in the field, the curatorial and subtle decisions that are made, and meet with representatives of these shows. As part of the tour, we will visit Liz Larner Below Above at Zurich Kunsthalle, Raphaela Vogel My Appropriation of Her Holy Hollowness at Gregor Staiger gallery, Under my Skin group exhibition at Last Tango, Teresa Margolles exhibition at Peter Killchmann gallery and Peter Fichli & David Weiss Airports and Cars exhibition at Eva Presenhuber Gallery. Please notice that accessibility is limited in some of these locations.

We look forward to sharing this exciting moment with you!
