ON COLLABORATING

The different forms of working and thinking together and to develop
projects in collaborations have been a major subject in my artistic
practice for the last couple of years. I worked in various constallations
and collaborations - in the field of performance based on textual concepts
together with Ariane Koch and with Stingray Editions in the context of
writing, editing and printed matters. With the Argentinian artist Jimena
Croceri I recently realized a new series of performances connected to the
issue of water(politics), hydrofeminsim and fluidity. The project «Hidden
Poems» where artists from Argentina and Switzerland worked with the
library of Victoria Ocampo in Buenos Aires was presented with Isabel Peña
and Kambiz Shafei.

Being inspired and shaped from the thoughts of Céline Condorellis rich
philosphical discours on friendship and support structures, one could
say that friendship is about allegiance and shifting. You choose who
you want to be with and by doing so you choose them and their ideas,
works and projects, it does mean that you are making a decision, which
is inherently of a political nature. In friendship is an element of taking
sides, of making common cause, a sense of solidarity, or being loyal and
not just to the people, but to the cause they embrace. I see friendship as a
support, as an essential potential for a political, feminist and collaborative
form of work and as something that tries to form solidarity apart from
patriarchic structures. I am interested in the artwork as a situation and if
it’s historically represented by a memory or a relic. Mostly my projects are
documented with posters, books, concepts, publications, conversations or
the performed text itself.

At the moment I am exploring different and new angles to continue working
in collaborations but also following my own projects and interests. Through
my residences in Buenos Aires and Bogota my thinking and therefore also
my artistis practice has been influenced by these places and the people
I have met there. I am currently investigating the water issues and water
politics mainly in Chile and Switzerland to continue my research with fluid
conditions, feminist approaches in connection with water themes and also
the influences of water in our ways of acting and thinking.

For the performance «NOSOTRXS, CUERPOS DE AGUA» Jimena Croceri and
Sarina Scheidegger have been developing a variety of sounds and noises coming
from different sources like objects, recordings, live voices and texts. All of them
connect in their own way to fluid conditions which are among others inherent
in our bodies, the sea, (sound) waves or coconuts. Not only are these fluids
inherent in our bodies but moreover share parts of each other between them.
Being inspired by the text «Bodies of water» by Astrida Neimanis - where she
describes the pathway of a glass of water and how this glass of water we drink
makes its way to the filtration plant towards hydroelectric power to an aquifer until
it ends in a bottle of water from which we may drink again – the artists have tied
their elements of the performance to this fluidity and the movement of liquids.

A LA CIUDAD
Performance & poster edition, 2018
La Casita, Bogota, 2018
Public Space, Bogota, 2018

During the residency at «FLORA ars + natura» in Bogota, I developed the piece
«A LA CIUDAD» which combines a performance and a poster serie in the public
space. I began with a research at the biblioteca nacional in Bogota about their
archived collection of posters and printed matters relating to open readings
and lectures which were made during the 19th and 20th century in the public
space. The reading and spreading of news in an oral form was very common
as the access to newspapers was restricted and reserved for the wealthy class.
Relating to the term «Ecumenopolis», which describes a single continuous
worldwide city or the planet to become completely urbanized, I am interested in
the question of how cities are more and more alike or becoming one. The texts
or rather questions and observations in the project «A LA CIUDAD» were written
in Bogota, but some of them can also be detached from their initial origin (if they
ever had one). They are adressing a city, a city which is merged from more than
one and which has no single location anymore. The performance was held with
five performers relating to the lectues in the public space (mentioned above) and
reading the texts with a megaphone.

ROSA & LOUISE - A Feminist Manifest in Dialogues

Performance & poster edition, since 2013

Kaserne Basel (Basel)

The examination with the structures of the feminist discourse constitutes the
foundation of the manifest which is continuously rewritten by Ariane Koch and
Sarina Scheidegger. The version I-X of the dialogic piece were shown in different
stages and contexts as a performance — spoken by two performers — and as
poster edition — exposed in the public space as well as in the exhibition space. In
2018 the work was modified with two artists from Egypt as well as one performer
from Switzerland and shown in the theater context, this collaboration and
exchange with different views let to a presentation at Kaserne Basel in 2018.

with Ariane Koch
Performance & publication
Kunsthalle Basel, 2017

The performance «13» united thirteen monologues written by the artists and
performed by thirteen performers during the time of thirteen days at Kunsthalle
Basel. Each day one performer and one monologue was added. Beside the
performance there was a poster edition consisting of thirteen posters which were
shown in a daily change outside of the Kunsthalle, announcing the next character
to be joined the performance. The edition was sold in the bookshop at Kunsthalle
Basel. The text were later on published in the publication «13» with a text by Alice
Wilke.

OPPRESSED BY PRIVILEGED / PRIVILEGED BY OPPRESSION
Performance & vinyl edition
Ausstellungsraum Klingental & Kunsthalle Basel, 2017/2018

OPPRESSED BY PRIVILEGE and PRIVILEGED BY OPPRESSION were the
names of two bands performing their inaugural concert at Ausstellungsraum
Klingental in June 2017 – simultaneously. Previous to any rehearsals and in
accordance with democratic principles, the public was invited by an open call
to submit texts in response to the respective band names. The two bands used
the submissions as the raw material to adapt and interpret musically and later
present it on stage. All original texts are compiled within a publication. In 2017
each band recorded three songs and they were released in vinyl with the label «A
Tree in a Field Records» at Kunsthalle Basel in 2018.

STINGRAY EDITIONS
with Kambiz Shafei
since 2015

Stingray Editions was founded 2015 in Basel by Sarina Scheidegger
and Kambiz Shafei as a platform for varying editions with an emphasis on
collaborations with artists, writers, musicians and scientists. Stingray Editions
develops several projects in a multitude of shapes, dimensions and contexts.
At the heart of these collective collaborations, lies a dialogue which defines the
format of each edition individually. The divergent forms of these editions reflect
the nature and character of the stingray itself – a creature which can alter and
adapt without losing its existence.

 We realized several projects in the last three years working and collaborationg
among others with:
Nino Baumgartner, Eduardo Navarro, Judith Kakon, Sophie Jung, Louise Guerra,
Delphine Chapuis Schmitz, Anahita Razmi, Ariane Koch, Nicolas Raufaste,
Raphaela Grolimund, Nele Stecher, Martin Chramosta, Pedro Wirz, Silas
Heizmann, Clare Kenny, Hannah Weinberger, Jimena Croceri, Rodrigo Toro
Madrid, Vanessà Heer, Caroline Ann Baur, Johannes Gerome Gadient, Romy
Rüegger and many more.

Here documented is the poster serie «Stingray Encounters», 2017, and the
exhibition project «Within Others‘ Sounds», 2019.
